I was very sorry to hear that there was a fight between Khmer and Thai troops near Preah Vihea temple. This is the lesson learnt that Cambodians get from neighboring countries, Thailand, a nation of chief that never give up the ambition to invade Khmer territory. Thailand is a developed country with good GDP, high rate of educated people but they seem don’t see clear about their history. And try to eliminate all true history in the past. I feel pain. I wish Cambodia become a rich country so that Thailand would not dare to look down on Cambodia anymore.
The Thai, culture of chef, newly born nation. big abition to steal.
The thai might be richer in Khmer, but the Thai is starting to go down. The stealer will someday go into jail, and it is almost time for its nation to collapse.
Khmer has every advantage over the Thai now. Investment opportunity, World Heritage Temple, Development Opportunity, … What does the Thai have?
Thai is a kind of ghost in the asian countries is always to steal such blood from people are living in the peace and try to get a way from war, that why people are living in the peace dont support to destroy it out from earth?
Thai military ‘set refugees adrift to die

Good going Thai !
You’re very kind and compassionate people. You said.
But your actions shown otherwise.
You steal Cambodia’s land and you kill the weak.
You sin will must be paid.
Thai people will never back down from what they want, they are imposters and do what ever it takes to steal a culture. They have a state call the surin area which belongs to cambodia. The people there are thai citizens but speaks cambodian fluently with a little bit of thai mixed in. They only speak cambodian at home, and when their in the city they speak thai. They have a feel to hide there true roots because of hate from the thai’s. Thai claim to have come from china yet their culture has nothing to do with it. Instead it is exactly like the khmers…
The resolution to this border problem is very simple. Thailand should not use the map that secretly created by themselves without recognized by international agreement in the world body. The way thailand behavior right now toward their neighbors is similar to NAZI back in the 1940s. Hitler drawn his own map and start to invade his neighbor countries. Conflict will be solve if thailand agreed to the international recognized map that agreed between Thailand and Cambodian/French in 1904 and 1907.
Cambodia is not the only country that Thailand wants to invade and claim territory. Thailand also has problem with Loas, Burma, and Malaysia in term of border problem.
Thailand must stops the aggressions or … all the neighbors will take actions to eliminate the aggressions…

Thai will be in turmoils or chaos once its dying king die. Its country will be just like Yugoslavia. They will split into many autonomous or will be become independent. Khmer mostly make up 30 million of them currently in Thailand needs to wake up and rejoin Cambodia.
Khmer KokKhan,
,..] preahvihearnews.wordpress.com is one interesting source of information on this subject,..]
I have been leaving in Thailand for two years for my education. I have a lot of thia friends. There are good and stupid thais all nation may have. But it is a really shame for their nation to have such kid premier, drunk deputy premier, and terrorist foreign affiars minister. I really allergic with theri faces and their word (three of thems). Hope their governemnt would not last for long.
It is a pity for Cambodian people that have misunderstood about their root of country. They are only poor Cambodian people, not khmere people. You may not know that Khmere ruled many countries in Southeast Asia from Vietnam to Laos and Burma under the name of Angkor Empire. It is similar to Roman Empire govern many countries in Europe. That is the reason why there are many stone temples in many countries in this region. So you have no right to claim that all stone are yours. We don’t have border problem with others, but Cambodia because of the evil PM, Hunsen.
In fact, stone temples are the heritage of all nations they are situated, they do not belong to just Cambodia. Cambodian are new comers just coming to live in the land named Angkor. You have no right to claim that. Angkor was great but Cambodia is a disgrace. You should build the reputation of your land by your own, not by claiming that of others. It is ashamed of you.
With the unrest and poor Cambodia, you have to be refugees to my land and we are so kind and sympathetic enough to let you live and educate in my kingdom with mercy and with respect of human right. It is because we accept that no one can choose to be born in a good country. So we are kind to you, poor people. Why do you betray to the land that gives you food and rest?
Your country has been ruled by the devils, so your country has never been in peace. What a pity Cambodian people! Now Hunsen, an evil tries to distort reality and “spin people’s head” to invade Thai border and hate Thai people. Why don’t you question to Hunsen who sold the land to Vietnam and corrupt the Cambodians for their own rich while Cambodian people still very poor.
I would like you to think that you will call the ones who come to claim the roof of your house theirs as mad people. It is like mad Hunsen try to do now. They are cheating the world. The power countries are pretending not to know and ignore about this. It is because stealing my land is the episode II of colonization in the global world. It is funny to call it accepted international map, it is just a device to rob my country. You accepted that because of your hated mind to the land you ever rest.
Academically, all countries accept that the border of the country is divided by geographical features. It is universal accepted. So it is ashamed for using a map which did not based on this standard as a device for making decision. What happen on earth with unaccepted map to be used in consideration in international case? What the justice means!
