The Defence Ministry plans a strongly-worded protest over a Cambodian patrol entering a disputed maritime area near Koh Kut in Trat province, a source says.
The protest will be lodged through the Foreign Ministry.
Two Cambodian warships were seen patrolling in the disputed area last week.
The patrol was in breach of an agreement on disputed and overlapping areas which requires the two countries to inform the other of any plans for a patrol and for the patrol to be a joint operation.
The source said the Cambodian patrol was probably in response to the Thai navy's move to set up a new base on Koh Kut to reinforce its patrol missions following a report that Cambodia had allowed a French oil company to carry out surveys in the disputed area.
Meanwhile, the navy has apologised to Cambodia after a patrol plane strayed into Cambodian airspace.
The Phnom Penh Post yesterday cited Cambodian general Bun Seng as saying the commander of the Chanthaburi-Trat airbase had written that the incident was due to bad weather affecting the aircraft's navigation system."We accepted the letter of apology by the Thai military but we have warned Thailand's airbase that we will not take responsibility for a second repeated airspace violation," Gen Bun Seng said.
Navy spokesman Prachachart Srisawat said it was not unusual for planes from Thailand and Cambodia to accidentally cross over into each other's territory.

How is that relevant to this news? Is making fun of a guy's disability your way of feeling superior? Well, you succeed in looking tough now. Do you make fun of crippled and mental ill people as well, ah stupid idiots?
how stupid can you be? this is politics, you can't even understand the logics!
do you want to lick my golden door?

We had a treaty with French Protectorat, up until today still valid, we need to review it, for the purpose to protect our territories from thiefs.

I wonder what kind of WarShip cambodia has? wooden fishing canoe or banana tree?
Laos has no warship at all but they managed to kick Thailand's ass in their last border conflict.
oh, palease!!!!! There wasn't any country called Lao since the 70's! It is only the name and a little map on the globe. But in reality has been Yuon's.
Khmer only has gunner boats that out of date from China...Khmer got no fucken warship?
It is true that Vietnam has given support to both Laos and Cambodia.
I believe Vietnam and Cambodia together would completely kick Thailand's ass on land, on sea and in the air.
Anyway, it appears that France is backing up Cambodia and France has a long history of keeping Thailand in its place so no big problem.
Thailand always creates territorial disputes with its neighboring countries. It is the chronic culture of Thai people. People can change their habit, nothing can change the culture.
Let's be prepared to smash Thai troops as we did in Preah Vihear! Thai armies are good at show off their uniforms and warfare, but they are hopeless when facing with resistance of tough fighters!
There are no overlapping areas. These are the creations of the pirates Siem.

A smart and educated person won't call others stupid or idiot . only the stupid ones do that ... that makes you one of them .
I love our country but I don't really care about whats going on along the Thai Cambodian border as long as Hun Sen is still sitting there on top yelling intimidating innocent people .
See what had happened! I was saying this before. If Cambodia let them have joint patrol soon or later they will just claim as their.
This is Thai's trick!!

Why don't you do some research, idiot? Only your family ride the
wooden fishing canoe or banana tree to America.
Remember last time, I was telling the public for not to accept the Thai to have joint-patrol because they will said that is belong to them.
Now it is true in return they don't want Cambodian to joint this patrol.
Shame on us!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway, Laos is being blended in with Vietnam long age ago.
There is no more LAOS in term of political situation. Laos has been vietnamization since 1975. All of those LAOS(YOUN) leaders spoken fluent and Vietnam LAOS and rename to LOAS to control LAOS. If HUN SEN doesn't want to wake up Cambodia will follow LAOS foot's step.
I hope HUN SEN wake up and have some sort of national conscience. He is betrayal of our country. Like Mr. Pen Sovann said, HUN SEN is YOUN's dog.
At least I'd say Cambodia is still way better than LAOS!!
