๔๘ ปีหลังจากคดีศาลโลก, ความสัมพันธ์รัก-เกลียดระหว่าง เขมร-ไทย
Forty-eight years after the International Court of Justice rendered its decision regarding Preah Vihear Temple on June 15, 1962, Thailand continues to blindly disobey the world court's decision. The dispute was started when Field Marshal Sarit of Thailand ordered troops to occupy Preah Vihear temple and the adjacent areas some 50 years after the temple became under Cambodia's sovereignty under Franco-Siamese treaty of 1904-07. Preah Vihear is considered sacred to the Khmers, second only to Angkor Wat because of its unsual breathtaking site on top of cliff. The ongoing conflict is a political pawn used by the Abhisit government to stir Thai nationalism in order to secure his undemocratic PM seat. The same repeating situation has now passed on to other Khmer temples of Prasat Ta Moan and Ta Krabey, with Thai troops illegally occupying Khmer Temples. If necessary, Cambodia may have to go back to the world court once again over these temples. Instead of focussing on its internal problems and fostering good neighbourly friendship, the Thaigovernment choses a dangerous hostile path with its neighbours. It fought a brief border dispute war with Laos back in 1987-88 and now with Cambodia. How can such a country expects others to respect and obey it's own law and be in good terms whenThailand itself does not even respect international law and continues to be arrogant and uncivilized toward its neighbours.
The ICJ decision of 1962 was clear in black and white. The Thai government may be able to fool its citizen regarding the verdict, but it can never fool the world. Let's review the decision once again:
"In its Judgment on the merits the Court, by nine votes to three, found that the Temple of Preah Vihear was situated in territory under the sovereignty of Cambodia and, in consequence, that Thailand was under an obligation to withdraw any military or police forces, or other guards or keepers, stationed by her at the Temple, or in its vicinity on Cambodian territory."
For over eight hundred years, Thailand has an immense awe and insatiable appetite for anything Khmer. Over 40% of its current language contains Khmer words, as seen in common terms like (walk-เดิน, birth-กำเนิด, nose-จมูก, grandny-ยาย, comrade-สหาย, music-เพลง, soldier-ทหาร, road-ถนน, etc.). Its culture is a mirror image of Khmer. Many Thai Kings and Queens over hundreds of years had Khmer blood, not to mention its people, especially those in the north-eastern provinces. The inventor of the Thai writing system was King Ram Kamhaeng (1239-1298). He was a at least half Khmer. He devised 44 Thai scripts based on lower case Khmer alphabets. The Thai numerals are identical to Khmer. The royal traditions and royal language between the two kingdoms are almost identical. An interesting note to this is that Princess Bejaratana Rajasuda, 84, (the only daughter of His Majesty King Vajiravudh, Rama VI) is first cousin of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej and third cousin with former King Norodom Sihanouk. Khuang Abhaiwong who was of Khmer descent served three terms as Thai prime minister (1944–45, 1946, 1947–48). The relationship ofThailand and Cambodia is very unique. One can say that it is a love/hate relationship. With so much similarity like kinship, it would be nice if we all can live in fraternal peace and harmony. The recent Thaksin appointment as an advisor to the royalgovernment of Cambodia should be a symbolic solidarity of friendship between the two countries, and should not be regarded as negative thing as publicized by the Abhisitgovernment . It was not something new that Cambodia had appointed foreign advisors. Lee Myung-Bak was also an economic advisor of Cambodia before he was elected president of South Korea. Thaksin had mentioned that if Cambodia is more prosperous, wouldn't it be also good for Thai exported goods? And this would be a step toward the ASEAN Economic Community of 2015. With all said, maybe Mr. Abhisit should consider cooling off and withdraw all troops from Khmer territory per ICJ verdict of 1962 before the war of words get out of hand and burst into a full-scale war. Ignorance of the law and greediness are not the way to go if we are to live in peace and prosperity for many generations to come.

Let the justice talks. At least there are still people who have some honesty to stand the truth
damn animal culture
damn animal empire
damn culture of killing, killing as motor to expand one race and territory like simple animal
damn the culture considering art of animosity and killing as motor of superiority and intelligence of one's race
Khmer Surin,
My hat off to you for writing such a true historical piece. At least there are some Khmer Surin like you who are true to your Khmer blood who are not fooled by the Thai lies about historical relationships between Cambodia and Thailand.
You made excellent remarks that are appropriate and consistent to the facts and history.Thailand couldn't deny or foul khmer around.At least International court recognized.
I am Khmer and I can speak Ah Thai language, but Ah Thai cannot speak and understand Khmer language. Also, Khmer Surin, you are formerly Khmer blood lines. All Khmer (Cambodian) if you ever want to learn Thai, it's easy because Thai language is Khmer languages Thai had copied it.
