Postbag to the Bangkok Post
Collectively and individually, the group of seven Thais picked up on the Cambodian border (on Dec 29) showed clear signs of being a few degrees short of a compass bearing in an escapade more akin to a schoolboy prank than a serious fact-finding mission.
During his fruitless stint at the Foreign Ministry as Thaksin bloodhound-in-chief, Panich Vikitsreth in particular demonstrated a less than firm grasp of geographical realities by placing the runaway former prime minister in a variety of wildly improbable locations.
As with another Democrat MP's humanitarian visit to a celebrated Russian prisoner earlier this year, this seems to have been an unauthorised jaunt that casts doubt on PM Abhisit Vejjajiva's judgement in his choice of friends, colleagues and allies.
The (ridiculous) seven can count themselves lucky their field trip was in an area sown only with rice; otherwise the consequences don't bear thinking about.
How much more embarrassing if Hun Sen's good friend Thaksin were to intercede to help bail them out.

that's right, they were lucky that cambodia had removed landmines from that khmer village, or the worse could've happened to these illegal 7 wondering like a cow being lost, intruding and tresspassing into khmer rice fields, etc... that said, i wouldn't be surprise if they were looking for mr. thaksin in cambodia! and the fact that they are mp, journalist, pad leader, affiliated to abishit, etc, showed their political agenda, the dirty one, that is! good luck if cambodia can release them without bail, jail time, etc!
Ah chhkai Var Kim Hong is Vietcong origin. He doesn't have Khmer blood.
I can smell war ahead of us between Cambodian and Thai. To all Cambodian government,please don't be scare of this barbarian Thai!!
They build up troops just to scare us. They think they have flexed muscle toward us but we ain't scare of them.
I am ready to bet 100 riels those seven siamese won't stay in khmer jail for more than three days.
charge space and food from these 7 thai. we do not have free space and free food for them i am sure these 7 thai are very rich. and put them in jail as long as we could. they have no right to tell us what to do. the more appichet the mand for these 7 thai the longer we will put them in jail.
Yes,Cambodia govt is afraid of 67million
people;Khmer has 14million strong people and Khmer govt has 87 million Vietnamese people behind;then also Hun Sen has 10,000 Vietcong soldiers hide in seven rubber fields in seven provinces.
Khmer dare to fight with Thai.
So,Gods bless Khmer to become Vietnam province soon.
