The raising of the Unesco flags and the Khmer Kathen ceremony at Wat Keo Sekha Kirisvarak have enraged Thailand which led it to lodge a strong protest.

Radio Free Asia’s reporter based in Thailand reported that Thailand has protested in a statement issued on Friday, 14th of November, 2008.

The Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs has protested against a number of activities performed by Khmer authority in the Preah Vihear areas where one activity took place on the 7th of November and the other took place on the 12th of November. Thailand accused that these sorts of activities have violated its sovereignty and territorial integrity.

On the 7th of November, Khmer and Unesco officials have raised Unesco flags in the Preah Vihear complex and on the 12th of November, the Khmer authority has held a Kathen ceremony inside the Wat Keo Sekha Kirisvarak pagoda.

In a statement issued on Friday the 14th of November, the Thai Foreign Ministry has said that it had sent a protest letter to Cambodian Ministry of Foreign Affairs because the Cambodian authority did not inform the Thai side about its activities in the areas and accused Cambodia of violating Thailand’s territory around the Wat Keo Sekha Kirisvarak pagoda.

The Thai Foreign Ministry has accused Cambodia of violating its sovereignty and territorial integrity because Cambodia’s activity on the 7th of November include the raising of three flags on the towers of the Preah Vihear temple and the construction of two large signposts on the staircase of the temple. Thailand has accused the Cambodian officials who went to raise the flags by crossing through its territory without prior permission from the Thai authority.

There is no news regarding the Cambodian reactions to the protest of the Thai Foreign Ministry.

However, Cambodian border activists based in Europe has reacted to the Thai protest.

Mr. Kiri Setha, a Khmer from The Netherlands, said: “The raising of the Unesco flags, flags representing the International Court of Justice and Cambodian flags is the sovereignty of Cambodia in order to confirm the ownership of its heritage. And the holding of a Kathen ceremony at Wat Keo Sekha Kirisvarak is purely a Cambodian matter, it’s the right of Cambodia.

Mr. Kiri Setha said that, because of the outrage against Thai invasion of the Cambodian territories that caused about 270 Khmer people from around the world to stage a demonstration in front of the International Court of Justice in The Hague, The Netherlands, on the 1st of November.

Those 270 protesters include Khmer people from Cambodia, France, The Netherlands, Norway, America, Canada as well as from Germany.

The Thai are annoyed because those flags make it difficult for them to shoot at the temple. Good move.

There should be many more of that flags deeper to the north of the Preah Vihear temple even to where I am currently residing. Because Khmer's territory is far beyond from the temple and Wat Keo Sekhha Kiri Svarak.

Bully Siam!

This is what we called "TIGER NEVER CHANGES ITS STRIPES".

The same with the THAIS who have never CHANGE THEIR HABIT OF BEING THIEVES WHO ARE EDUCATED FROM BIRTH TO STEAL EVERYTHING FROM THEIR NEIGHBORS RANGING FORM EVEN A PIECE OF STONE OR AN INCH OF LAND.

Everthing the Thais possess now are all stolen, such culture, language, arts, tradiction.

The Siamese really have no brain and no shame at all, I repeat at all.

But if we think it over another way, the Siamese are really pitiful. They are wrongly educated since their birth. They are trained to be expert land robbers. They are taught to be ultras.

So, to deal with these animals a small country like ours has no better alternatives than referring to legal forums especially ICJ. Sort the border issues with them as soon as possible. The so-called bilateral negotiations will not work and only waste time, yet give them time for further invasion. It will become more and more complicated if we delay.

I think Thailand has gone too far. Cambodia and Cambodians cannot even do anything inside their territories. Even they go with Unesco officials to plant Unesco and Cambodian flags inside Khmer territories, inside Khmer temple, the Thai still protest. Like what Khmer Surin at 1:52pm said, Khmer territories extends far beyond Preah Vihear temple, so the Cambodian government should take this dispute to the international court, the sooner the better. It is useless to negotiate with Thailand because Thailand is very deceitful. Believe me, at the end nothing will be achieved in the negotiations, unless Cambodia agrees to give Thailand the territories around Preah Vihear.

I really feel sorry for this idiot 7:04pm who claims to be Khmer in Thailand. Why are you calling yourself Khmer idiot? Just because your Siam mother is being raped by a Khmer man doesn't mean that you are Khmer; therefore, stop calling yourself Khmer. If you don't know who you are, ask your mother...you low life scum bag thief!

Don't pay attention to 7:04 pm, we should sypathize with him for his poor up bringing and lacking of education. There are a lot of Khmer in Thailand who know their history and proud to be Khmer.

Cambodia Preah Vihear is not on the mountain. What's on the mountain belongs to Khmer in Thailand, and it's called Preah Viharn.

Anyone who thoroughly follow the news knows Thailand is the trouble maker. What we need is a fair international court to judge over this trouble making country again. Cambodia wish to make clear with this country of Cambodia sovereignty.

What trouble? There are no Thai below the cliff, but there are too many monkeys from Cambodia who climbed the cliff to try to steal lands and temples from Khmer people in Thailand.

The Unesco flag is a nice flag indeed. I'm sure you agree with me.

Cambodia got and post those three flag according to UNESCO. Cambodia DO NOT have right to post a UNESCO's flag without their permission. So, I just wonder why Ah Siam Foreign Minister protest against Cambodia? Why don't they sue it to UNESCO? Do they affraid? or those flag bothered them that they can't move no more border to Cambodia territorial integrtiy?
It's a fucking Thai.
They are so fucking annoying!!!

Coz of they're (Siam) so greedy. Now they got into a sorrowness. Their queen had gone. She's JET ROY.
See....See... this is a curse and deserve what they had done.
[[[ I really so so sorry to hear that and I wish your king, Adulyadeth will be the next one in couple month later. ]]]

Yo,Yo... wish thai king live in hell soon soon.

***** May God Blast Thai King and Bleed all the blood from his vein.****

5:58AM,

Preah Viharn? It sounds so funny. I've never heard such a word used and recognized by anyone, except for you guys the greedy and bloody Siamese invaders.

If you are not educated, let me tell you that even the stupid Thai script are stolen from that of Cambodian. You actually spell the word Preah Vihear the same way with the same Khmer alphabets but you are not able to pronounce the letter "Ror". So sad that Cambodians have the Siamese land robbers at birth as their neighbours.
