The new Thai foreign minister put border issues with Cambodia as a top priority after the conclusion of the Asean Summit. Thai media reported on Sunday Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya as saying that border issues with Cambodia will be the most important issues after the Asean Summit.

Mr. Kasit said that the border issues can be resolved because Cambodian PM hun Sen was the first leader to have sent a congratulation letter to Mr. Abhisit Vejjajiva, after the he was elected as Thailand's PM. He said that Mr. Hun Sen's gesture is a good sign for warm neighbourly relations between the two countries.

Mr. Phay Siphan, spokesman for Cambodia's Council of Ministers, said that what Cambodia can see is that Cambodia welcome the commitments of the new Thai foreign minister who puts the Khmer-Thai border issues at his top priority. He said that Cambodia commends these commitments.

He added that Cambodia and Thailand must implement the November agreements between the two foreign ministers that were signed in Siem Reap. In the agreements, both sides have decided to put the Preah Vihear border issues on the top of the agenda.

Mr. Abhisit Vejjajiva should delare war with Campucha. Because, Campucha are poors and weaks internal and external political policy. All Thais will support Mr. Abhisit Vejjajiva goes to war with Campucha and annex Campucha.

Another Khmer pretending to be Thai @1:29am. Cambodia should take the border disputes with Thailand to UN or ICJ. Don't waste time with Thailand. They are playing games. They will never withdraw troops from Khmer territories. Kick them out by legal and diplomatic means.

If the US can invade Iraq, India could invade Pakistan, why not Thais or Vietnam could invade Cambodia. So, Cambodia needs to be very careful in solving the problems and should choose right alliances to be safe. The two neighbor giant countries can't be trusted. Ask for long-term US protectoriate would help if US has a fair policy toward Cambodia and Thailand or choose China.

Right! The new Thai foreign minister put border issues with Cambodia as a top priority. Look the current situation a long the border. Thai military troops are doing military excerxises with using heavy gun machines a long the border from 09 to 29 December from locations opposited Banteay ampil district to Anlong Veng district of Cambodia and sent 1000 troops to the location opposited to Tatum of Cambodia in Anlong Veng district. Ah Hey! this is the top priority boorder issue of new Thai government.

No surprise they’ll find means to make an excuse the same thing their predecessors have done in the previous gov’t. The case needs to be brought before the World Court again and make Thai thieves respect the world or the United Nation will become United Nothing if no one respects that.

Thailand has two choises. Go to war with Cambodia and go to hell or make peace and start making money. Pick!

You never know, because Thailand wasn't all smart, if they do, they wouldn't choose to block their airport right in the middle of the global financial crisis or right before their King's birthday. They knew Somchai needed all the time he can get to prepare their revered monarch's big day. They could have just waited a little longer, but did they care? No and the poor man just have to settle with less and miserable. Get ready for their unexpected and their unthinkable turn. After all, they were half dumb just like everybody else.

No body can deny that Thailand and Vietnam can invade Cambodia! In fact this is not the first time that Thailand and Vietnam invade Cambodia!

Well let take a recent history as an example such the incident when Vietnam has to invade Cambodia in 1979 to remove Mr. Pol Pot from attacking Vietnam. But did Vietnam was successful in conquering Cambodia after 10 years of their military campaign? Of course!


If the Thai leaders are so foolish and so blind not to learn from the recent history and let them come to Cambodia and find out for themselves! I will promise to these Thai warmongers that It won't a walk at the panic or at the park and they will regret the day that they attack Cambodia!

Thailand should have done it in 1979 and be able to rescue Cambodia soon before that. Who could smell Communist better than Thai? not sure why they didn't. It's such a shame and kind of too late now. Also it would be very very difficult to do it, becuase Cambodia isn't standing alone anymore. You know the vietman federation shit. Cambodia just have to live in the dream land, if she wants to have a full and complete freedom.