All know that Cambodia is located in a low land down hundred feet below the high plateau of Thailand. It is the fact that Pra Viharn or a stone temple at the edge of Thai cliff is actually belonged to Thailand, not Cambodia. Undoubtedly, it belongs to Thai! But why it is judged to be of Cambodia. All Thai know that we were robbed through unacademically and unscientifically accepted map by the trick and cheat of France, the mother of Cambodia. It is just politic. So, why do we have to accept this? It is just an international politics between the weak and strong power? If you have the heart of justice, you have not to accept too.
In fact, Cambodia is ruled by Thailand for a long time and it is stolen by a power country like France in colonization period. After that we let you be Free! Are you happy to be colonized by France or even dominated by Vietnam now? Why don’t you protect your land from the robber and its contingency PM, Hunsen?
We are Thai, the only independent country in Asia and we will fight for our freedom. Why don’t you do like us to force the invaders out of your country and choose a good PM!
What you are going to claim my land as yours is only a reciprocal action to steal my land. In doing that, you and many power countries especially France and USA, are being contingent to steal our land because of our rich of resources. I wonder UN and UNESCO disguise themselves only to serve power countries in order to rob many countries’ resource.
In this case, they appear to me as they are fake organizations for peace and justice. In this sense, they just say good thing for peace but they act as a device for serving power countries to exploit and rob other countries’ properties. As I have seen for the UN, UNESCO may be, I don’t trust the international agencies for peace and international justice.
I warn you all who rob my country that you will be damaged and face with much greater disasters. They come for sake of god to punish countries who act as Satan to damage the world’s peace and justice of nature. We are in peace and give mercy to you and many countries. You all, both Cambodia and power countries should not do that for sake of the world and innocence people.
Pim Gee, i’m really surprised to see that you can said such those words.As i read you comment i can say that you not well-educated people. I suggest you should back to high school and try to study harder about your history and Cambodia’s history since all your words sound so funny to me. Just remember history cannot change, only the future that can be shaped. Cambodia is one of the oldest country in south-east asia. Siam just emerged in 13th century whereas khmer exist since the very early year of common era. Got it??
I’m very sorry and disappointed to you, Pim Gee. All the comment you post back than seem like you’re an uneducated person that try to twist the history. I suggest that you should go all the way back to pre- kindergarten and start to learn the root of your own country, find out where you came from and what did your ancestors do back than. Actually, the old name of your country was SIAM mean thief.
Dear beloved Khmer brothers and sisters:
I was really inspired by your comments. You are Khmers. Don’t let this Thai or Tai or Siam fool your conscience about Cambodians are poor people. The whole world begans to learn about Khmer Empire and Khmers (Cambodians today). The world are acknowledging how Khmers have been suffered by Tai (SiamsThais’master of Deceiver). Their luck is running out. It is time to bring these thefts to justice.
Without UN protections, Khmer refugees would have been turned into Thai’s Bazaars where Khmer women were raped by Thai soldiers and then sold into prostitutes.
Khmer women hold the essence of Khmer culture and values since the birth of Khmer era: Funan, Chenla, Khmer Empire, and Today Khmer (Cambodia).
I call all Khmers wherever you are to unite.
Once for all, Khmers are called to be one again. We are united through bloodlines that have run deep in our souls. All Khmers wherever you are, come to rejoice and rejoin our heritages that our forefathers have instored for us.
Come and share your stories, your sufferings, your sorrows, your loniness, your dreams, and your love and compassions.
Once, Khmer was Great and the world remembers her as the Great Khmer Empire. Every piece of sand Stones is marked by Khmer Finger Prints all over.
Remember who you are. Today, the world sees you as a Man of Sorrow or Khmer of Sorrows.
You have earned it all, the Khmer of Sorrows.
You have passed all obstacles in human life, dignity, and sanctity. You must stand firm and be strong in unity.
You must not be ashamed of what have been done to you. You must stop being anger at yourself, but reverse it for stronger unit, self-contain and discipline.
Now, it is time for you to new strategies:
(1) Maximize your offensiveness
(2) Stabilize your defensiveness
(3) Utilize your unity
(4) Mobilize your Strength
(5) Minimize your deficiency

Hi PIM GEE,
( I have to say HI to you unless you are ignore) the true history could not be change by your bund of ignore SIAM, because the true one already absorbed by the whold of world human unless your SIAM.
Frankly speaking ( very poite to you),
You! don’t know yet WHO IS KHMER AND WHO IS CAMBODIAN. I suggest you to read your text again and again and then you will know WHO WE ARE? your text very cleared that ( NO SIAM IN THE WORLD IN THAT TIME) so please accept it don’t cheat or lie your self anymore, ignore SIAM.
Pim Gee you are a tiny animal, without parent and relative. You born from soil worm.
Pim Gee:
Your comments make no sense at all. You are like most the Thai in power right now are ignorant and stupid as your corrupted government. The fact is Preah Vihear belongs Cambodia since mankind. You need to back to school & study world’s history before making false claims. You blood thirsty siams have no rights to claim Khmer heritage as yours. We might be still a poor country after 30 of year’s civil war. But we know how to fight & we are the real warriors & we will fight you back until the last blood. You (siams) will never be in Cambodia as occupier!!!
