REPORT: On the Thai-Cambodian border, the two countries are in a stand-off over the area of land surrounding the Preah Vihear temple. (C. Payen)

We have noticed recently some misuse of language, and this is not acceptable. We ask for more respect of rules of politeness and courtesy. We won't hesitate to erase some more comments if we notice more overflowing. We encourage you to post comments with more serenity in the future. FRANCE 24

[@cocapepsi5]

I am a Cambodian but I don't hate your King. He seems like a respectable, caring leader, who is beloved by his people. Sometimes, I wish we have such a leader. But an amazing leader must love all people, not just his own. I will give him even more credit if he can use some of that influence to help ameliorate this situation.

[@tatchomrern]

This Thai monk must be given some more enlightments.I would like to give him one.

I am Vietnamese. I think Vietnam should give back Saigon to Cambodia and Thailand should give back all stolen back to Cambodia as well.

[@minhtri649]

I think Cambodia should give back land to Funan and Laos.

i thought monks aint suppose to claim property; they suppose to pray for the people. no mather who property its belong to, its still not nesasary to spill blood over it. What a shame:(

[@Soksabai79]

Why KZbin Moderators deleted all khmerpride1 Preah Vihear videos????

[@cocapepsi5]

To those looking down on my country, Cambodia. We never claim to be more than a 3rd-World country that just barely got out a war-torn period. By nature, a 3rd-World country has problems, lots of them. Why would you want to compare yourself to us? You are more advanced, and good for you, you had decades of head start; you should be better. If you really are better, show us by being our teachers or leaders; but don't stand there and ridicule us. It takes two immature, little children to fight.

[@DangersMines]

France never changed anything from the Germanic origin name to the French name in Alsace, but Thailand changed everything from the Khmer origin name to the Thai name in Thailand. That's a different.

[@laoslove]

@pol600ful I don't know how much you know about the history. Just go ask your daddy where is the Pra Kheo Morakok come from?

[@KensaiZen]

@titouille100 So your claim of "we were there first" is false. That land belonged to someone else before your people got there. Khmers are from the austro-asiatic people which migrated into SEA, so another claim of being there first is false. The first culture to develop in SEA was the dong son culture originating from south vietnam. Your king of angkor was educated in indonesia and took their culture. which was in turn from South India. what part of khmer culture is original?

[@DangersMines]

France and Germany never claimed anything belonging to them and they don't create the confusion for their people. Thailand is using it tongue to talk peace with Cambodia but at the same time Thailand is using its legs and its arms invading Cambodia. Today, Thailand is sending more troops into Cambodia territory, if Cambodia did not prepare Thailand would have robbed the Cambodian property.

[@206guy5]

Preach Vihear built by the Khmer and belongs to the Khmer

[@titouille100]

@KensaiZen And if you clain Preah Vihear, Cambodia claims Bangkok, Surin... too

[@puthivuthdara6012]

Bruh if they claim preah vihear, We could claim Thai since Cambodia have their land before they have the name as a country

[@titouille100]

@KensaiZen Ok, so stop to reclaim Preah Vihear. And return back to the older borders agreed both in 1902. And the sea borders

[@pisithlaw7554]

You interviewed many Thai people, yet Cambodian side, you did only one person who is a son of former Khmer intellectual high-officer, why not interview Many other Cambodian people who learnt a lot about law, philosophy, politics, military strategy and other foreign languages such as English and French to express their points of view about this issue?

[@KensaiZen]

@titouille100 Relations with malay and vietnam seem to be fine. don't know where you are getting this from lol. Laos people I do have to admit face a lot of belittling by the Thai people and its one of those things I definately do not agree with but from pretty much all the Laos people that I've met (and it is quite a few) we are very friendly and brotherly. Seems most anti Thai sentiment comes from Laotians who live overseas. Khmers on the other hand seems to hate Thais for ancient History.

[@daravanh]

wow. i was not implying that towards you nor was I trying to put out a negative energy. And what do you mean people like us? I am against this situation and understand what's going on. I'm trying to put out that people shouldnt make negative remarks about the situation but to support of being biased and adding racial/prejudice remarks.

[@queenofscore]

Why don’t we share the Temple of Preah Vihear?

Why don’t you share your home with people that are homeless?

It's so sad every comment here is mindless. When branches of your tree grow past the fence into your neighbor house, do you want the neighbor to come in and saw the whole down? Can't all grow up and solve the problem peacefully as much as possible before start fighting and hating each other? I'm Thai and I have Cambodian friend as well. We don't get you guys.

[@Soksabai79]

@031139988 - The whole world knew that Cambodia Kings gave freedom to all Thai running from the Mongol invading their Nanchao land that's why Thai means Free for all Thai surviving from the Mongol killing just read Khmer numbers writing on every Thai currency.

[@tatchomrern]

When you became a monk,that mean all of human desires must be relinquished. You devoted yourself only to dhamar and peace. Monks must not own any luxury as normal human being.We are sinners. As the rule and the philosphy of buddha and the principles of being a buddhist, monks and nuns should only possess their yellow robes and white dresses,others than these two holy colors if fobidden.

