"Brig Gen Hun Manet, 33, who graduated from the US Military Academy at West Point, wanted to retaliate against Thai troops after Cambodian troops suffered severe damage in Friday's clashes" - Thai source
Thai army officers have no plans to rush into talks with Cambodia to end the border conflict as they say the Cambodians are lacking in unity and are not keeping to their word.

"Despite [previous] talks [among commanders] and truce agreement, Cambodian field units started firing again," 2nd Army commander Thawatchai Samutsakhon said yesterday.

"It's them who start the fight every time and then [they] come up with this and that excuse. I won't negotiate [with them] yet," Lt Gen Thawatchai said.

"As for now, we are fully prepared to curb whatever is to come."

He said the ceasefire deal might not have been conveyed properly to field units, and this was why firing went on.


Defence Minister Prawit Wongsuwon has ordered the 2nd Army to try to hold further talks with Cambodia and to find a way to effectively end the fighting, Defence Ministry spokesman Thanathip Sawangsaeng said.

Col Thanathip said Gen Prawit was very worried about the situation.

"In past negotiations between military commanders from the two sides, Cambodia has agreed to stop firing and the commanders seemed to understand," the spokesman said.

"But the agreed messages might have not reached all operation units yet, so there were still clashes."

An army source said Gen Prawit spoke with Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen and Defence Minister Tea Banh by telephone on Saturday and they agreed to a ceasefire and to stop reinforcing their troops.

"But Cambodia has not kept its word and has started a new attack on Thailand, which has infuriated the [Thai] defence minister," the source said.

Thai field commanders believe the Cambodian operation after the ceasefire on Sunday was the work of Hun Sen's son, Hun Manet, who was promoted to a two-star general in a ceremony earlier this month.

He is commanding the Cambodian troops based near the Preah Vihear temple himself.

"Hun Sen wants the Cambodian people to be satisfied with his son and he wants to show them his [impressive] roles before he is to be promoted to the army chief's post," a source said.

Brig Gen Hun Manet, 33, who graduated from the US Military Academy at West Point, wanted to retaliate against Thai troops after Cambodian troops suffered severe damage in Friday's clashes, the source said.

"I know that the Cambodian side faced heavy losses," Lt Gen Thawatchai said.

"We also have some losses, so we should not fight. But when Cambodian troops do not have unity, it's useless to talk with them now."

Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban said yesterday he hoped dialogue between the two sides was still possible as a key mechanism to end the border row.

According to commander of special bodyguard unit as quoted in local TV, at least 8 military trucks were used by Thais to transport the bodies of Thai soldiers.

So far, only 3-wounded soldiers were reported in all Thai medias.

Come on!! where are the $200 millions each budget allocated into the military? Where all the moneys collected by cutting all trees in Cambodia. gem stone, petrol, minerals etc...?
Where all the moenys collected each year from land concessions?
It waste my effort to help this government of killing their own people ???

Look who's talking? Siam, on the other hand, is never keeping its own word. Siam who started the second & third attack on Preah Vihear. It wasn't our Khmer troops. Don't trust these Siams! They are nothing, but liar and self centered.

What the fuck is the Siem dogs talking about? Damn, it like crying wolf when they see a little puppy. Major General Hun Monet can't issue an attack. If there is going to be any attack issued, it will have to come from those 4 stars generals. I'm not suggesting that they've issued an order to resumed the hostilities, as claimed by Thailand. The sleezy Siem are just very good at making up stories. Fucking dirty bastards. They have been making up story that Cambodia always attack them first, which is what Cambodia said at first. Thailand then turn around and said the same thing as Cambodia have said. What really fuck up is, those Bangkok-base foreign media listen to Thailand more than they listen to Cambodia because there are very few Phnom Pehn-base foreign media.

It is worth to post the Bangkok post's gossip in here. This is the Thai's words of trying to break down our unity. Please screen some of the article. We don't need to read everything of their lies.

If the above statement is true, I don't think Brig Gen Hun Manet is an educated man.

Educators don't think like the way Hun Manet supposely think!

If it true, he must have paid his way through school.

Hun Manet makes sure khmer Gen. do not negotiating with ah thai army and tells your dad not to have bilateral negotiation with ah thai gov. too. It's a waste of times. Unless, khmer ready to give 4.6sq/m, whatever ah thai claims belong to ah thai.

If Khmer are not keeping their words in this border issue, why don't the Siam look to a third party intervention for a quick and fair resolution??. From this rhetoric, it is the Siamese that is playing political game and lies and lies and lies to their grave.

I really admire Thai cowards for their extreme self-righteousness. Cowards who always point its fingers on others.

We, Cambodian, will file a war crime complaint to International Criminal Court for crimes being committed by Abhisit and its associates.

Long live, Cambodia. Downfall, intruders.

A lot of us are against Hun Sen regime but I thing is wrong to post this kind of story in this site.

this article is a two sided edge knife.

It discredits Hun' s family as well as the whole Khmer army.

Every war has it propaganda machines, please think twice before you post any articles.

The division is really in Thailand, where different overzealous gangs wearing different colors march in the streets of Bangkok.

Even Abhisit does not have total control over the Thai military, which is headed Prayuth. And Prayuth is scared to be replaced if Abhisit should lose an election this year.

The fighting erupted because Prayuth is trigger happy just like in May of 2010 when Prayuth ordered the military to mowed down protesters.

The thai newspaper, that one of hun sen's son was hurt during the fighting at Preah Vihear. I doubt is this new is true. Ony, Hun Sen's son can verify this....

The Siem leaders always play the blame game and they blame on Cambodia, they blame on the World Court, and they blame on UNESCO but they never blame themselves for being a fucken thief for trying to steal other country property! The root cause of the conflict is the Siem leaders choose to be a fucken thief and they choose to violating international law and their use of illegal military force on Cambodia as if Cambodian people owed these Siem thieves something from the past life!

To solve the Cambodia-Thailand border conflict once for all and the Siem leaders must choose not to be a fucken thief!

Why all the aggression towards your Asean counterpart.

It is sad enough that Thais have been make use by their Politicians for personal gain (see video confiscated from the 7 captured in Cambodia).
http://youtube.cf/watch?v=RwwDhuv-RX0
Don't hate those who have been make used of, piety them instead.

Politicians love to screw their peoples' mind with false security and fear, so that they can control their people. But some will go to the extend of screwing their peoples' life just for their personal gain.

The world would be a better place without Politicians.

Suthep should not lie thai people. The world know that Thailand internal conflict is hard to solve. The war at preach vihear is clearly show that thai army and government want people not to look directly onto thai internal tension.
Cambodian people is united. Our leader is great.
No matter what Cambodia will fight against the invader.
