Following the warning issued by Kasit Piromya, Thailand’s minister of Foreign Affairs, on UNESCO, asking the latter to ask authorization from Thailand to visit Preah Vihear temple, the Cambodian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (CMFA) immediately rejected this unreasonable warning. On Thursday, Koy Kuong, spokesman of the CMFA, reacted to Kasit’s warning by saying that the issue raised by Kasit is wrong because Preah Vihear temple is located inside Cambodia. Koy Kuong claimed that the visit of UNESCO’s officials to Preah Vihear temple was done totally inside Cambodian territory, including the road to the temple itself. Koy Kuong said that, in the past, Thai officials who came to pay visit to monks residing inside Wat Keo Sekha Kiri Svarak Pagoda must ask the authorization from Cambodia, therefore the issue raised by Kasit must be rejected in its entirety.

Khmer Surin should rise up and make yourself heard!!

If Khmer Surin wants to see Prasat Preah Vihear and Angkor Wat they need to be Khmer and declare yourself to break away from the Thai ASAP.

To fill the complaint that Cambodia encroached their land or Preah Vichear is on their side, Thailand must bring map to prove that or they have no case.

First of all, I don’t think Thailand would use self drawn map because that would be 120% stupid and would bring shame not just to their governments but the whole nation. So, Thailand will have no choice but to use the map drew by French and signed the king of Siam. Now, if they do that they will lose the land they been claimed was belong to them. I don’t know. I don’t think Thailand can pull this one off.

So, to all Khmer people all over the world. Please help pray for Thailand not to let more shit hit their face. They are still your neighbor, even though they are very greedy.

We can't change the Thai nor the Vietnamese mentalities, but we can be united as one at all cost if possible.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Cambodia should send a note verbal to UNESCO, not just press release.

Cambodian Preah Vichear is property of UNESCO. Is Mr. Kasit Piromya being ignorant or he just wants to be an ass? I can’t believe Thai let this guy represent them.
