PHNOM PENH, April 2 (Xinhua) -- Thai Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya has apologized to Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen for the misunderstanding of the word he used to describe the premier, according to his letter received here on Thursday.
"Do kindly accept my deep apology for such an unfortunate incident and the unintentional cause of misunderstanding," said the foreign minister in the official letter dated April 1 for the prime minister.
"I have the honor to refer to the recent news reports that Your Excellency is concerned with the terms that I used to describe Your Excellency during the parliamentarian debate session in Thailand," he wrote in the letter.
"In the Thai language, the word 'Nak Leng' which I used during the debate means a person who is lion-hearted, a courageous and magnanimous gentleman, and this is what I referred to you as an expression of my appreciation of and respect for Your Excellency," he added.
On Tuesday, Hun Sen lashed out against Kasit Piromya, for he recently called the premier a "gangster."
"I am neither a gangster nor a gentleman, but a real man," the official Agence Kampuchea Presse quoted the prime minister as telling a road inauguration ceremony in Sihanouk province.
Hun Sen asked the Thai foreign minister to correct the comments that he made.
"To correct or not, it is your right. But, I wish that you choose good words because we are neighbors. We need mutual respect," he added.
According to the prime minister, Kasit Piromya called him a "gangster," because he was angry with the premier for having issued an ultimatum to Thailand to pull its troops out of the Cambodian border area of Veal Intry last October.
Thai troops had armed clash with the Cambodian ones there in October last year, causing death and casualties on both sides.

"Nak Leng" in Thai or "Neak Leng" in Khmer and "Gangster" in English relatively mean the same thing.
Nak Leng = Neak Leng = Gangster = thug = cutthraot = hoodlum
The truth of the matter is that Thai FM really meant to say "gangster" and Hun Sen is indeed a gangster. The word really fits Hun Sen's characters perfectly, no question asked.
However, Thai FM should not use that kind of word to call any foreign leader. In so doing, it reflects himself as a Nak Leng as well.
AH mother fucker Kasit Piromya better be sorry because it won't help his political career!
The Siem always look down on Khmer even Khmer leaders!
In the Khmer language, the word “Nak Leng” means a person who is thug, gang or criminal.
Kasit Piromya was right.
Hun Sen is a gentleman with a thug-hearted.
or
Hun Sen is a gentleman with a gang-hearted.
or
Hun Sen is a gentleman with a criminal-hearted.
I am 100% agree with the Thai Foreign Minister.
I have a question for Hun Sen Khmer Rouge Regime.
Since Hun Sen Khmer Rouge Regime likes to assassinate innocent Khmer peoples.
Does Hun Sen Khmer Rouge Regime have any plan to assassinate the Thai Foreign Minister?
APOLOGIZE is not accepted since this asshole Hun will not do anything to foreiners. So you stupid siem do not need to apologize to him at all. For other Khmer people you do have to but not this stupid gangster.
Why apologize! The truth is Hun Sen is the head of CPP gangster in Cambodia.
Enough is enough for the Thai arrogant. It's about time to show some respect to its neighboring leaders no matter how bad they are.
Thanks to Kasit Piromya, the Thai foreign minister now the world know that Hun Sen is a gangster.
Hok Lundy said that he is a mafia leader of Cambodia.

Thais have expressed his behavior to Cambodia Nation especially High Rank official up to PM.
In the past Thai Army made a lot of Suffering to Cambodia Refugees
- Thai has violated Khmer land... many times since Aug. 08
- Thai soldier has Broken down a GPS Machine of Cambodia delegate (in the face of Minister)in Tamoan teple
- Thai did not allow Cambodia Tourist(Boat Tour) to enter ThaiLand( all tourist got visa.. Diplomatic/Official Passports including high Rank officials Generals as well.
--- many other case
Now Thais play/test/look down to our PM.. If words good or bad positive/negative as Diplomat/representing Thai Nation.. Nak Leng shall not be used to compare with other leaders...
Thai considers our PM as a "Child" below 5 years old..
Any opologies shall not be accepted....
Thai FM as Thai PM want to play with a Child... test what will happen////
As a country of the world "Thai FM should be pushed to Resign.."
If no resignation Cambodia should not accept the opology..
Fighting and later attacking the Back is not good....
For the journalists.. writer... normal citizens.. publics using this TERM-Nak Leng is OK but as Foreign Minister... this act means LOOK DOWN...
Excellency Bandit PhD General Oknha Acha Knoy
Thai has many times slapped Cambodians on their head and patted their back.
So what Hun Sen is going to do? Hun Sen should seek an internationl court to solve the border issue instead of prolonging the problem which could cause spend more Cambodian lives.
Solving the problem bilaterally doesn't work.
Cambodia already lost more land to Vietnam because Hun Sen wanted to it away. This is a bigger problem than the land issue with Thailand.
Hun Sen has to be responsible for the land his exchanged with Vietnam for his power and the crimes he committed on the Cambodian peoiple.
