With reference to Cambodian Ambassador You Ay's letter ("From Cambodia with clarity," Post bag, Oct 13), the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs wishes to state for the record a couple of pertinent points as follows:
1. The issue of the temple of Phra Viharn is a complicated one with a history going back a long time. The situation, however, worsened following its inscription on the World Heritage List in 2008, despite unresolved negotiations on the encroachment of the land boundary in the area adjacent to the temple.
Thailand did not initiate the problem, nor did it try to exploit extreme nationalist sentiment in order to make political gains. (sic!)
2. As for the allegation that Thai troops caused the destruction of the Cambodian market and the Cambodian side demanded compensation for the affected people, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has already officially informed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of Cambodia by a diplomatic note dated Aug 10, 2009, clarifying that the said incidents were triggered by Cambodian soldiers' assault on Thai troops, forcing the latter to take defensive action and leading to the exchange of fire between the soldiers of both sides. The Ministry wishes to reiterate that the whole incident took place at the market and Cambodian community in the area adjacent to the temple of Phra Viharn, which are situated within the territory of Thailand.
I hope this letter will help promote a better understanding of this delicate issue.

it help to learn to think, really for yourself! remember that!
I just want to know whether the firing of Thai troops on civilian market could violate international humanitaria law. Why Thai soldiers focused on cilivian areas?
and.
"The Ministry wishes to reiterate that the whole incident took place at the market and Cambodian community in the area adjacent to the temple of Phra Viharn, which are situated within the territory of Thailand."
This sentence should be added "Based on the map drawn by Thailand."
Yes, Siam is right
The overlapping area exists and extends all the way to Myanmar border.
The Siamese talked about the temple of Phra Viharn. Where is it located ? may be in Nan Chao. And what does it look like ?
good think, good life, good man. No conflict.
Siamese are really smart.
Good job thai.
It is about time that we know for sure about this thai game over their so-called border dispute around temple Pheah Vihear. What the thai claim will never be acceptable, not just us, but other nationals also, because they use their map dwan unilaterally by them based on their dream. Please, our leaders, don't fall into their game again, by excepting their appear for not bringing the border dispute beyond bilaterial level. Waste no more time with them, just do what is right to end this non-sense game created by these stealers. And that is to counter their unilateral claim through internationally acceptable basis.
France's map is a right map. course my father France draw for us.
To Mad Siamese
Please All Siamese people go to school and study about Khmer History and Thai History again!! or you can search Internet
Siamese are kind of mad dog or crocodile
Ah Siems don't be stupid ok.
this is laughable.....the thais always have some none sense to say.
That's right! Siam min Choal Kboun, Youn min Choal Put! Siamese and Youns are the same....
Thailand initiated the disputes by invading the P.Vihear areas on 15 July 2008.
No, the market was not located in Thai territory, it was located inside Khmer territory under 1907 treaty and 1908 map, agreed and signed by Thai king.
The 1907 treaty and 1908 map put P.Vihear and the surrounding areas inside Khmer territory and the International Court in 1962 also decided that P.Vihear temple and the surrounding areas are located inside Khmer territory.
Siem min choal kbuon ah Youn min choal lbech....ah mei Dek Nom Khmer lngeu lnget....(ah kwack) chanh bouk ah youn......burn in hell mei You Arch...euy!!!!
ALL YOU FUCKING SIEM ARE FUCKING RETARDED.....LOL WHERE THE FUCK DO YOU GUYS GO TO SCHOOL AT ....I KNOW YOUNG SPECIAL ED F.O.B. KIDS THAT ARE SMARTER THEN ALL OF AH THAILAND................YOU STUPID SIEMS ARE A BIG FUCKING JOKE....THE MORE AND MORE I SEE THIS KIND OF SHIT FROM THE THAIS, THE MORE I LAUGH BECAUSE IT SHOWS HOW STUPID THAILAND REALLY IS......THAILAND WHAT A BUNCH OF STUPID FUCKS!!!.
FUCK THAILAND
Siamese are confused about their identity. Now they claim that they are really from the "Altai" mountains in Mongolia! Maybe they should erect a replica of "Prasat Phra Viharn" over there, on the summit of the "Altai" mountain!
It's time that the Thai government should bring back the ashes of Sarit Thanarat and Plaek Pibulsonggram (The two culprits of Phra Viharn case) back to the "Altai" mountain. So that their spirits be united with their "Tai" ancestors in that region!
Samdech Hun Sen should open fire on Bangkok markets...the entire Thailand is in "overlapping areas."
Ommm.
Sorya Chantra Apimohakotara Pok Kbal manut lok.
They like to figthing together when they have power.
(We can learn from Khmer history from Khmer empire until present news in this website)(No Choal from neigbor country that are real things why Khmer empire were fall)
They like the baby to ask some stronger to help everything and please help us forever. They promise they can give many things that you want.(That a good guy)
(That in the case of Khmer lost Battambang and SiemReap to Siem more than 100 years and lost Kampuchea Krom to Yuan until now)
They blame to all partners when they success somethings. They can forgot absulutely in many co-ordination in the past.
Jayo Jayo Jayo Khmer!!!!!!
THE LAW IS ON CAMBODIA'S FAVOR...THERE IS NO NEED TO NEGOTIATE BILATERALLY (WHICH THE THAIS KNOW VERY AND HAVE BEEN STALLING). THIS IS WHY SURIN PITSUWAN OF THAILAND DOES NOT CAMBODIA TO BRING PREAH VIHEAR ISSUE FOR DISCUSSION AT ASEAN SUMMIT.
THERE IS NO NEED TO WASTE TIME. EVEN A KID CAN TELL THAT THE ROYAL GOVERNMENT OF CAMBODIA NEEDS TO GO TO THE UN SECURITY COUNCIL FOR INTERVENTION...OR BETTER YET THE WORLD COURT.
ใครก็รู้ว่ากฎหมายอยู่ในมือฝ่ายกัมพูชา...ไทยนี่แหละเสียเปรียบเขมร...พวก"เสียม"ไม่ต้องมาเห่าให้เสียเวลา! รัฐบาลกัมพูชาต้องฟ้องศาลโลกและองค์การสหประชาชาติทันที!
I believe only 1% of this statement.
Thailand did not initiate the problem according to AH THANI THONGPHAKDI?
Now if the Siem bastard did not start the conflict first and who the fuck send Siem military to Cambodian border in the first place? Tell me who? If the fucken Siem government did not send their military to Cambodian border and who the fuck send them to attack Cambodian people living along Cambodian border?
Oh well! AH THANI THONGPHAKDI is speaking from his arse again!
