A Cambodian military officer said that Thai commanders wanted to redeploy their soldiers inside Wat Keo Sekha Kirisvarak pagoda after those troops were withdrawn from the pagoda a long time ago. Recently they attempted to reinforce the troop numbers to set up camps in the frontlines.
Cambodian deputy commander of the Intervention Force of Division 12 based at Preah Vihear area, Brig-Gen. Yiv Vanthorn, said that on 29th November, the Thai commander of division 6 of the Suranaree Force, Col. Chayan Huay Songnern, has requested to Cambodian authority to station 10 soldiers, wearing onlycivilian clothes, inside the Wat Keo Sekha Kirisvarak pagoda at night time with the supervision of the Thai delegation.
The same Khmer military officer (Brig-Gen. Yiv Vanthorn) said that the Thai request has been rejected. But on the morning of Saturday, a group of Thai soldiers have crossed the borders by attempting to set up camps in the frontlines but they were forced to leave the areas by Khmer troops.
The same military officer (Gen. Yiv Vanthorn) said: “Yesterday Thai troops came to see us. Their forces that have been redeployed (withdrawn) from the Wat Keo Sekha Kirisvarak pagoda came back wearing civilian clothes and said to us that when their leaders came to monitor the situations there they wanted to stay inside the temple without carrying any weapons. We did not agree with their request. And they reinforced their troop numbers to the frontlines by attempting to set up camps there but we forced them to leave the areas.”
At the disputed border areas in Oddor Meanchey province, from Ta Moan to Ta Krabey temples, one police officer who wants to remain anonymous, said that on Sunday Cambodian border patrol unit saw a group of Thai soldiers have crossed the borders and set up two camps about 3 kilometres from O’Choup Koki district and they used these camps as their bases for patrols.
The police officer said: “Our troops are on around the clock patrols from Rumduol checkpoint all the way to Ta Krabey temple. They set up camps at a place called Chan Krohorp, about 4-5 kilometres east of O’Choup Koki. They built two huts there and sometimes they stayed there, sometimes they went back to their bases. But we are on constant patrols there as well.”
Some circles within the Khmer society and some Khmer politicians want the border disputes resolved as quickly as possible. But on the 28th of November, Foreign Minister Hor Namhong said that the political turmoils in Thailand have affected the border talks for the planting of border pillars between Cambodia and Thailand which was supposed to be held in December.
Please note that since Thailand sent troops to invade the Preah Vihear areas on the 15th of July, 2008 there were many talks between Cambodian and Thai foreign ministers but those talks were always faced with obstacles due to complicated political situations in Thailand.//

Thais never stop trying to steal Khmer territories. The Thais will try until they succeed. We Khmers must defend our territotories at all cost.
Keep boycotting thai products. They are in a mortal tailspin.Keep it up.
We Khmer can see and understand how much siam wanted to swallow our land. They had a big problem inside their land but still they can set up a plan to steal the land from us. Because they know how to works and runs the country by dividing a job to their people. Do not look down on them and I beleive we Khmer already prepare for the worst situation in the near future if not our land will be divided in two. One side yourn and other siam. Do you think Mr. Hun knew that? or he might help to make bad thing to happen???
Do not and i repeat do not let Thai soldiers come and sleep at our temple again.
Yes, never and ever allow the Thai soldiers to sleep in Wat Keo Sekha Kirisvarak, otherwise they will stay there forever. . The Thai are very tricky, we must not be fooled by them.
fucking thai fags get out of asia you fags..... PUT ALL THAI PEOPLE ON A BOAT AND SHIP THEM OUT TO SEA IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE....THEN BLOW UP THE BOAT..............GET YOUR FUCKING MIND RIGHT>>>>>>>NOW YOU GUYS JUST WANNA CRUISE THERE AT THE WAT WITH NO UNIFORM AND NO GUNS.........YOU GUYS R GONE!!!!!!
I REPEAT FUCKING GONE
Why Khmer should wait for a bilateral talk?
Why Khmer still calm and wait for a bilateral talk until Thais resolve their inside turbulence?
I wonder, Does Thais has only a bunch of monkey Minister to discuss about that? Or Cambodia?
In my view, we should force them to discuss now. We can not remain calm and wait.
** If Thais be able to strengten their political turmoil, they absolutely will move forward. This is a best and only one way to win a disputant border. **
They care nothing about ASEAN, UNESCO or any contact. What they care the most is to get rid of Khmer. And most important, If it's possilbe to more their boundary over the Preah Vihear Temple.
Contrastingly, if Cambodia did not take this opportunity while Thais head down, Khmer has no chance to win. Cambodia will talk and talk, over and over, again and again, with nothing resolve.
Defeats Thais to the ground while they are collapsing. It's not cruel, but it's only the best Khmer should do.
Khmer Over-Water
Cambodia should not wait for bilateral talks because these talks did not produce any results. The Thais are playing games. They don't talk serious- they just play games. Cambodia should take the matter to UN or ICJ now.
The unrest in Thailand came as a result of their invasion into the sacred land and temples of Cambodia. It's perhaps time for their bad fate.
You lawless and hopeless Thai invaders will end up sucking each other's blood.
Raja
Do not let's thais take our lands..
We are with vietnam.
If Thais attack us.. Vietnam will help !
Vietnam and Khmer are happy families !
