The border dispute between Thailand and Cambodia could end with an order from the International Court of Justice in The Hague today.
In a petition submitted in May, Cambodia asked the court to issue a temporary injunction forbidding Thai troops from carrying out any activities in a disputed area near the Phrea Vihear temple, which is listed as a World Heritage Site.
In 1962, the court ruled that the ancient Hindu temple belongs to Cambodia. In recent years, Thailand has insisted the ruling covered only the temple and the area around it is Thai territory.
Regardless of the court's ruling, we believe a Pheu Thai-led government will seek a rapprochement with the Hun Sen government, which is not on good terms with the government of outgoing prime minister Abhisit Vejjajiva.
Thai-Cambodian relations is one of six urgent matters that Pheu Thai has pledged to resolve as soon as it takes power. The party will also reduce the prices of gasoline, diesel and cooking gas as promised.
Because he has a longstanding good relationship with Hun Sen, ex-premier Thaksin Shinawatra can help improve bilateral ties that had been soured under the Democrat-led administration.
As close neighbours, Thailand and Cambodia has common interests to share. Good political ties will help improve cross-border trade and investment, to the benefit of both countries. However, the Pheu Thai-led government must take care that personal gain does not take precedence over the interests of the country.

Thais, Cambodians, Vietnameses, Laotians, all should live like good neighbors and brothers. Pad Thai's and the Vietcong's agendas should not be fostered...
Hopefully peace and stability prevail in favour of investment and trade for the future generations.
We only live once, why not give and take. Sacrify lives for the small piece of land is not worth the effort.

fucken idiot Thailand !!!
People both side died for nothing.
why Thai dont think living in peacefully? The war is not the option for people. You know when the war happened the leader of each countries sleeping in Villa but people who are impacted by living in camp not eduation, business, people mind. The war happended is very costly both capital and human resource. Although Cambodia is small and poor, Thai cannot do whatever they want to invade because it is not for only leader but also people conflict. Thus, power of national defense is much more powerful than Thai. Cambodia has a lot of war experience while Thai living in peace and development, so Cambodia led to poor and Cambodia want to development country rather than poor, But it is not meant Cambodia scare Thai. A few fighting in the past, Cambodia has just self-defense only.
Koh Tral Island must not be forgotten
By Ms. Rattana Keo
Why do Koh Tral Island, known in Vietnam as Phu Quoc, a sea and land area covering proximately over 30,000 km2 [Note: the actual land size of Koh Tral itself is 574 square kilometres (222 sq miles)] have been lost to Vietnam by whose treaty? Why don’t Cambodia government be transparent and explain to Cambodia army at front line and the whole nation about this? Why don't they include this into education system? Why?
Cambodian armies are fighting at front line for 4.6 km2 on the Thai border and what's about over 30,000km2 of Cambodia to Vietnam. Nobody dare to talk about it! Why? Cambodian armies you are decide the fate of your nation, Cambodian army as well as Cambodian people must rethink about this again and again. Is it fair?
Koh Tral Island, the sea and land area of over 30,000 square kilometres have been lost to Vietnam by the 1979 to 1985 treaties. The Cambodian army at front line as well as all Cambodian people must rethink again about these issues. Are Cambodian army fighting to protect the Cambodia Nation or protecting a very small group that own big lands, big properties or only protecting a small group but disguising as protecting the Khmer nation?
The Cambodian army at front lines suffer under rain, wind, bullets, bombs, lack of foods, lack of nutrition and their families have no health care assistance, no securities after they died but a very small group eat well, sleep well, sleep in first class hotel with air conditioning system with message from young girls, have first class medical care from oversea medical treatments, they are billionaires, millionaires who sell out the country to be rich and make the Cambodian people suffer everyday.
Who signed the treaty 1979-1985 that resulted in the loss over 30,000 km2 of Cambodia??? Why they are not being transparent and brave enough to inform all Cambodians and Cambodian army at front line about these issues? Why don't they include Koh Tral (Koh Tral size is bigger than the whole Phom Phen and bigger than Singapore [Note: Singapore's present land size is 704 km2 (271.8 sq mi)]) with heap of great natural resources, in the Cambodian education system?
Look at Hun Sen's families, relatives and friends- they are billionaires, millionaires. Where did they get the money from when we all just got out of war with empty hands [in 1979]? Hun Sen always say in his speeches that Cambodia had just risen up from the ashes of war, just got up from Year Zero with empty hands and how come they are billionaires, millionaires but 90% of innocent Cambodian people are so poor and struggling with their livelihood every day?
Smart Khmer girl, President Ms. Rattana Keo,
Yes indeed,Ms.Rattana Keo.
Thai can't take Preah Vihear
and 4.6 square miles from Khmer
because they belongs to Cambodia.
And also Koh Tral,some small
islands,and sea water belonged
to Cambodia;why Hun Sen signed
agreement in 1979 and 1985 gave
to Vietnam?
The Vietnam govt must return them
back to Cambodia.
Hun Sen govt must take this issue
to World Court of Justice,he can
do with Thailand;so he can do with
Vietnam.
Hun Sen could protect Khmer land
at Thai side,you can protect it
from Vietnam.