Long sentence I won't read it. Thanks

Interesting article. However, Khmer have never HATED the Thais at all. In fact, we admire them very much. Everyone knows that Khmer people adore the Thai "things" in all their aspects. However, it is always the Thais who continue to throw the first blood by killing the Khmer people repeatedly. So how can we continue to tolerate the Thais when they continue to hate us and kill us and refuse to stop their advancement against the remaining territory of the Khmer Empire. How much more do you still want from the Khmer people? Wasn't Thailand the land carved out from the Khmer territory already enough for the Thais yet? In addition, under Thai protectorate, Cambodia saw the invasion of the Viets from the East Side of the country resulting the loss of the huge chunk of Kampuchea Krom. So how much more damages and humiliation do the Thais want to inflict on the Khmer people?????????????
I do HATE the real siems from Nan Chow, not the Khmer people from occupied provinces(Surin, Buriram,..)
Very well said..but let's email this to The Nation and the Bangkok Post so that they know as well that it was a Khmer Sorin who wrote this article and slap them with it to show how ignorant and pathetic Siem people are towards their Khmer brothers and sisters. Long Live Khmer Kingdom!! Google or search the "Khmu" people, I thought it was very interesting relating to our Mon-Khmer people. Jayo Kampuchea!!
Once, this Siamese nation is going to be destoyed by its naighbours because they have not been building the honest relationship with. They have been acting like thieves and robbers and the killers of Khmer, Laotian and Burmese and the muslim people in the south. Their nation exists because the attitude of robbery of both land and culture of Khmer. The worl should understand this. Like the currently called Thai Boxing, if the older generation could remembers they always been defeated by Khmer boxer in the 1970's. This I do not recall the Khmer sculture on Angkor Wat wall about khmer boxing. Why it is called Thai Boxing? It is very shameful for Thais.
The wold should learn more in depth on this is called "land of smile" or you can call "land of the robbers".
Defeated Thais!
Once, Khmer Surin, Buriram, Sisaket, Nokor Reach Sima and other provinces should koint hand and put down the Siamese Thieves. They are afraid that Cambodia be developed because they learnt about thier southern provinces border to Malaysia now and may be Laos in the north eastern provinces. If all these nations re-united what the remaind for the Siamese? They may move back to the origin in south China. That would be great, wouldn't it?
It is important that if we preach other to respect us, that we do the very act we wish for others return.
We cannot ask or demand respect with insults and derisive and diminutive look-downs. Thailand is a nation, Kampuchea is a nation, both independent sovereign but the politic of nations should not be spilled over to affect the people and culture that exist in it.
We have to remember, that before Thailand, before Kampuchea, we are all citizens of Earth. We have a commonality much more deeply rooted then superficial thoughts can imagine, because we are survived of the same air, under the same sky, and awed by the same moon we are naturally the same creation.
My Khmer brothers and sisters, this is my message. Anger in Thailand should not push you to be anger at Thai or a fellow human being as at the common denominator we are all the same.
Do onto others, think onto others, say onto others, and reflect it so onto yourselves.
I know that Khmer people are loving and compassionate, mature people. And I know that we can show our responsibility in the world community as well as on the any venues where we represent our voice our cultural opinions.
I hope that some outrageous opinions are only random burst of excitement that these are not reflective of the true overall Khmer mentality and tolerance.
To my Siem or Thai friends, I welcome dialog and friendship between our people and I am glad that you share a love many things Khmer. I too share your love of Khmer architecture, stones and language, and I love the way you refine it to your taste. So as the Khmer adapted and refine the arts and religion of Motherland India to its own unique taste, so did too Thai of the things it borrowed Khmer to its own unique reflection of Thainess.

"Land of Smiles" is a Cambodian theme but as always, the Thais copied and stole it again. The same thing with "Kun Khmer and "Bokator", the Siem claim that it started in Thailand which personally I think is absurd. And yes, the Thais are human beings but if they want peace then THEY need to act mature and respect international law. Thais are a nation of "thieves" just like the Viets and never to be trusted. As Cambodia is getting better and known to the world, the Thais do not want to see that and will try to do everything in their power to keep us down which I think will not happen because we were an empire before and will always conquer.
"Land of Smiles" is a Cambodian theme? That is pure speculation, and "Land of Smiles" is a universal theme aspiration of any people so no one can say it is copy righted. And calling Thailand, "Land of thieves" offends every common Thai. It takes two people to create a problem and two to perpetuate it.
This can go on, and it will always be "They" wronged us, no matter who you asked. And "They should first" mature etc. But what about ourself? What are you doing to mature ourselves? To prepare for a time or allow for the possibility of reconciliation?
Please take deep reflection on the problems and ask yourselves a solution, not a simple-minded response. This world is too complicated to be simplify down to villian vs victim, light vs dark, them vs us.