You “siams” stole Khmer boxing style & called it thai boxing
You “siams” know how to steal but we Khmer know how to fight!
Proud to be born as Khmer!!!
Rithy
Pim Gee:
Do you know the meaning of “Siem Reap”?
Checked back your history lessons!!!
We “Khmer” brought you “siams” to the knee & let you live in peace!
Proud to be born as Khmer!!!
Rithy
Pim Gee:
Don’t forget your country started to develop with sex trade. That’s why International tourists went there to have sex with small thais!
Everybody know the main business in Thailand was your F$cking sex. So don’t give us a history lesson when you don’t know your own shit.
Proud to be born as Khmer!!!
Rithy
You are very ignorant person, you were told how to say about Cambodia. You need to go back and learn more about Cambodia,you theft. We never forget what had you done to us and still remain inside. Thailand is worrying about loosing tourists come to the country. That is the reason, they are creating the problem. The Temples belong to the Khmer,every country in southeast Asia knows that but you theft goes against it. If you theft starts a war, you will fight four wars at once(Burmese,Malay,Laos and Cambodia)We will take it back!! The world says, the Temples belong to Cambodia, They are belong to Cambodia. No questions ask!!!
Dear PIM GEE !
You f*cking son of speechless SIAM !! WTF do u think who the f*ck are u? Basically,I have read ur comment till now and been wondering, what made u believe and dare to say that that CAMBODIA were under ur such pity country. My english isn’t so good as yours but i can get what you were trying to say on us. One question for you,GEE, have you ever studied about history of yours before you came to give such a stupid comment like this? You’ll ashamed of all ur nations when you get to know your own history…!
Meanwhile till this day your uneducated and coward soldiers have been trying to cause any problem with us (KHMER or CAMBODIAN today) in order to take the stone temple (PREAS VIHEA) which is ours and also universe’s heritage. Just wanna warn you last time that each everyone of KHMER will never give up or let the dirty foot of thai step on our territory ! We all will stand to the last. You will fall !
Proud to be KHMER ! ! !
Hi Pim Gee,
I have only one advice for you. You need to re-read your own history from your library or school. Oh i’ve forgot that your country changed its history or faked it. So i suggest you to google about the history. Well-educated person always thinks before talks.
The beginning
“Pim Gee”, we “KHMER are a very peaceful people. But if you try to invade our country, we will never back down & you will be defeated. Don’t forget the “KHMER EMPIRE” during Angkor Wat era. We still have that in our blood!!!
Even Bangkok used to belong to the Khmer people!!!
Your nation has never been in a real war like us. This is the beginning of the end of your king & your kingdom. You will be in a no ending war with your neighbors & you will be living in hell forever. If you had been living in Pol Pot’s regime for a few years you won’t survive. We are the real survivors/warriors.
Do you want to have a genocide government in Thailand?
I am not a pro Hun Sun or Vietnam, but I am a pro Khmer & proud to be!!!
Proud to be born as Khmer!!!

Hi,
I can’t help to admire Pim Gee. He is such a good writer. I also praise for the school he attended, a school of theft. I also praise for the educational system he used to be in, a system of fake.
I hate this world, very badly. Why it allows this kind of people to be born in it?
Ah Pim Gee, Male or Female? Well, it does not matter. I have no response for you, because, all the intelligent people ahead of me already spoken enough. Thank you for comparing my bloodline to the great Roman Empire. Know this, prior to your people being call Thai, prior to your people being conquered, colonized and influenced by the British and the French. You “Thailand” were known as “Siam” people of thieves and robbers.
I would like to apologize to the innocent people of Thailand, who know the truth. This conflict is beyond the common people from both sides. It is aggravated by leaders and money hungry people. They in turn brainwashed the common people to fight each other for their own interest.
As for Thailand, why would you let someone of foreign born run your country and feed you nonsense i.e. Abhisit Vejjajiva, born in Newcastle and studied in England. What does he know about Southeast Asia’s history? They are the ones drawing boarders and dividing people and family.
Pim Gee, you claim that the Thai people gave us food and shelter when Cambodia was in turmoil. Maybe true, but you gave us more than that, mistreatment, rape, beating and many other acts of violence. It was not shelter the Thai government provided; it was more a concentration camp. Used for punishment and vengeance of what happened in histories past.
So, in conclusion, before you open your mouth next time I challenge you to study Southeast Asian history better. Please do not use Western influence, they are garbage. You said it yourself “I don’t trust the international agencies for peace and international justice.” Remember your current leader now is and born from the power nation.
AyeRawath Sisowath Yim,
You’re brilliant
Pim Gee, You’re an idiot and humanliated your Thai national. Check out the Khmer Empire in google and tell your people where was Thailand? I can tell you Thailand is from a piece of shit of China (Kachiv). so under your skin is chiness kachiv, that stold land pieces by pieces from every neighbour such as Burma,Loas,Malaysia and khmer. go and kill yourself if you don’t know the true.
