Happy New Year! And may those who are virtuous and generous be healthy and good fortune follow.

While Mr. Fish will fall into Viets fish market. With slimmy scales and lumped gilles.

The Thais are patronizing and hypnotozing the Cambodians into forgetting about the border issues. They only do this because they want Cambodia to forget about ta moan thom, ta krabey and preah vihear temples as well as other border areas occupied by thailand. if thailand is genuine about building good and cordially relationships with cambodia they wouldn't invade cambodian territories in the first place. don't be fooled by the thai tricks, folks!
