A ceasefire agreement to Siam meaning they need time to reload their weapons that all.
Cambodia just merely trying to defend her frontier. There is no such thing as "disputed area" as the Thai solely claimed. World Court awarded Prasat Preah Vihear and area surrounded the temple to Cambodia. Aggressor Thais need to unconditionally withdraw their troops from Cambodia soil.

The 1907 treaty, the 1908 maps, the 1962 world court verdict have all put the so-called "disputed territory" inside Cambodia. So it means that all areas claimed by Thailand are actually Khmer territories. The only way is Cambodia taking the matter to the world court and ask it to re-interpret the 1962 verdict and ask the Thais the leave the areas.
Killed them, occupied their trenches, and claim them as our land for negotiation. We do this until we reached Siskaet.