That was not my comment, it was a spam. Who is the idiot used my name on this comment? Cambodian owned 8 provnces those marked as Thai country today. KZbin moderator, please remove a spam comment ASAP. Thanks, Mnkutbory.

[@KensaiZen]

@titouille100 its not just Thailand that cambodia has border disputes with either. seems also with vietnam as well. If your trying to make out that Thailand is a villain of SEA... I don't think so. Another example is the Riot at Phnom Penh in 2003 where even your government claimed a Thai actress said some crap about angkor wat. Caused lots of damage and turned out it was false allegations. Cambodia is totally Anti Thai biased from the normal people to the government. can't believe anything.

[@titouille100]

@KensaiZen A great war beetwen Thai and a coalition of Lao Viet Cambodia is inevitable. You have so long time played with fire, and abuse on the feakness of your neighbors. Don' t forget the 2 last clashes, a lot of thai soldiers prisonners and died.

[@KensaiZen]

@titouille100 Unfortunately for you, I didnt research from Thai history books. My sources are from many sources. Hell even wikipedia. All you need is common sense and an education to realise that all your claims are BS. Sure you guys had a great empire. But you got destroyed. Obviuously you've never studied SEA history further back than the angkor period. Dvaravati was the kingdom of Mon people that was situated in present day Thailand before the Angkor invaded.

[@DangersMines]

One Thai soldier got injured on the land mine, another Thai just dead in his sleep and another 10 Thai soldiers just died in the Thai air force crashed. Good start Thailand asking for war with Cambodia.

[@Mnkutbory]

Thai soldiers stying at Tamon temple and forbid Cambodian soldiers to stay 100m away from the temple. I don't where Thai get the right from to invaded our country; Where is United Nation? come on; is there a real world out there? Where is the International Court Justic? Where is the Democracy? Where is the countries love Damocracy? Please anyone please answer me !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@titouille100]

@solitus41 You khnow only the History from 100 years ago ? Go to wikipedia and seach the khmer empire and you will learn a lot. Siam invade Khmer territory many. Siam came from Mongolia, so you can go back lol

[@titouille100]

@KensaiZen I'm not Cambodian and i'm a military instructor officer. I learn to understand Khmer people and know well their mind, their saoul, not like what you did. But about thai people, thai soldiers, i read a lot books and magasines, SHAME ON YOU. With these bad karma, it is time for you to pay, no peace and perhaps you will try to escape to Cambodia, Lao or Burma, or Malay

[@titouille100]

@thechar80 And in the whole world, we call thai men "katoys" not for the insult, just for fun

[@laoslove]

@pol600ful You are dead wrong my friend. Have you ever spoken to any Lao people about the Pra Kheo? I think Thai just wanted to cover up the whole story. Since you are so smart go figure out yourself....I am supported Cambodia all the way . I think it is better for Lao and Cambodia to be brothers and sisters country not damn Thailand.

@KensaiZen Why around you, nobody loves you ? Lao, Viet, Burma, Malay, Cambodia ? NO, THEY ARE NOT JALOUS, YOU HAVE NOTHING TO ENVY. Rich or poor its not important for life. To be Honest is better. BE HONEST AND NOT ARROGANT. I remark people going to thailand just for sexe and sea. There are no contact with thai people, particularlly thai men.

[@KhmaiRocker]

The temple belongs to Cambodia the only park of the temple that belongs to the Thai are the stairs. If they Thai lose Preah Vihear then there will not be any tours. And then Thai will lose alot of money. Thailand want all the money that is made from Preah Vihear thats why they are willing to go to war for it. Money.

@KensaiZen If Khmer people use thai products because they had not choice.Today it is different. And why your ministers come to Cambodia trying to promote your products ? If Cambodia go to work in thailand, because thai people are lazy. One more time, when people are poor and hungry, they need to work and to eat. Don't be arrogant like a ling

[@thysawonn]

Don't claim if it does not belong to you.Preah Vihear is belong to cambodia. that is final. Don't try to call it a different name like pra wihan . what ever that is. And your own drawn map does not exist or recognize in the world. The longer you stay in cambodia, the more shame you will have for your country. It is illegal to invade a smaller nation. go back home and make babies , it is better. And teach them the real history.If you want war, khmer will welcome that too.

France, Please read the real history that Preah Vihear used to be Thai land but you were as an evil France to colonize Cambodian and judged for your own favorite that Praeh Vihear belongs to Cambodian as a deal to leave Thailand out, not to be colonized under France. Shame on France that is trying to distort the truth.

the reason thai wants preah vihear so much is because its history got to do with khmer king pray special ceremony there before a war or battle begin to get blessin from the gods and win a war. then thais will try to move in angkor wat if let preah vihear go to the thai. for the thai ppl war is war. killing is killing it got nothing to do with old floppy shoes.
