The returning of 7 pieces of Khmer artifacts from Thailand attestified unarguable that Thailand is the land of THIEFS. They stole everything from Khmer including peuple, land, temples, artifacts, civilization ....ect.
In fact they do not want to handover the artifacts to Cambodia. Thanks to the technical commitee who showed the unarguable evidences and forced them to handover.
Look at the face of Kasit Piromya, while shakes hands with Hor Nam Hong, then you will see how he feel. He feel as a real great THIEF of the THIEFS.
Here is a comment from a reader:
"The Statute's face and the Thai Foreign Minister's, (second picture from bottom). Are they related.?"
There are 24 pieces of stolen artefacts. Thailand only agreed to return 7 pieces. The rest, 17 pieces, Thailand refused to return to Cambodia. This is a sheer theft by Thailand of Cambodian artefacts.
