Thai-Cambodian Border Dispute Can Be Solved At Bilateral Level: [Thai] Official

"We neither have any intention to threaten nor intrude militarily into Cambodian territory as earlier claimed by Cambodian authorities" - Chavanond Intarakomalyasut, another Thai tongue-twister
BANGKOK, Aug 13 (Bernama) -- An aide to the Thai Foreign Minister on Friday asserted that the Thai-Cambodian territorial dispute can be resolved through bilateral mechanisms, without third party intervention, Thai News Agency (TNA) reported.

Chavanond Intarakomalyasut made the statement after Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen on Thursday announced that he would ask United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to mediate with Thailand over the 4.6 sq km area adjacent to the ancient Preah Vihear temple, which is claimed by both countries.

The secretary to the foreign minister confirmed that bilateral discussions on the disputed area are already in progress.

Currently, Thai officials are awaiting a joint parliamentary meeting to approve three documents agreed by Joint Boundary Commission (JBC), according to TNA.

After the approval, he said, the officials will schedule the next JBC meeting. Its primary agenda item is setting up the sixth working group on a joint land survey for border demarcation.

"Thailand will settle the border row with the neighbouring country through talks," TNA quoted Chavanond as saying.

"We neither have any intention to threaten nor intrude militarily into Cambodian territory as earlier claimed by Cambodian authorities."

The foreign minister's secretary said the Thai-Cambodian dispute is a bilateral problem.

In the General Assembly meeting in New York in September, Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva will clarify the issue to the UN Secretary-General for an improved understanding before Ban's official visit to Cambodia from Oct 27-28.

Dear Khun Thai,

Khmer (Cambodia), please don't believe to what Thai (Thailand) said. We must look forward to the Internation Court to solve the border issue. Thai (Thailand), you should know your true and where you were originally came from, and your hitory. You (Thai) know that ALL temples in Thailand belonge to Khmer and it was Khmer territory. You (Thai) claimed that you wanted Preah Viher Khmer temple. Who built the temple?

In fact...

Back in 1899 when the castle was discovered the temple by the lord of Thailand And has inscriptions of the era with a shelf on the cliff A
Later in 1907,Thailand have asked French make border mapping.So One of them draw a map of France took his temple. Which is in the possession of Thailand To the Cambodian side of the border with France. The line does not hold a watershed basis. This map later called "integrated map 1" (Annex I map).

Don't just say..! Think before you speak, Siam..! It's more than enough for Cambodia to bilaterally talk with you, Siam..! Cambodia must show your good face at the international arena as being a good neighbor you treated to Cambodia, and Cambodia will treat you at the same way..!

Hun Sen is flip flop too.He never set his policy straigh.He is not work for the Cambodian interest because he alway share with his boss.I guess he will be back to bilateral talk again and Thai will use this talk for the benefit of affishit in the next election.

siem's weakness is the world body. keep pushing for the UN international law, cambodia. stop playing siem childish game; is hasn't work for two years now, and we saw siem's true character. they kept using the mysterious map that's not recognized internationally to claim lands from cambodia that's not theirs! they afraid of dealing with the international body because they know they cannot play their childish game with the world. use the world as our witness; everybody i the world will be witnessing siem's violation of the international law and everything they want to sign with cambodia. this way they can't flip flop as there will be the international witnesses.

The Khmer/Thai border issue has been dragging for over two years now with unsuccessful solution, it's a waste for everyone' s times and effort. I strongly recommended the Cambodian Govt seeking helps from multilateral solution as soon as possible. Stop wasting times with the unreliable Thailand.

As long as Thailand say it do not invade Cambodia but it still keeps its 10 solidiers in Pagoda in cambodia near preah vihear temple, Thailand tell a lie. Do not believe them if it doesn't withdraw these solidiers.
