Dear All,
Please pay close attention to the beginning of Part 4 in which Mr. Charnvit Kasetsiri indicated that Siamese Prince Damrong accepted the fact that Preah Vihear temple belong to French Indochina, i.e. Cambodia. Furthermore, Prince Damrong had to ask the authorization from the French authority before crossing the border.

The Khmer temple of Preah Vihear and its surrounding land belong SOLELY to Cambodia as per ICJ verdict rendered in 1962. Period
There's no overlapping area to talk about. End of discussions.
Thai people must look back and don't twist the history, you should know the fact where you originaly came from. All temples in Thailand built by Khmer, Khmer lost a lot of territories to Thailand. Thai took Siem Reap and Battambang where Cambodia territory and then claimed to be your land, Thailand, later on Khmer took back and Thai cliamed that thailand lost territory of Battambang and Siem Reap to Khmer. And now, you're telling to Thai people to forget the past. It's okay to forget the past, but you, Thailand must know the fact that you are actually took Khmer land, looted Khmer treasurs and copied all Khmer culutres, traditions etc. We, Khmer know the fact regarding the history of Cambodia and South East Asia, we were first Khmer empire, Khmer Kingdom ruled which is present day Thailand and Loas.
Do you understand Khun Thai?
Ittiporn Left out so many historyical facts about the origin of Siamese? He told less than 1% facts, still trying to hidden the Truth from the world. He hid behind his PhD by fooling the world who who's the Siamese ancestry is!
To Professor Charnvit Kasetsiri,
It is great that your wish is to teach Thai people abit of your history, but you need to speak and teach the truth to your people and not making up lies. You need to understand why Japan surrendered to US unconditionally during WWII. And certainly, you know why Thailand was never colonized by Japan. I dont have to enlighten you on this subject. You as a professor should know why Thailand sided with Japan. In short, you and your Thai leadership or government are a bunch of opportunists and a coward afraid to sacrifice your life in order to defend your country with blood, but decided to sided with enemy. If you understand what the 1954 Geneva Conference is all about, then I suggest to you now once and for all to shut your mouth and stop your filthy useless lecture to a bunch of lost souls. You, Professor is making Thailand look bad on the International Stage. You can never hide the truth as in Old Khmer Proverb saying, " You cannot hide a dead and rotten elephant behind a basket." Soon the truth will reveal itself, and when it does, you have to take your own life because of the embarrassment. ICJ judges have access to those information presented by each party before the court is adjourned. Your country has not proven to the ICJ with anything new, therefore, you should just tell the truth. And Preah Vihear will remain to be Preah Vihear until the end of time, even you, Professor cannot change the course of history.
Thank you.

preah vihear should be discuss internationally, not just with the siem thugs, ok! we all know siem thugs' intention and illegal ambition already!
This issue should go on public, with witness using historical documents, expert from both countries and a third media who are also an expert on southeast asia.
claims should recognizes by three source. NOt just the thailand side!
now i can figue out why ah samie side with japaness? because if they fight with japanes like combodia they will lost their land back to combodia and they have nothing to hold on so they must go back to china mountain and live like Hmong in Loa. Loa they still claim that they are come from khmer, ah PhD of thai talk a lie he said thai will claim they lost teritory. i think if they do they might lost it to thai but loa clain that they come form khmer.
Agree with 4:20am!
Prof. Charnvit Kasetsiri represents the truth for the Cambodian people. He is a good man. He clearly states that Preah Vihear Temple belongs to French IndoChina.
Borders created by colonial powers are a recurrent problem around the world. Look at South America, Africa, Eastern Europe etc.
We must also ask ourselves why the French colonized Cambodia. It was because the king at that time feared that he would lose territory to the neighbouring countries, so essentially he agreed to French protection. The French then set the borders. The Thais agreed because they weren't about to stand up to a colonial power, in a similar way to the Cambodians not being willing to stand up to the Thais and Vietnamese.
Therefore, the border question is not new. Neither was it resolved in the 1960s. The issue is perennial and will always be a thorn in the side of Thai-Cambodian relations.
