Prince Sisowath Thomico greeted by his supporters.
Dear Readers,
The debates over the issue of Preah Vihear have gotten interesting by the day. Since Khmerization published a translated article from everday.com about new Thai incursions into the Preah Vihear precinct, Khmerization has received emails from at least three high-profile and eminent personalities. Mr. Norbert Klein, a high profile NGO executive in Cambodia, has weighed in by raising the issue of the 2008 Joint Communique which, according to Mr. Klein's understanding, seems to concede that the territories around the Preah Vihear temple belong to Thailand. Mr. Klein's rationales have attracted Khmerization's detailed response.
Khmerization's exchanges with Mr. Klein seem to attract the attention of Ambassador Julio A. Jeldres, an official biographer of ex-king Sihanouk, who then weighed in the debates with his very thoughtful analysis.
The latest email has been particularly of great interests to me because it came from a Khmer royalty who is very proficient in the history of Khmer borders, particularly the history of Koh Tral Island. Prince Sisowath Thomico, a son of Prince Sisowath Methavi, has been a controversial figure in the not-so-kind and cut-throat politics of Cambodia but, when it comes to Khmer borders and history, he should be commended for his uncompromising patriotism and his unquestionale knowledge. Below is his email to Khmerization:
Dear Sir,
I would like to weigh in the debate regarding the official name of Preah Vihear. As my friend Ambassador Julio rightly pointed out, up to now, all official notes issued by the Royal Government of Thailand referred to Preah Vihear as Preah Vihear not "Khao Phra Viharn" as now surprisingly demanded by Thailand.
As a matter of fact, international relations are ruled by international laws, international/bilateral treaties and international/bilateral conventions. As far as Preah Vihear is concerned, the last official treaty/agreement/judgement refer to the Temple as Preah Vihear, including the infamous June 18, 2008 Joint Communiqué.
There is no mention of "Khao Phra Viharn" in any international document ever since the June 1962 ruling of the International Court of Justice of the Hague. So, it is clear that Preah Vihear is the only name that ought to be used while referring to the Temple in any international negotiation/treaty/convention/agreement.
Last but not least: Preah Vihear belongs to Cambodia. It has to be referred to under its Cambodian name. It would be laughable and irrelevant if Cambodia ever wanted to refer to Ho Chi Minh City as "Prey Nokor" in official bilateral/international document. The same goes for Preah Vihear.

Thank you, Prince Sisovwath Thomico for the information. It would be nice if you can elaborate on the current situation as to what status of negotiation between both sides and Thai claims to the land surrounding the area.
Your info. and feedback would be helpful and much appreciated.
ហេ លោក ធម្មការ ទើបតែងើបពីដេកទេតើ?
ហា៎ហា៎ហា៎!
Hahahaha, Ah Gorilla fucker getting a head job from Ah Scumbag (Thomico).
yeah you Viet leech @8:13 AM go eat shit and die, got that?
ignore the personal attack! i don't care what people are doing in their personal life and in their own private bedroom, as long as it's not illegal or something. so, no hate, please!
The word "hate" came out of your mouth and nobody else's 9:13 AM. It's your interpretation, it's your own choosing, so beware!
Dear KI Operator,
Though your site had from time to time commendable quotes and articles, but what shoots you down from being real credible is all those "personal and emotional" comment in your blog and that doesn't in anyway lend credence to your site being rated professional.
Perhaps as operator, you should have a software or monitoring system to "report and block" any such abuse from all those anonymous commentators...
But again you are free to operate your site as you deem fit.
Hmmmm 10:01 AM,
you don't have to advertise yourself as "Kaun Khmer"...The readers will judge for themselves as to who and what you are in other words if they give a rat arse...LOL!
Most of you pretended to be Khmers in order to defame Khmers. Khmer is a nation with dignity.
Learn not to enjoy life by just insulting others.
Dear all Khmers!,
Most of the comments I've seen hosted on the blog, they are often bored with rude words and immoral and unprofessional acts. I noticed that most of the comment givers are good in English and that you must be professors or scholars and well-educated. We should not use any inappropriate words to condemn some high-profile figure or even royal family.
Khmer
If they are crook and leech like Hun Sen and the like, why not 10:45 AM?
Yeah 10:50 AM, just like we say in Khmer ជេរពពួកអាអស់នោះអោយវាធូរពោះ
ខ្លះណា!
Why Thai did not demand in document that the negotiation meeting was held in Krungtheb Mahanakhorn instead of Bangkok?

To 10:45AM,
I cannot find any good word to describe this royal family or traitors. Because of this bloody royal family incl. Sihanouk and R-Ranarriddh that is why Khmer is still nowadays.
My advice to you 10:45am, shut your mouth and face!
Prince Thomico's comments here are very sensible. Preah Vihear belong to Khmer, it was built even before Thai people came settle in the areas, therefore Khmer name must be used in legal documents. The same with the documents for the negotiations, the 1904 treaty must be used, not the 2008 joint communique as implied by Mr. Norbert Klein.
Yeah, but Phra Viharn was built on the mountain for Khmer Leu who lives on the mountain. Therefore, it belongs to Khmer Leu. This is no difference from someone building a new temple in Svay Rieng. It automatically belongs to people in Svay Rieng, as simple as that.
HEY SHORT BRAIN 8:54PM ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT KHMER LEU OR SIAM INVADER?
DO KHMER LEU SPEAK KHMER OR SIAM? IF THEY REAL KHMER AND SPEAK KHMER THER WOULD PRONOUNCE IT "PREA VIHEAR"
MAY SUTNAMY CONSUME THE LIARS!!!!
Haft good Tomeko! but Prey Norkor was belong to khmer and the fucking Viet stoll it!
You should say wy don't we insist to call Ho Chi Minh city " Ah Goat Face City"?
