Thailand Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said Saturday in Jakarta that his country “has no ill intentions towards Cambodia.”
“We want to resolve this peacefully. We have a number of bilateral mechanisms that are functioning. We have continued to function while these clashes took place and there is no sense in trying to internationalize or escalate the conflict,” he said on Saturday at the first day of the 18th ASEAN summit.
Abhisit said that the settlement could “prove to the world that as members of the ASEAN family, that this can be resolved.”
Deputy government spokesperson for Thailand Suphachai Jaismut said that Thailand would likely meet Indonesia on Sunday.
“Maybe Thailand will ask Indonesia to explain about the TOR [Terms of Reference]. Until now we, have not agreed with it,” he said.
Indonesia Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa previously said that both Cambodia and Thailand had agreed on the TOR.
“We have to explain why; to inform Indonesia about the issues. For example, in that area there are military from Cambodia...that’s the conflict area. So, if Indonesia sends their officers to observe there, that means that there are some areas that the military has had to move out of, but we are not even sure that Cambodia agrees with this issue,"
Suphachai said that Thailand was “ready to resume the JBC [Joint Boundary Commission]. “[we are] waiting for Cambodia to accept the invitations.”
A statement from Abhisit revealed to the Post by Suphachai shown that Thailand favors bilateral methods for resolution of these issues.
Thailand and Cambodia have engaged in clashes in their border area, with the last skirmishes occurring last month. The ongoing dispute has resulted in dozens of casualties.

The culprit is Abhisit and his cohorts. See how bad he is. Indonesia say he agreed to the ToR, now Abhisit say he has not agreed to anything. How can any country negotiate with a thief.
Thailand has no ill intentions towards Cambodia. Thailand just want to take Cambodia's land, culture, and everything under the sun.
The reason why Thailand doesn't want the border issue internationalize or get solved by ASEAN is because Thailand engineered the conflict for its' own internal gain...just like what the Wall Street Journal said. Thailand knows that the international community will come down on it hard if more of the international community knows the about what it's doing. No matter how much Thai media's campaign to divert the truth and put out propaganda about Cambodia, the world will not look favorable on Thailand. The truth is already known.
Never trust the siamese.
Proud of our Cambodian government. Of course they are not from the best universities of the world (UK or US,) but they still work hard to compete with Thai academics.
One Khmer live in Europe
Since Hun Sen was a Khmer Rouge commander of the Democratic Kampuchea Pol Pot Khmer Rouge Regime, now a Khmer Rouge leader of the Cambodian Peoples Party Hun Sen Khmer Rouge Regime 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)?

Yes, the world knows exactly what the Thais are doing. All the media spin craps are becoming ridiculous jokes, making the Thais the laughing stock of the international community.
