BANGKOK, April 13 (Bernama) - Thailand says it is prepared to fight Cambodia on the disputed land near the Preah Vihear temple during final oral statements due to be presented by legal experts of both countries at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) next week, Thai News Agency (TNA) reported.
A team from Thailand had left earlier for the final oral statements to be given at the Court between April 15 to 19, Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Affairs Minister Surapong Tovichakchaikul told journalists at the Suvarnabhumi International Airport before departing for The Hague, Netherlands on Saturday.
He was accompanied by Defence Minister Air Chief Marshal Sukumpol Suwanatat and several high-ranking officers.
Surapong said ruling on the 4.6-square km scrubland near the ancient Preah Vihear temple is expected to be issued by ICJ in the next six months.
In 1962, the ICJ ruled that the Preah Vihear temple belonged to Cambodia but the surrounding land remains in dispute between both countries today.
Cambodia has requested the ICJ to reinterpret its 1962 decision on the disputed land near the temple to determine if the land belongs to Cambodia or Thailand.
Air chief marshal Sukumpol said no Thai troops are reinforced around the disputed area and believes situation around the temple would "remain normal" when the oral statement procedure takes place at ICJ next week.

I do believe Thailand will win the case because they have money to hide high profile lawyers and have significant proofs present to ICJ.

Well, just look at those faces. who are they? it seems like, the VC theives are challenging with Thai thieves, but what can you do?...so, It is time for change really e.g. we need someone who is strong to stand up against such aggressive kind of people. Just look at Gaddahfi and Saddam Hunsein with the helped of NATO, everything done and this is what we need too. If the US/UN can't help us, ask the Chinese who has controlled over southeast asia because Chinese has warned US not to be involved in the southeast asia conflicts but yet, is doing nothing for cambodia.
In fact, chinese has played its part of cambodia's downfall, therefore, how are we going to live our lives? if no one is doing anything about it. It is time for the international do something about this issue, they can't just ignore, since they all involved in its downfall or else, 'karma' will come their way like always e.g tsunami. cyclone, floods, fires, earth quakes etc..e.g if you don't let others live in peace how can you live in peace? like 'what goes around comes around...what you do is what you get...'karma'...justice will be done on earth and in heaven...because god is god and he is right and just', etc. Therefore, it is time for the international community with good moral do somthing about it and because it is right and just.
International community needs to acknowledge that cambodia is not independent, it is being controlled by a group of mafia tyoe kind of people like, the VC, Chinese and CPP crooks. They said to the international community not to 'interfere in internal affair' while they do. Again and again, they foolled the international community not to help us vulnerable people and adding to that, they are taking advantage of us and our downfall for their own benefit or as a game for them to play with.
This is very wrong!!!!

AH Ping Ang i agree with you. Not because you are right but because you need a free check for your damaged brain.
It is good to see that the Youn representative are representing the Cambodia side. Where are the top Cambodian officials?
Hor Nam Hong is a Vietnamese. Sok An is a Vietnamese.
I am Kaun Khmer for Thai not for the animal Yuon.
GO THAIS GO.
Socheata labeled Thai side as Thieves, and on Khmer side Socheata failed to list them "Yuon". If Sok An is Sino-Khmer how about Hor Nam Hong? Hor is Yuon taing ACH. That Hor cannot even speak Khmer.
I am Kaun Khmer and I want Thais to win. I Hate ah Yuon and ah peasant Jumkourt Hun Sen too much.
Mi socheata is a Youn. she is showing her colors.
Mi Kundouy G spot, srei Youn!
