Starting 2011 this way is too deja vu for comfort, so here's my open plea to the Cambodian government. Please set free the 7 clumsy Thais immediately for the following reasons:
1. We've had enough laughs. Please free them before things get really serious, which they otherwise will, soon.
2. New Year spirit. Come on.
3. With Thaksin Shinawatra no longer your economic adviser, he can't just land on your soil and play the hero again.
4. Even if he could, how ironic and paradoxical that would be. A man without a Thai passport entering Cambodia to help secure the release of those detained for illegal entry, though they hold genuine Thai passports. Please don't let it get messier than this.
5. Time will continue to fly. The Preah Vihear-Unesco controversy will resurface in the blink of an eye at a Bahrain meeting. Let's save our energy for that mega showdown.
6. Unlike the Preah Vihear dispute, this will win an election for nobody. Cambodian voters couldn't care less about the arrest of a Thai MP who strayed over the border like a lost puppy. Thais are so enthusiastically divided that they won't let this trivial incident influence their decision anyway.
7. Think of the good old days when we helped you fend off the Vietnamese.
8. Sometimes neighbours simply have to put conflicts to rest. We've stopped talking about the "red training camp" and speculating on the whereabouts of Arisman Pongruangrong.
9. Abhisit Vejjajiva and Hun Sen looked really "bromance" together. Let's not spoil that.
10. Kasit Piromya is a bit of a loose cannon. We give you that. But hasn't he behaved himself lately? (This was written before the foreign minister was to go on air to tell the Thai public about what the Thai government planned to do. If he was back to his belligerent self, remember one half of Thailand doesn't like him that much either.)
11. No offence to your national soccer team, but you don't want the next game with ours to be highly politically charged, do you?
12. If this is all about ego, repeat after me: We have 3G; the poor Thais don't.
13. If you release the Thais, here's the deal: We can do a hit soap opera featuring a compassionate Cambodian heroine who fights against all odds to help free a group of Thais arrested for illegal entry. And for the sake of the "cultural cooperation" pledged by both prime ministers, we'll have any Cambodian actress of your choice play that heroine.
14. On the contrary, failure to release the prisoners may result in Thai hackers scrambling our TV signals, thus depriving Cambodians of excellent-quality soap operas showing, ironically, how to lock a girl up and make her love you in 10 days.
15. After a series of cordial meetings, Abhisit and Hun Sen agree that one way to shore up bilateral relations is to solve "easy issues" first. If a group of Thai border surveyors wandering into Cambodian territory can't be considered an easy case, we don't know what can.
16. Now that I'm at it, didn't both governments just sign an agreement allowing brief, visa-free, cross-border visits? Of course, travellers are supposed to go through immigration, not cross a field and say, "Hey, look, I'm on Cambodian soil now", but could you bend the rules a little for goodwill's sake?
17. If you put Panich Vikitsech in jail, you'll inadvertently trigger a heated constitutional question of whether he should lose his MP status. Spare us this headache and we'll never forget you.
18. Consider our mess. Panich belongs to the Democrat Party, which is accused by the yellow hard-liners of giving in too much to Cambodia. He was taken to the spot where he was arrested by someone who broke away from the yellow-shirt mainstream. The yellow shirts, nonetheless, are planning a protest soon, and the fate of those arrested would be a sure-fire "I told you so" rallying cry. If you wanted to punish us, that wish has already been fulfilled.
29. New Year countdown is a big deal for Thais. If you wanted to punish Panich, locking him up as the clock ticked toward 2011 did it.
20. In fact, the publicity of "that clip" has done it.
21. Think of the money we Thais spend at your casinos year after year.
22. This may be politically impolite, but please think of the refugee camps.
23. Neither of us wants to be part of the next generation's textbook on "Silliest border conflicts of all time", do we?
24. Come on, "Asean community" has to mean something apart from "hand-locking" photo ops and snail-paced free trade negotiations.
25. Of course, we've had some laughs over this episode, but overall, we are just so sick and tired. Please help.

Clumsy Thai? When did the Thai become clumsy when dealing with Cambodia? Now that these Thai are caught for breaking Cambodian law by Cambodian authorities and they become clumsy? What about those dirt poor Cambodian workers who got caught by the Thai for crossing legally or illegally into Thailand to look for job and did the Thai authorities gave these dirt poor Cambodian to become clumsy beside burn them alive and killing them!
There is no excuse for being clumsy Thai! You break Cambodian law and you must do time for your crime!
It is amazing to know that some of these Thai law breaker are a repeat offender!
Come on , How many khmer have been killed by thai army for illegal crossing to the territory. Let's kill those 7 assholes or at least lock them up as long as possible for the sack of those who was killed..
Let me have a say about this stupid article. What type of illogical reasons are being presented to support the conclusion of...Please Release the 7 Thai border Jumpers.
All of the reasons do not even add up to the conclusion at all. The point is simple, you retarded author. That is: It is ILLEGAL to be crossing into Cambodia without proper paperwork or permission. Since it is illegal entry, then the trangressors must be disciplined. Simply as that. The 7 Thais did the CRIME, well guess what, then they must pay the TIME. Get that, fool.
