The Thai parliament is to debate a draft Khmer-Thai border agreement today (Wednesday 2nd September) when the debate was postponed on Monday, after the opposition parties grilled the government on border issues with Cambodia.

Minister of Defence Prawit Wongsuwan was unable to answer the questions when he was grilled by opposition MPs and the debate was abruptly cancelled by the Speaker of the parliament, Mr. Chai Chidchob.

Mr. Chai Chidchob, who is also a Khmer Surin, said the debate was postponed to Wednesday in order to give more time to the Defence Minister to prepare his answers.

I don't think the Thai MPs will vote to approve the agreement. The Thai politicians are playing cats and mouse with Cambodia. They treated Cambodia like a child.

On a lighter note. Does anybody notice the name of this Speaker of the Thai Parliament, Chai Chidchob? If it is translated to Khmer, it means his heart and mind are nearly coming to the end.

I would think that his surname Chidchop means a "likable mind/heart".

Anyway, likable or not, he is a Thai in heart and mind and he will always work to advance the interests of Thailand, not Cambodia- the land of his ancestors.

I thought Thai Chidchob,..... I mean Chai Chidchob means " LICE/FLEA'S TERMS IS ALMOST END". Haahaaaha...... He's a servant of Thailand long enough, he'll be used for the last time to get any land he can grab from Cambodia. So I think Thailand is just using him to send subliminal messages to Khmer that something is "CHIDCHOB HAEY". But what is Chidchob Thai or Khmer?

I think it is a Thai name. Chai means "mind/heart" and Chidchob, if I'm not wrong, it means "a likable heart", but I could be wrong.

But if it is a Khmer name like you saud, then Chai means "lice/fleas" and Chidchob means "nearly end".
