What can I say when you deal with the Two Heads Kamen sometimes you have to do things in its way.
Siem is very lucky to have a chance to learn from Kamen who is the best Two Heads ever.
OK 3:56pm. "You think, therefore you are" Pascal.
6:34 PM You think so? OK then.
General Neepal is a coward mad dog in the region. He pretends that he is above everyone else in Thai government. No one can order him around. He quickly forgot that his troops surrendered to Cambodian and it was enormous insult by Cambodian when the fight broke out in Oct. 2008.
Next time the prisoners of war will be paraded in the video for proof that Thai troops are invaders and criminals cross into Cambodian’s territory so that they have no way for denial.
win-win situation for siam is there why need to withdraw? we know noonday you talk tough, but at the end of the day you will beg us to stay in power, not to instabilize your government.
compared government capacity and heads we're far mighty than just a bunch of all you corrupted-minded.
go figure!
sounds like the so-called "siamese twins. that's why khmer called them "siem" because their old name was "siam", not thailand like today! so, don't try to think this khmer term is "derogatory" because it's not. it's just easier for our khmer people to called them "siem"! (by the way, "siem" mean brown-skinned or black-skinned race of people from old khmer words. plus, "siem" people were slaves to khmer during the great khmer angkor civilization; and after they gained independence from the khmer of angkor, i think around the death of the last great dynasty of the god-kings of angkor circa beginning of the 13th century, that's when they became a separate political force against the khmer, and thus, the beginning of their nationhood as bornt at around this time. anyway, they adopted the khmer ways i.e. alphabet, language, political administration, culture, tradition, costume, etc...; that is why they are very similar to cambodia and khmer of today. please understand their origin was really borrowed from khmer traditions, culture, etc after the decline of the great khmer civilization of angkor from 802 to well into 1500s a.d. anyway, it is interesting to know history of khmer and siem people as they are really intertwined. even laos, too, adopted from khmer ways, a lot! god bless cambodia.
I think only you would think "Kamen" is a "derogatory". Don't try to think this Thai term means stinky slave because it's not. It's just another rumor that you shouldn't believe. It's just easier for our Thai people to called you "kamen".
And one thing about the history. Siam wasn't Khom slave. Siam just have to render Khom services(I think it's a big different) because at that time Khom is the most powerful Kingdom. Siam was influenced by Khom a lot but not that every things belong to Khom, mind you. Just don't assume that all Thai cultures today were yours. Thai culture has been developed through time Sukothai, Ayutthaya, Rattanakosin they are all differrent. but it's very interesting to see that Kamen art especially the painting look very similar to Thai art in Rattanakosin era that's because King Preah Bat Ang Duong had been living in Bangkok(Rattanakosin era) for 27 years before return to Cambodia. And when he went back to Canbodia he did brings a lot! of Thai things with him.
FYI. At the beginning of Ayutthaya, Ayutthaya art was influenced by Khom art a lot but the Khom influence just stop right there At the beginning of Ayutthaya era and by the end of Ayutthaya era the art was differrent from the beginning already. not to mention Thonburi era (before Rattanakosin era) which only last for 15 years with a lot of influence from Chinese art.
