Thai villagers from Nong Chan village, Nong Mak Moun commune in Kok Soung (Kok Tyoung in Khmer) in Sakeo province have told Thai PM Abhisit Vejjajiva that a pond dug by the UN Relief Agency in 1975 for Cambodian refugees fleeing the Khmer Rouge regime is situated under Cambodian sovereignty.
On 31st January, 10 Thai villagers from Nong Chan village met with Mr. Abhisit at his office in Bangkok when they told him that the pond was situated under Cambodian sovereignty, contrary to Thai claim that the pond is situated under Thai sovereignty.
Mr. Thara Sirawieng, a Thai villager from Nong Chan, said the pond, when measured and surveyed from border post Nos. 46-47, it is located inside Cambodia adjoining "an overlapping area" claimed by both countries. He added that those who want to farm on the "overlapping area" must use peaceful negotiation to end the border problems and must wait until the demarcation works between the two countries are completed first.
At the same time, he calls on those who are stirring up the border problems (the yellow shirts) to consider about the happiness and peace of the local villagers and don't use the people living along the border as hostages.

This thai PM has alot of problems with history. Where he get his education from? Don't even know his own roots.
He is Oxford-educated.
Well, many of the villages like Nong Chan, Kok Tyoung (Kok Soung in Thai) and many other areas around there were Khmer territories in the 1980s and were used by refugees and the resistance forces as their bases. After the refugees and the resistance troops returned to Cambodia in the early in 1990s the Thai soldiers moved in and took control of the areas. Site 2 and site 8 camps were all Khmer refugee centers located in Khmer territories, but now all controlled by Thai troops.
