Cambodian and Thai troops are playing volleyball and bowling together in a bid to reduce border tension and avoid further clashes, a military official said Wednesday.

Chhum Socheat, spokesman of Cambodia's Ministry of National Defense, said the match began Tuesday between the soldiers deployed along the border near Preah Vihear Temple, the center of border conflict.

He said the tournament will continue until May 21 at three border points not far from Preah Vihear Temple.

He said the initiative is to create friendly atmosphere and understanding between the two armies.

Cambodia and Thailand have fought three rounds of military clashes over border dispute since 2008.

Only the stupid Hun Sen's regime can play sports with enemies.
I suggest the winner take Preah Vihear as first prize.

AH HUN SEN army still adopt children behavior by playing game with the enemy. The playing game is for little children and in any game is there is a winner and a looser! God forbid AH HUN SEN army lose the game because the Siem army will see that as weakness in the mind and in the physical strength and their naked aggression will continue!

Siem naked aggression is no playing game matter!

To KP,

The oppositions know who support them and who don't. They are working their fingers to the bones to make people see the light and build Cambodia into a better country. But the playing field has not been level, has it? The CPP had used bribes, intimidation, out-right violence to make sure that the CPP gets its way. And now they are using another scare tactic. This network of local committees is nothing but the old "korng chlorb" from the Pol Pot era. So the questions you ought to be asking is, Can the CPP be fair and use legitimate means to win the next election, or can it only run crooked campaigns? Will the CPP be willing to give anyone else a chance to build the country, or is it too afraid to lose its wealth and privileges?"

I LOVE YOUR ACTICLE, SO I REPOSTED JUST TO SAY BRAVO!

If you look at the "Taliban" fighting skills,This type of fighting style take them back to thousands of years ago...When they fought Mongolian,the French,the British,the Soviet Union and now-U.S-and NATO allies,this proving that they're the master in guerilla war fighting style.What,I am trying to saying is that they would not allowed any foreigner to invaded there lands,So...what about us?Our lands is getting smaller and our neighbor is pushing us around like we're a bunchs of mice.

As kon Khmer I don't want to see this game to be played with The Siamese thieves enemy. Despite of this have happening, I want to bagge Khmer Militaries leaders please reject it next time.
As you have been known Siamese GOV'T want to achieve their embitious to encrauch, occoupy Khmer Land as same as Viet GOV'T did in 1979 because their population growing so they need to steal land from the weak neibhour.
Since then Sieamese GOV'T had used Hitler and Mousolini technic to intermidaton the neibhour by force then asking Mr.Hun for land concession along the Kh&Th's border, their first plan was totally failed. The second plane however, The Yellow Shirt Siamese GOV'T is using a Magic bullet one of their favour, first they're strongly confident that their war weapons are much supperior than, compair to Khmer Military's war equipments including number of Military personal. In this situation they see them selve as a master key holder, though, they are using delay tactic with Mr. Hun Sen. What is the delaying tactic means to Siamese GOV't?, they have more then one adventage to achieve their political gaol:
1- First they are seeking to buy any Khmer General of who ever ready to opose Mr.Hun Sen'addministrion, willingly leadding their troop to occoupy some of Khmer Land as same as the Viet did in 1979, to make their face look beter than invading neibhour by theirown troop(internationally), it was falled(Seic Samieth not in power zany more).
2- They're creating a theatre sceenary as it is actually in Bagkok to lour whether or not Mr.Hun Sen is attreacted to taking any advantage to invade Thai's territory while they're having conflict among themselve, or vice versa. This tricky and risky buseness is failled one more time, more ever they are creating a havy gravity among reach, poors, city and the rural people.
3- Potentially they will withdraw their troop from Khmer land to avoid the negociation table with Khmer, it might have some condition to be imposed on them which is they don't need it from Khmer down face to them. Other hand Abhi-SHIT feels beter face nationally and internationally by withrawal their troop because of extraction of the Red Shirts protesters. Nevertheless this thieve still maintain all the Khmer Land he had been claiming.

Remember Khmer compatriots!Siamese always using the same old tactic to steal Khmerland, during 18 and 19 hundred, Siamese Had been stolen Khmer's trerritories next to Khmer's border actual was not wast any of single Siamese's bullet, they simply moved their troops into ocoupied as you see they did in 2008 at Prasath Preah Vihear, grace to Khmer's Milatary stronger when it was then, Siamese must do more damage within their own home, and to them selve.

The population is growing but the Land is not, that why Siamese must iggnor the international LAW.
So far their missions have been failed because of Mr.Hun Sen's GOV'T holded on their endurant but for how long?.

May Buddha bless Khmer all

I never understand Hun Sen logic in dealing with the Siem military thugs. First of all these Siem military thugs are nothing more than a foot soldier taking order from Bangcock! Even if Hun Sen chooses to play game over and over and the Siem military thugs behavior and their mindset will never change before they take order from Siem higher authorities!

Maybe if Hun Sen play volleyball and bowling with AH ABISHIT and there might be a possibility of reduce tension at the border!

The political solution to the Cambodian-Siem border conflict come from Phnom Phen and Bangcock not from the border conflict area!

This is what Ah Siamese tricky doing righ now.

Thailand is a mess as a country! Khmer no need to rush to start the war yet! Eventually the Khmer will have to start retaliation!

It seem the Cambodians have no guidlines in dealing with the border dispute.

How do you play sport one minute and the next minute you shoot at each other?

No professionalism.

No seriousness.

Stop the child play.

Pack up and come back home. Stop wasting time and resources.
