  The proof is in: Thai military is caught having systematic lies for Thai people and the world. yesterday They said no Thai soldiers were captured, and Cambodia said they captured 10 Thai soldiers and would return them to Thailand on request, but Thai military refused to back down saying no Thai soldiers were missing. Here it is the picture of truth:

  To average Thai people, they are being systematically lied to and buy what their military personnel and royals tell them. Thailand needs to reconcile internally. Thais should put an end to the fighting between 'Thai Royal, Military, PAD and Court' vs 'Thai Government and Majority of Thai Voters'. Otherwise, Thai military will keep on being a group of armed gangsters encroaching into other people's house.

  "Thailand has strong policy of "peace". And they help cambodia much to improve the living quality, public health, infra-structures, and education. But, what cambodia do Thailand now."

  You know what paulson. Tell me one thing that Thailand has done good for Cambodia. I can yank out a long list of what Japan has done good for Cambodia. Japan built bridges for Cambodia, and Thailand? Nothing. Japan donated millions of dollars to Cambodia, and Thailand? Nothing. Thailand thought they helped Cambodians during the Pol Pot regime, but it didn't. I suggest you read some eye-witness accounts about the way Thai soldiers forced thousands of Cambodian refugees to walk across minefield to die at Preah Vihear. Google it, you'll see.

  paulson, I don't quite see the reasons of overloading with duplicate comments. I won't reiterate my comment.

  timorborder, yes I think Thai king is in this the whole time. The recent Thai coup was in fact initiated by him. The military made it very clear that they did it for Thai king. TV stations were taken off air and forced to play documentaries about its king. I believe the border issue was initiated by this old man as well. If you watch the video clips in the news. His son is seen controlling the military and giving orders at the very border.

  Thailand has a government that can't control anything. Two weeks ago, a group of protesters locked its PM, ministers and senators inside the House, and the government couldn't do anything about it. Because one false move would lead to another coup; thus, the end of Thai democracy. Thai PM had to jump over the nearby wall for his life. At the end of the day, they used tear gases, and now Thai king has ordered the Thai court to punish the Thai government for that.

  In short, Thai king has direct control over the military and the court. His words are orders that must be obeyed.

  Allow me to brief the story. Cambodia soldiers have always been around the Preah Vihear temple for a decade now after Khmer Rough surrendered after its occupation of the site for two decades. It was just in July 2008, Thai soldiers all of a sudden illegally entered Cambodia and claimed that the land was their. It was like a group of armed gangsters breaking into a civilian's house and demanded to hand over the cash and jewelries. The conflict goes tense since then as Thai soldiers refused to leave and kept encroaching further into Cambodia. Their boldest attempt was on October 03 2008 when Thai soldiers were on a mission to cut off the road from Cambodia side to Preah Vihear. They stepped on an old Cambodian landmine left over during the civil wars in Cambodia, yet managed to make up an excuse that Cambodia lays new landmines in their territory. Ok, this is when thing heats up.

  There have been numerous talks between Cambodia and Thailand's governments, but an agreement has never been reached. Thailand sent their Foreign Ministers to talk just to play along, as Thai military withholds the authority from Thai government from doing their jobs. It was the internal conflict of Thailand all along. Thai government now is nothing more than a powerless entity. It has the police but not the military.
