Kampuchea Thmei newspaper
Translated from Khmer by Socheata
A report from Preah Vihear province indicated that in the afternoon of 30 October 2008, Thai commanders held a banquet for Cambodian soldiers stationed in the Preah Vihear temple area so that they can enjoy a good time with Thai soldiers. The aim of this banquet appears to try to heal the wound which took place during the earlier incident.
Report from the commander of (Khmer) troops stationed in Preah Vihear temple indicated that the banquet took place at about 3:00 PM near Wat Keo Sekha Kiri Svarak pagoda, and several Thai and Khmer commanders, as well as a number of Khmer soldiers were allowed to join in the banquet, but not all soldiers along the border are allowed to join in.
The report indicated that the banquet included the roasting of a beef and several other dishes. Cambodian officers indicated that Thai troops commanders picked up the tab for the food and beer offered at the banquet where both sides discussed very cordially with one another.
The report also indicated that Thai commanders who were present in the banquet told their Cambodian counterparts to forget about all that had happened in the past, including the fighting which took place on 15 October, and that they should talk to each other as normal again. In particular, Thai commanders said that Cambodia should allow the transport of goods from one country to another without any restriction.
It should be noted that this banquet is remarkable because it takes place after the 15 October fighting and several other incidents which took place along the border. It appears to show that the Thai side seems to soften its stance and it wants to find a reconciliation for the wounds, as well as the strengthening of the solidarity ties with Cambodia again in the name of neighboring countries. During the banquet, Thai commanders expressed their strong hope that armed clashes will not happen again, and what will take place will only be the trades of goods between Thailand and Cambodia.
During the banquet between Thai and Khmer soldiers, Cambodian villagers are concerned that this is merely a Thai trick because in the past, Thais have used all kind of tricks to invade Cambodian territories even if there was a bilateral agreement in place to reduce tension along the border.

fuck no thai use poison to kill cambodian army by food and drink! be carefull with the son of bitch thai!
I think there is another fighting soon and Thai will use this food and drink to stop Khmer soldier from shooting them.
this surely another trick to soften our Khmer mind and we fall into tricks again and again.
to all Khmer soldier, please don't hesitate to shoot the twisting Thai because they try to poision your mind now. They have no shame and will use every tricks they can find to gain anything from any body.
Please be carefull. It's will be a trick to kill our guys. Our tropt need to learnt history from the pass between Siem and Khmer. What they did to us, there are a lot of trick for the war. Please keep in mind about that.
Just keep your troop out of our soil and peace will be prevail.Is it hard to understand ?
This is exactly how Siam screwed Khmer ruling families in the late 1700's then annexed many provinces.
Siam sweet talks fooled Khmers up to this moment.
Keep away from Siamese food and alchohol.
Great! Another thai lie and deceitness to trick Khmer people into thinking they want peace. Cambodia you better watch your backs because if not we will not live to see our land anymore. I suggest the commanders do not deal with Thai and leave them where they are. This is just another tactical trick or treat scheme to soften Khmer commanders and soldiers into encroaching on our soil. My suggestion for your Cambodia is not to accept their generosity. I know they have some kind of trick up their sleeves. Watch out Cambodia!!
50/50 = win/win
no true business should be deal with the enenmy until all points are made.
Thai psychological warfare.
Khmer is very good with black magical spell to chase devil and curse the enemy.
Thai is widely known to be good for mind seductive attraction. The land of smile until your valet pocket is empty.
Who will win this psychological manifestation.
Here we go.. how.. asians are best
in the corruption.
Khmer CPP use this kind of maneuver
to buy poor khmers
Now thais too..
and 50/50 = win/win
CPP use it for their own profits.
They take the 2 wins...
Let's the 0... to others...
Sooner or later, Cambodia will be like Vietnam,
Only one political party, khmers have to vote !
Khmers want to be viets slave and
not to be Siam's slaves.
Anyone know what is the difference?
In my opinion, it's seems khmers
support viets..?
So much confusion...!!!
Khmer watch thai movie, not viets movies.
Khmer Canadian
Before you said CPP bad. do you think which one of khmer partie are good? Who made the pecefull gave to khmer people till now?
My beloved 11:02PM!
What doth ya meant "Peaceful"?
The country is peaceful, no longer have war?
Or the conditional Khmer's living is peaceful, but more than millions poor and miserable Khmers are still desperately needed food and places to live?
"It appears to show that the Thai side seems to soften its stance and it wants to find a reconciliation for the wounds, as well as the strengthening of the solidarity ties with Cambodia again in the name of neighboring countries".
I disagree with what is said in the note from the quote above.
KHMERS... YOUR STUPIDITY WILL DESTROY YOU. DON'T BE SO STUPID WITH A DISH OF DELICIOUS FOOD.
THEY HURT YOU AGAIN AND AGAIN AND CARESS YOUR WOUNDS AND YOU FEEL GOOD? YOU ARE NOT A STUPID DOG, ARE YOU?
KHMER ARE NOT REALLY SMART.
THIS SHORT OF EVENT SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED IN THE FIRST PLACE.
KHMER LEADERS ARE DUMB.
WHY DO YOU ALLOW SUCH STUPID EVENT TO TAKE PLACE WHILE THE THAI HAVE VIOLATED YOUR SOVEREIGNTY ENDLESSLY?
YOUR STUPIDITY WILL KILL YOU. AND I WILL NOT HAVE SYMPATHY FOR THE STUPID
it's better to mend friendship and help each other along our common borders. let's hope thailand is genuine about helping cambodia and not just another tricks of theirs. good that they tried to regain trust and love from cambodia, however, only time will tell their true nature. watch for anything in reciprication as there's always a string attached to their unusual manner toward cambodia, especially if later they would use that to say that they help cambodia but cambodia is not appreciative. so, watch out for that kind of dirty trick because a good, loving people would never say something like that just to gain love and affection then turn around and rob you in the middle of the daylight. that said, thailand still has a long, long way to win cambodia's affection, i'm sure. and khmer people would rather look beyond thailand for any assistance anyway as we cannot really trust thailand for their same dirty tricks that tend to show a pattern of their intention on cambodia. again, only time will tell the truth.
