Mr. Kasit Piromya, the Thai Foreign Minister, had led a delegation of 17 officials to visit Koh Kong on 16th May, reports Koh Santepheap newspaper.

According Koh Kong border officials, on 14th of May the Thai border Committee from Trat province sent a letter to Khmer Border Committee for Koh Kong requesting for an official visit to Koh Kong by Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya, but the request was rejected on the morning of 16th May.

According to Koh Santepheap, on the morning of 16th May, the Thai side made another request to allow Mr. Kasit's delegation to enter Koh Kong in a private visit by using their passports as travel documents.

On the afternoon of the same day, 14 Thai delegation from Thailand plus Thai embassy staff from Phnom Penh entered Koh Kong with many Cambodian officials waiting to receive them, including tycoon-senator Ly Yong Phat.

The Thai-Cambodian delegation went to inspect border pillar 73, which is situated in an overlapping area nea Chaim Yeam International Checkpoint. At 2:2o pm, the delegation travelled to National Route 48 and Tropeang Rung Bridge built with Thai money, about 50 kilometres from the provincial town of Koh Kong. The delgation had only travelled half way when a heavy rain poured down accompanied with thunders and lightnings. Witnesses said that lightnings struck repeatedly close to Mr. Kasit's car as if to chase him away. After heavy raining, the Thai delegation decided to return back to Thailand without reaching their intended destinations, says Koh Santepheap.

According to unofficiall sources, the purpose of the Thai delegation's visit to Koh Kong was to try to find a solution to borders issues, especially the areas from border pillars 71 t0 73, stretching from Klong Yai to the coast.

to all KI readers,

please beware, Soy Sopheap of DAP news is an imposter. He's a CPP member and Hun Sen's "Ass Kisser on CTN!" DAP is owned by him and secretly funded by the CPP gang. DAP is located next door to Phnom Penh City Hall - which is now sold to CamKo Company.

KI Media should stop posting DAP "BS" propagada news!

6:38 AM You're so right! Ah Soy Sopheap is just a talking parrot of CPP with no ethics as a journalist at all. His news is full of superstitious nonsense bullshits. Only those twits in primary schools believe that this story is true.

Wake up chumps, U khmers live in stone age for too damn long!

News are news. They are not opinion or propaganda. As long as Khmerization or KI report only DAP's news and not DAP's opinion, I'm OK with it.
