Tamone Thom and Tamone Touch temples are clearly situated within the territory of Cambodia: You Aye

Re: "Travelling a royal road to the Khmer Empire", April 22.
Letter to The Nation

In this article, the author wrote that Phimai is "the birthplace of a number of Khmer kings" and that Tamone Thom - not Ta Muen Thom - temple is inside Thai territory (Surin province).

To provide your readers with more accurate information about the Khmer Empire and the true story of Tamone Thom, I wish to draw your attention to the following:

The world is well aware that during the prosperous Khmer Empire, the Khmer kings built thousands of temples including Phimai and Phnom Rung. Claiming that Phimai was the birthplace of a number of Khmer kings is a groundless affirmation.

Regarding Tamone Thom and Tamone Touch temples, according to the Minutes on the Demarcation N22, on Sector 4 (Le Proces Verbal d'abornement N22 sur Secteur 4) dated December 30, 1908, of the Commissions of the Delimitation of Frontiers between Indochina and Siam, and the Topographic Plate Indications of the boundary pillar N23 in that region, these two temples are clearly situated within the territory of Cambodia.

The bandit as well as aggressor of Thai aware of that fully well but they still ignore those condemnations. That is because theft will be theft all along. Shame on them.