In addition, what have you mean-spirited Thais ever done for the Cambodian people? You f*ck with us and kill us all the time. The Cambodian blood soak the earth repeatedy at the hands of the evil Thais who continue to kill us every f*cking single day. What do you mean, you defend the Cambodians from the Vietnamese landgrabbing thieves? Way back when Thais defeated the last Cambodian stronghold in Lovek and made Cambodia their protectorate, Cambodia experienced a great loss and dismemberment of great chunk of territory to the Vietnamese. So you Thais did not even protect us at all. Now fast forward to 1979 during the Preah Vihear Massacre. You Thais pushed us Cambodian refugees down the mountain slope to die in the mine fields. You Thais shot us from behind while grabbing our valuales. So what humanity was that? Now let me keep it going: During the Cambodian refugees period, you Thais practiced shelling on the Khao I Dang refugee camps, killing innocent Cambodian families. Why did you Thais have to mistreat Cambodians in such a lowly manner for? In the present, there are countless of Cambodian migrant workers who are being savagely killed and shot to death by you evil-hearted Thais.
So your reasons given stink and the 7 Thai border jumpers must do the Time of 18 months each in Cambodia's jail.
Our Cambodian ancestors granted you Thai refugees fleeing from the Mongol onslaughts in the Cambodian territory, but you ungrateful Thais paid back your stinky gratitute with relentless endless attacks on the Cambodian people until you Thais succeeded in dismembering huge parts of the Cambodian people's territory. So stop claiming the remaining Cambodia's shriking territory as yours because hadn't you Thais carved out enough land from the Cambodian people. So stop claiming more territory from Cambodia. Your ancestral territory was in Nanchao. So go back there and reclaim your birthrights there. Stop claiming more of the Cambodia's remaining territory.
Again, the 7 Thais did the Crime, and now they have to do the TIME, then we will let them go. They must be taught a lesson about respecting the LAWS.
mother fucker Thai, do you remember 2 Cambodian bodies sending back on the same day Cambodia released the Thai prisoner?
Cambodia should play like Thais game. Cambodia should kill these 7 Thais who is illegally crossed into Cambodian border. The same way the Thai soldiers shot and killed Cambodian people.
Why THE NATION even care about the 7 yellow shirt intruder? Are you also working for abishit too? FUCK THEM how about we throw them in crocodile pond for lunch? That would cheer the Thai spirit up a bit for new year what ya rekond the nation?
Points 7 and 22 are not just non-persuasive but even provocative to the CPP ruled Cambodian government because these points remind them that they should counter the Thais for helping their rivals.
Foremost,the Nation is nothing but a mouthpiece of Bangkok elites like Prem and PAD Thai's King Lek who's dying.
This is too arrogant and contemptuous of the author opinion in viewing Khmer nation and people.
One thing on refugee camps,the UN,UNHCR,US and other nations leased the land and paid for security forces expenses plus the rotten food and meats for the refugees.Beside Siam was one of signatories of the Geneva Refugee Convention that must uphold the responsibility when comes to refugee situation.
The Nation is too biased and racist.
"War ends only when people love each other." -Buddha.
Everybody is bias depends on what you are talking about . Those 7 Thai , if they were not clumsy they would have asked the local authority to accompany them to make sure they will know where the border line was so they wont step onto Cambodia soil. The word clumsy is better than stupid.
I strongly believe that , if those 7 Thai were ordinary people , those soldiers might have sent them back with a few questions just like what they did in the past . But , since one of those was the lawmaker that's why it was such a big deal . Let Hun Sen slap Abhisit a few times to embarrass him before he let those 7 Thai go back home because it was Abhisit's idea sending those 7 Thai over the border .
Khmer Ga
Best Hun Sen should build a detention camp for Thai trespassers and assign Ta Mok's death squad to overseeing them.
If the Cambodian government does not meet and comply to our demand, they'll pay a higher price for their adventurism and arrogance and ignorance.
Remember that "peace" and "prosperity" are relatively elusive. Now, it's your call.
Additionally, we have 25 more GOOD reasons.
2:21pm I highly salute your comment
AH Veera Somkwamkid is a repeat offender for crossing Cambodian territories illegally and he was caught and let go several times already without harm and demand! But no AH Veera Somkwamkid want to be so tough with the Cambodian government and now he has nobody to blame except himself! He knew what he is getting into for breaking Cambodian law and he should stop complaining like a bitch!
According to what i see, 7 thai what were captured by CAMBODIA border guards it's only beginning of the game to swallow INDOCHINA viet will control thailand jut like cambodia,and loa.
still, it's the law that decide, not the people! without the rule fo law, you have a failed state, you know!

By keeping them in Cambodian prison,
Cambodia loses money..
Hun Sen has more Crimes than any other in Cambodia' history.
His Crime as follows :
1)- Brought Yuon to Invade Cambodia.
2)- Created K-5 plan.(Aprox. 600,000 Killed)
3)- Bombast in front of the old ASS.
4)- Coup D'etat 1997 (Aprox. 13,000 Killed)
5)- Koh Pich Murder (Aprox 400 Killed)
6)- Cut land to Yuon Enemy
All these crimes are enough evidences for International Prosecution.
I ask all khmer to file International lawsuit against Hun Sen for his "Axis of Evil" on Khmer People. And make The CASE "OO4" for KRT. backed by United Nation.
