This act shows that the Khmer heart is a genuine Buddhist heart which is good.
And those two Thai villagers who wandered into Khmerland ought to consider themselves lucky for evading all the hidden landmines scattered in all the jungle. They could have returned home with grave injury.
Qm
did the thai do the same for the khmer who illegally enter their country? it ought to be same for both, you know, according to the report!
Yea, whatever happened to our brothers that is still in Thai custody? Why aren't they released yet? There is something wrong here in this picture. It should be a one for one swap.
Yes, what happened to those two Khmers who were detained by Thai soldiers in retaliations for the detentions of two Thai citizens by Khmer police? If the two Thais are released those two Khmers must be released. There must be an exchange of prisoners. If the two Khmers were not released, I think the Cambodian govt. did not look after our citizens very well.
where are the two cambodians whom thai soldiers captured last week?
