Thailand stands firm; Preah Vihear management plan should be deferred [... but Preah Vihear belongs to Cambodia, not Thailand!!!]

BANGKOK, June 15 (MCOT online news) - Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva on Wednesday reasserted Thailand's stance that consideration of Cambodia's proposed management plan of the area surrounding the ancient Hindu temple of Preah Vihear should be deferred by the upcoming UNESCO World Heritage Committee (WHC) meeting in Paris.

The Thai prime minister stood firm as the Thai delegation, scheduled to depart Bangkok for the World Heritage Committee meeting in the French capital this weekend, reported the Thai position over the matter to a special meeting of the Cabinet on Wednesday.

Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Mr Abhisit said Thailand’s position is that consideration of Cambodia’s management plan of the area surrounding Preah Vihear temple should be deferred, but Thailand stands ready to jointly consider it with Cambodia on the condition that Cambodia must withdraw its troops from the contested land first.


Following reported remarks by Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen that any Thai official intruding Cambodian territory will be arrested, Mr Abhisit said that law of each country must be respected and refrain from doing thing that will adversely affect bilateral relations.

Thai Minister of Natural Resources and Environment Suwit Khunkitti, as head of the Thai delegation in the 35th session from June 19-29, and his team is set to leave Bangkok for Paris on Friday.

Discussion of the Cambodian plan was deferred last year at the WHC meeting in Brazil after Thailand strongly opposed it, citing the unresolved border dispute.

In 1962, the International Court of Justice awarded the temple to Cambodia.

The site of the historic structure on the disputed Thai-Cambodian border has long been a point of contention between the two Asian neighbours.

On July 7, 2008, Preah Vihear temple was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Under the terms of the listing, Cambodia is required to submit a management plan for WHC approval.

The reason why Siam wants Preah Vihear temple and land souround the temple, because Siamese sees Vietnam will take over Cambodia soon. You can see now in our country, the border is getting move on and on daily, Koh Trol now Vietnam control. This is why Siam-Thai want land and the temple as well.

They are claiming hot air, no ground whatsoever and deceiving their own people for power. Foot dragging with no end in sight to resolve the issue besides propose for joint management in their fault call disputed land. Clearly it is not disputed land. It is clearly situated in Cambodia. What Abhishit government doing is hurting everyone over his own power. He is hoping to get something over something that is not Thailand's to begin with.

viet/youn thugs and siem thugs are so stupid in this day and age, trying to steal from cambodia like they did during the dark ages era, etc! i think cambodia should nuke these thug-like neighboring countries to oblivient, really! cambodia need to keep both siem thugs and youn thugs from wanting or dreaming to steal and occupy our beloved country of cambodia! if youn thugs steal, doesn't justify siem thugs to steal as well, both of them are real thieves, if you ask khmer people, really! anyway, i doubt if these thieves can continue to rob cambodia like they did during the dark ages era, etc... the world is keeping an eye on what's going in in cambodia and will go to great length to protect the unique cultural aspect and khmer people of cambodia from both siem thugs and youn thugs, the historical enemies of khmer people, you know!

Abhishit Vejjajiva is allowed to say whatever he wants by me, but it's Khmer that are in possession of the temple.

Who give a fuck about AH ABISHIT has to say? First his illegal government has no mandate! Second his political career is over for killing his own people and creating more conflicts with neighboring countries! The only thing that AH Abishit has not done is burn down his own house before he move back to the UK!
