Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva yesterday dismissed suggestions he was trying to sabotage Cambodia's desire to live up to its obligations as agreed with Unesco following the granting of World Heritage status to historic Preah Vihear Temple.
Abhisit on Wednesday told reporters he would ask Unesco, which administers the temple under Cambodian supervision, to launch a review into the administration of the ancient site, because he wanted peace to prevail in the area first.
The disputed area has seen a military stand-off and gunfights between the two sides over the past year.
"My intention is not to upset the people of Cambodia, but rather to see peace in the area," Abhisit said.
He said he had no objection to working with the Cambodians to develop the historic site under Unesco guidance but suggested military tensions must first be alleviated and that a comfort level between the two sides must first be achieved before Thailand could contribute to the effort.
Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen on Thursday expressed "deep regret" over Abhisit's suggestions.
"I deeply regret that he has raised this issue now, because this was not part of our discussions last week," he told reporters at the Cambodian Foreign Ministry. "I doubt his plan will be successful."

Our Khmer Preah Vihear Temple was famous than before because of Thai arrogants claimed; thus we had to rebuilt the infrastructure to attract tourist around the world.

Dear Mr. Abhisit,
It is ridiculous that such in the powerful position as the PM of a country, you dare to try to claim a share of ownership with Cambodia on Preah Vihear. Please answer these questions, Mr. Abhisit:
1. Does Preah Vihear belong to Thailand?
2. Who has the rights to register Preah Vihear as the world heritage?
3. Did the UNESCO NOTY know anything about who is the owner oh Preah Vihear?
4. How many state members voted for Preah Vihear Registration and stated this world heritage in the territory of Cambodia?
5. Do you think the UNESCO did not have any thorough study on the site before deciding to register Preah Vihear as the world heritage?
6. Do you have a real degree from Oxford?
7. Have you ever had a mental problem?
8. How did you manage to become the PM of Thailand?
If registering Preah Vihear as the world heritage involves the regional peace and stability, why don't you cry for any other registered heritages such as Pyramids in Egypt, the Great Wall of China, or Taj Mahal in India? I advise you to do the following so that you can claim some more world heritages from other countries. You, Mr. Aphasit should send some troops to fight Egypt, China or India and cry out to UNESCO that the fighting breaks out and there is no peace in the region and the world, so you ask the UNSESCO to reconsider the registration of Pyramids, Great wall, and Taj Mahal. It could be possible you may get one for your country interest.
Oh My God! Mr. Abhisit.! Please go to school again.
These days, the sins Thais have committed for along time against the Cambodians have splashed back to all stupid Thais. These are Buddhist curses:
1. The stupid Thai leaders became greedily unaware of the international laws and agreements/MOU
2. Tsunami has hit this Country.
3. In the southern part of Thailand the Muslim people stand up for their freedom and independence.
4. Thailand is known only for sex industry esp. in Pattaya.
5. Thailand tries to be hostile with all neighbors such as Myanmar (badly treating Burmese ethnics), Laos (fierce fighting in the 1980s), Malaysia (alleging Malaysia for supporting the Muslim rebel, and Cambodia (trying to claim Cambodia-owned Preah Vihear)
6. The bloody hatred between the Yellow-shirt and the red shirt supports in the BKK.
7. The crazy yellow shirt demonstration leader (who said during the demonstration that occupying the international airport in BKKwas fun?!?...) became the Minister of FA.
9. The country leaders usually come to power through the coups or street demonstrations.
10. The country has the most cases of H1N1 (about more than 500) in ASEAN region.
Thailand claims as a Buddhist country but disregards the Buddha teaching: Avoiding cheating people, avoiding telling lies, avoiding greed, and showing sympathy…..
May Buddha bless Cambodia!
May Buddha help Thailand turn as humans!
Cambodia
Mr. Abhisit,
The greedier you are, the more dangers you will encounter. You remember, you were almost killed in a plane clash in Cambodia. That was why you delayed your trip for five hours back to your country. Your plane has a technical error!!
Another thing you must remember too is that about three or four weeks ago, your FA Minister Kasit was almost killed by a lightning strike in Koh Kong when he was trying to come to take the road to PP. Another Person who was almost shot dead in BKK a month ago was Sondhi who unusually shows unreasonable hatred to Cambodians. Take Care, Mr. Abhisit!!
HBO, Cambodia
This is politics and power. Abhisit judged Hun sen a one eyed bandit with no guts therefore he took this position.that is why Kasit called him a bandit.
Had the one eyed hyena taken strong actions this might not have happened with the thais occupying our territories.
Instead the one eyed hyena had the "manly courage" to insult a woman member of parliament and lifting her parliamentary immunity.
It is what we call a small time coward dictator.
Well, Don't blame me for I am of course the son of a slut, adulteress, fornicatress, hussy, jade, and loose woman Viet...
Let it be known that I have a mission here and that is to destroy KI-Media for the benefit and welfare of the CPP new Viet-khmer people under the leadership of Hun Sen, got that?
PPU
This young man we Khmer must keep eyes in vigilent, I my self hard to understand how he got Oxford U decree by constantly perverse, ignoring all the facts. Is he astute? not to me, lets have a reality check how he became priminister? Is he respect democracy? DEMOCRAZY YES! this young man is very dangerous mentally we have to face off nortern border nowadays. He has been sent down from one eye big thieve of Siamese to lead the military southward ivading our country. This young man we need to stop him any by means. He is a man disturbing neibhough souvreinity, he is who define the word decisions, he is a mam who abbious democracy, and he is the man who responsible lost of Cambodian lives and the properties.
Down to Abhishit!!!
Aphiseth, the Thais reacted to the listing after UNESCO adde Preah Vihear to world heritage list. You started sending your armed men to give troubles, but now you said there should be peace first before any listing?
Do siamese mothers teach their children to lie and behave like a greedy bully? I hope not.
It's to late now. It's time to figh with Siam.
I had thais good friend, but with this shit going on, i'm not talking to them anymore. They 're all butllshiter.
Doesn't it make you sick knowing that those thais keep dragging this issue over and over? Yes, Abhisit, you really are making people sick.
What he is doing is favoring million of his brainwashed and thieving Thais. That way, he can stay in power longer. Like he said before, he will do whatever to hold power longer than the previous PMs. Down Abhishit!!!
I can play with myself while trashing all of you cockroaches at the same time, it's that easy because I got a Ph.D from Hanoi.
PPU
look abishit, whether your intention was not to upset khmer people or not, the fact is, it did. your remark got on khmer people's nerves already, live up to it! and stop making wishful thinking with dreaming. you people believe in the cause and affect or karma? because your own action will come back to bite you from behind sooner or later. what goes around comes around! may another natural catastrophe like tsunami, earthquake, lightning, etc bring destruction to your people and country! so cambodia can reclaim all of our former provinces and lands back. go back you yunan province of china already. you people are living on khmer ancestral lands!
12:19 is not PPU. He's pretending to be PPU.
