Situation on Cambodian border normal

The situation along the Thai-Cambodia border is normal following Thailand's opposition to Cambodia's management plan for Preah Vihear temple, Chalotorn Phaovibul, charge d'affaires at the Thai embassy in Cambodia, said on Thursday.

Mr Chalotorn said he believed Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen would not react until the World Heritage Committee decides whether to approve Cambodia's management plan for the ancient Hindu temple.

Any reinforcement of troops along the border is normal, he said, adding that he has not received reports of any unusual situation there.

The Foreign Ministry has instructed him to monitor Phnom Penh's reaction and reported back to Bangkok, he said.

No matter what the WHC's decision would be, Mr Chalotorn said he believed Thailand and Cambodia would each refrain from violence and use diplomatic means to solve their conflict.

I am doubly concerned when it's too quiet in the frontline. We'd better be ready for any eventuality. Never trust the siameses/yuons.

I have enough of Mr. Abhisit and his yellowshirt cohorts’s provocative attitude. If they want to bully us, let’s invite our friends Mr. Thaksin and other redshits to Cambodia for some “economic” forum.

Since Hun Sen was a Khmer Rouge commander, now a Khmer Rouge leader and had many of his political opponents and journalists assassinated, I wonder if he have any plan to assassinate the Thai Prime Minister (Ahbullshit Vejjajiva)?
