A high ranking RCAF commander based near the Preah Vihear temple area indicated that, recently, Thai army commanders asked their Cambodian counterpart for joint patrol along a number of border areas that are illegally occupied by Thai soldiers.
On Monday 20 July, General Ek Dara, the RCAF commander along the regions illegally occupied by Thai soldiers, said that during the recent meeting held between RCAF commanders and Thai Suranaree Batallion No. 6, Thailand requested for joint patrol between Khmer and Thai soldiers in the areas where Thai soldiers illegally occupied near Preah Vihear temple, from Ta Sim pass all the way to the Chak Chreng hill.
General Ek Dara also said that RCAF commanders in the region accepted the Thai request, but under one condition: the joint patrol will not cross into Thai territory, nor will it cross into Cambodian territory, i.e. the joint patrol can only take place in the mid-zone, and no definite areas of joint patrol have been set yet.
General Ek Dara said: “We are waiting to see the limitation of the patrol, where it will take place, from where to where, but we did not receive a reply yet…”
Nevertheless, as of Monday, no Thai commanders can be reached to explain this situation.
The border dispute between Cambodia and Thailand, next to the Preah Vihear temple, took place when Thailand sent in several hundreds of their soldiers to the Wat Keo Sekha Kiri Svarak Pagoda on 15 July 2008. Through diplomatic channels, Cambodian officials attempted hard to find a resolution through multiple negotiation meetings with Thailand, however, no good resolution came out of these meetings up to now.
Var Kim Hong, the chairman of the Cambodian committee for border resolution, said that, up to now, Khmer-Thai officials have no plan to negotiate the border dispute with Thailand anymore, because Cambodia is waiting for Thailand’s conformation: “Up to now, these’s nothing yet, we are waiting for the Thai confirmation.”
Since Thailand sent its troop to the Wat Keo Sekha Kiri Svarak Pagoda on 15 July 2008 and up to now (20 July 2009), one year and five days already took place. During that time, three armed clashes too place and soldiers from both sides sustained injuries and deaths.

Don't trust Thai at all. They are the most hated nation.
Enemy can never be walking hand in hand; also, joint patrol is a horrible idea. A different approach and solution to the situation is required to ensure that these Thai soldiers are not encroaching in our territory. Our sovereignty in Preah Vihear is indisputable and it must be respected.

Why would Thailand wants to help patrol Khmers’ land? Aren't Thailand “the land of thief”? LOL….
No, thanks. Why don’t you Thai go help your comrades in the south.
"khmer oversea"
Thai you will not able to disrupt the relationship between Khmers from Cambodia and Khmer from Surin and Sisaketh.
Do not let them join the patrol. If RCAF let them join soon or later they will say that agreement belong to them.
This is the Thai's trick.
DO NOT LET THEM HAVE JOIN PATROL!!!!
I wouldn't recommend this idea to RCAF. This is very dangerous move. Thailand already have the urge of claiming what's not belong to them. Now they consider of joining patrol?? This is a bad idea if Khmer don't think twice.
Beware of Thai's trick. We have this lesson happened to us already in Khmer Krom. Remember during the king of Chey Chetha or Ang Doung?? The YOUN have asked the Khmer king to have YOUN settle or training to fight the Gia Long and at the end they poured in more and more YOUN into Srok Khmer and took Khmer Krom and Prey Norkor (Saigon, HCM City today).
Please watch out!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, we KHMER should learn our sour lessons. We have not forgotten those day yet. Don't let this thing happens again. Need to be more careful. HUN SEN only barking or what? Where is the theory of his that if Thai army steps in on Cambodian just one centimeter he will shoot. Where is this?
Geez...when are these Thai thieves going to stop crying???
cambodia don't like to play on the side of the enemy. they shot my ancestors, and my ancestors shot them. sorry, we don't reconcile with siem thugs!
Please watch out ! Chor Siams are still Chor Siams . We cannot make friend with Siam Theives. Those Theives want to steal Preach Vihear Temple from us. We have to learn a painful lesson that we have been robbed by Chor Siams for 500 years. This request from ah Chor Siams doesn't make sense to me all.
From Khmer Straik
I fell headache when i see Khmer is used by Siem again and again.
That is our territory, why we agree with siem request to join the petrol?
We have to deeply consider the aftermath of the agreement....
This is fucken stupid dumbass idea to allow them thieft jointed patrol in your own home! what's a dumbass idea to agree with Thai-thieft....very stupid Khmer leaders!!! i would say fuck off! and get lost!
Dumb! and bad idea!
Khmer leaders never stop showing weakness to the Foe! kept bows down and let them step on your back again and again! so sicken tired of khmer playing soft and kissing their ass....stupid fuck!

There should be no negociation or joining patrol with Thais Bandits on our territories. Take them to IJC to prevent clash, save monies, lifes.
New Phally
Those khmer army leaders also stubborn....
If Khmer showing their toughness, i think Thailand will back down, but the problem we are too straight and showing our weakness toward them!
That is why khmer had lost so much from the past, because we're weak and soft!
