Thai troops now deployed along the Thai-Cambodian border will remain at their current levels and villagers affected by border clashes can return home tomorrow, Army Region 2 chief Lt-Gen Thawatchai Samutsakhon said on Friday.

Lt Gen Thawatchai said he could not say whether there will be more clashes or not between Thai and Cambodian soldiers along the disputed border.

However, Thai soldiers were well positioned to take care of the people and the border.

The deployed troops will remain it the border area but the government should hold talks with Cambodia to settle the problem quickly, Lt Gen Thawatchai said.


He said more than 21,000 residents evacuated to 27 temporary shelters in Si Sa Ket can return to their homes tomorrow.

The Army Region 2 commander said he had assigned army engineers and personnel from the Thailand Mine Action Centre (TMAC) to instruct residents of Si Sa Ket's Kantharalak district about explosive devices and mines, so they would be aware what to look for and how to react.

He was speaking after a video conference with Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva and Si Sa Ket governor Somsak Suwansucharit on Friday to assess the border situation.

Prime Minister Abhisit said the government will proceed with negotiations with Cambodia. Defence Minister Prawit Wongsuwon and Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya would take part in the negotiation process.

Si Sa Ket governor Somsak said villagers at makeshift camps wanted to return home although they were uncertain about the border situation.

The weather was very hot and people said they could not sleep well in the tents provided as temporary accommodation.

They also wanted to get back to work to earn money, Mr Somsak said.

Air Force spokesman Monthon Satchukorn said the two fighter planes that flew close to the Cambodian border on Thursday were Thai F16s on a regular patrol, and were not planes taking part in Cobra Gold 2011 joint exercise as earlier stated.

A spokesman said yesterday that Thai, US and Singaporean F16s and F18s taking part in Cobra Gold had flown to within two or three kilometres of the border "by mistake".

The spokesman said they should have remained 10km or more inside the border.

Air Marshal Monthon said there was a misunderstanding. The planes were not taking part in the Cobra Gold 2011 exercise being held in the 2nd and 3rd Army Regions.

In fact, the two F16 fighters which flew to within two or three kilometres of the Cambodian border yesterday were Thai air force jets.

They were flying a regular air patrol from Wing 1 in Nakhon Ratchasima and were not carrying any weapons, AM Monthon said.

Dear Dr. Hun Sen and Ten Thousands stars Dr. Hun Manet,

Why do you and your relatives give Kos Trol, sea and lands to Vietnam? Why? and Why?

Why do you and all of your relatives involve a lot of murder cases in Cambodia? Why? Why?

Why do you murder Cambodian K5, 1997 events and so on and so on with lost count? Why?

If you are so good why do you and your families murder Cambodians? Why? And Why?

If you are so good, why do above 90% Cambodians are so poor but you and your relatives are billionaires and millionaires? Why? Why?

Why do you try to kill people from telling the true? Why? Why?

What is the difference from Khmer Rough and you, Sir?

If you are so good why do you block KI from Cambodians?

If you are so good, why do you steal all Cambodian life such as well being, health, cut down Cambodians life expectancy as well? But you and your small group are eat well, sleep well, exercise well, have oversea doctors and best medical treatment from high class private doctors from oversea. Most Cambodians that have no money, your healthcare system left Cambodians patients to die in front of your hospital. Why? Why?

If you are so good why more than 6 millions Vietnamese are living permanently in Cambodia, right now? Why, Dr. Hen Sen? And Why

Everywhere, I walk in Cambodia I see Vietnamese speak Vietnamese every where, why? Why?

Don't you and your families scare of hell for eternity?

When you die can you bring all of your power and money with you?

How come only real Khmer with dark skin, skinny with no big land and property willing to go to the frontline to defiance Cambodia land but Chinese Cambodians are hiding and waiting to take the lands and benefit after war, Is that fair to real dark skin Khmer, Dr. Hun Sen???? When the country in trouble only Khmer with dark skin willing to die to protect Cambodian nation but rich fat Chinese Cambodian abuse dark skin Khmer as stupid after the war over, why Dr. Hun Sen???

Dr. Hun Sen and Dr. Big ass lady and his beloved Dr. Hun Manet Please don't put us in jail or kill us for this! We want to live like you and your families do!

Khmers victim of 1997 and K5, Khmer Girl Ms. Rattana Keo

PS

If Dr. Hun Sen and Dr. Hun Manet remove the tablet it is show they are extremely coward and his star are just joy stars given by his daddy not by patriotism. Dr. Hun Manet is very coward as his daddy they only aim to kill innocent Cambodians that all. Dr. Hun SEn and Dr. ten stars Hun Manet are very great at bullying Cambodians and killing Cambodians but cowardly toward Thai and Viet.

CPP are not just corrupted, CPP are extremely corrupt. They are even sell the country such as Kos Trol, Seas, lands, Cambodian people, Cambodian health and well being, all resources in the Cambodia…with lost count. You name it!

Seriously where is the win win policy of Dr. Hun Sen represent? The country is getting smaller and smaller and shame by Dr. Hun Sen and Dr. Hun Manet and his families, his relatives and friends.

How do you know what a real Cambodian suppose to look like ????

Are you trying to tell me that there is no dark skin Chinese in China ??

You look at Thai soldiers, if they are on civilian cloth and walk on the street, you can't tell the different between Cambodian or Thai.


If you are so good of telling about the race, please tell me this:

What American suppose to look like ?

Australian ?
French ?
.........

It doesn't matter what you are look like, as long as you live in that country and support the country, you are the citizen of that country.

Do you remember Lon Nol regime ? the gov. relied on the city people to fight for the war, and you see the results of that war !!!!!!
Most of those people, not all, when the fire break out they will be gone in second !!!!! They are not a patriot people.

Why only dark skin Thai without any big land and property are willing to go to the frontline to defend Thailand but the Chinese Thai are hiding and waiting to take the lands and they will benefit after the war. This is not fair to the real dark skin Thai.
When the country is in trouble only the Thai with dark skin are willing to die to protect the nation, but meanwhile the rich fat Chinese Thai abuse the dark skin Thai.
Most Chinese Thai are prejudice toward the dark skin Thai and they always look down at the real Thai. They seldom let the dark skin Thai marry with their children. It is not fair to the real Thai army.

Did you watch the you tubes? The Cambodian soldiers at the front line fighting the Thai invader, some are chinese cambodian and if you can't tell the different go and get your eyes check up before it's too late. And stop making racial slur ! This is 21th century it's not 1980 any more.
Anyone living in Cambodia legally Are the citizent of cambodian and Cambodia needs it. As a small country and small population that is why the neighboring countries bully us. I wish our beloved Khmer krom and Khmer surin one day be reunited as one then we will be stronger again.

I love my country,planning to back there soon.