Think, friends and feel with your heart.
this short essay by khmerization summarized all the important aspects of the real picture of thailand.
Congratulations Mr. Khmer Surin. We all Khmer living in Kingdom of Cambodia are so proud of you.
CK
the difference between khmer adopted from india and siem adopted from khmer is that khmer don't continue to steal and violate international on india, like thailand and its siem pad thugs did to cambodia, really. so, how stupid to compare like that! khmer respect international law, while siem pad thugs kept saying they don't agree with international law, etc... how stupid and ignore they are to still living in the dark ages! bad karma will stay with thailand and their siem pad thugs, if they continue to make trouble with cambodia! nothing last forever, you know!
only law and enforcement of it will last forever!
Cambodia Town
Long beach, Ca
We Cambodian- American had eligible to vote for almost 300000 voices, in long Beach, Ca
nearly 55000 voices. Remember, in U.S constitution, it was written the government of people. We had many more Cambodian- American had worked for the government, there were a cute advantage for us to take those opportunities to protect our motherland. Thus, several hundred thousands of our compatriots had became naturalization in different countries such as Franch, Canada, Australy, England etc. There were a tremendous diplamacies support.
New Phally
I love you, Khmer Surin!
Khmer Surin can you urge all khmer compatriots that lives in Siem to rise up. So we can get our lost land back from the theft Siem.
What I can say is Thais should be as smart as Viets. To annex Khmer motherland, youns has installed VN-loving-and-thanking Khmer leaders-The Current Trio, let their citizens into Khmer kingdom live everywhere, kept encroaching Khmer borders, and terrorized Khmer Kampuchea Krom who has fought for their freedom of living, culture, education, and religion. Historically VN has vietnamized Champa successfully and finally Khmer sooner or later. The annexation of Khmer is evidently inevitable because VN has support of the less-educated- leaders who think they are the great Khmer leaders, and citizens work in govt posts and live with superiority everywhere in the Kingdom of nonsense King. Unless Thais do not change their tactics they will lose the game of expansionism to Viets. KhOpen,
Khmer, who you are and where you live under the Royal Cambodian Constitution, you are Khmer citizen.
included HRH the today King of Thailand with 1/2 Khmer blood.
I can't believe how can a person with very good knowledge can compare the adaptation of Khmer from India to that of Thailand from Khmer. F*** off. I know you are peace maker, but pls accept the truth that when we talk about history and tricks of Thai pp, it doesn't mean we want war. But we are trying to escape from tricks and traps...You are gorgeous..keep posting peacemaker..i like most parts of your comment....

hahahahahahahahaha !
Why and when Khmer people who live in Kanphuchea thinks many negative things from neigbor country???!!!
Waste time to thinking like that. For Thai people until now we have many choice to learn our history many things to compare with neigboring litterature. Also many letters from Chen and Barang. For Thailand the name "Siam" was used from neigbor country mainly from Chen many letter for connection between Thai King and many country in Europe in Ayuthaya period use "Muang Thai" for call our country. Thai people is the mixture resolution from many ethnic groups in Suvannaphumi and South China region including Mon-Khmer and I also surely in Kamphuchea is the same condition(Chen Jarai Siem Leaw Yuan etc.). Joking for me for pro-nationality "pure Thai, great Thai also Pure Khmer or great Khamphuchea Norkor". Please think we are not "Sat Kho or Sat Kro Brei" for political people rear in their farm. We should learn more from historic "Smai Khmer Krohom" Khmer kill Khmer more than million many of Thai political people learn more tractics or copies from that and rebuit devil era of Leong shirt and Krohom shirt in Thailand.
i know, siem can't fool the cambodia and the world anymore. they have reached their limit by now! siems are fake people! i don't they really have their own identity. everything you see in thailand is khmer origin in many way, really! no wonder they claim cambodia belongs to them! maybe they all start start speaking in khmer if that going to happen! why don't they speak khmer again! they shouldn't be ashame of speaking khmer; it was their official language at one time! must they forget so soon!
siem return to khmer background, ok!khmer be one! youn too be with khmer for one, ok! don't be ashame of khmer, be loved, ok!
cambodia must move away from stone age mentality for a change. we have to look into the future, a scientific future of thinking, really!
why siem ashame to be khmer when they adapted many of khmer idea, invention, culture, tradition, mentality, etc...!
please all the khmer people do not jump into the river yet.you never
know is the snake with two head can do smiling at you and stab you from like they did every day to the poor cambodia people living side by side.thai shot khmer death
animal said he or she is thief. beat our khmer kids every day said they are illegal crossing.they are no difference then the animal.
Thailand became like European England because Thai people don't want to be Khmer descendant. Thailand must stop using Khmer alphabets, Khmer vowels and Khmer numerals and start to use Latin alphabet, Latin vowels and Arabic numerals so that can suit the name of Thailand of England.
