The Nation
The following is the full text of intervention by Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva responding to the Thailand-Cambodia issue during the plenary session on 7 May 2011 in Jakarta.
"Allow me to respond to the statement made by Prime Minister Hun Sen.
Thailand recognizes full well that any conflict between ASEAN Member States can undermine ASEAN's community-building efforts.
I can therefore categorically state that Thailand has no intention whatsover to engage in any conflict with neighbours and countries in the region.
The border disputes between Thailand and Cambodia, like many other disputes, are long-standing. In this case, the borders have been delimited by various Treaties such as the Siamese-French Convention of 1904 and the Siamese-French Treaty of 1907. There have also been subsequent developments which have raised disagreements.
I apologize for taking time to explain this issue. This matter can be resolved bilaterally. We welcome ASEAN's facilitating role and appreciate Indonesia's facilitation in this regard. There are some technical issues to be addressed. If there is good faith, then our house can be set in order.
I welcome the offer of our host to hold a meeting with Cambodia and Thailand - I have no problems discussing this issue with Prime Minister Hun Sen. This will allow for a good understanding of what really happened in the past few months."

Kingdom of Thailand
The first Thai Kingdom known to history was Nan-Chao, located near what is now Yunnan, which resisted the southward thrust of successive Chinese dynasties from roughly the 7th through the 12th centuries. However, it was shattered by the Mongol conquest in the 13th century. This latter event speeded a southward movement of Thai peoples that had been going on gradually for several centuries. Minor Thai kingdoms appear in what is now northern Thailand as early as the 11th century. In the 13th century, the Kingdom of Sukothai, although its capital was in the north, claimed control of much of the central and south of present-day Thailand, and frequently clashed with the Khmer. In 1350 the Kingdom of Ayudhya, forerunner of the present Thai state, was founded on the lower reaches of the Chao Phraya river. The present capital was founded in 1782 by the first king of the present (Chakri) dynasty. In their southward movement, the Thai displaced and, to a degree, assimilated the Mon people, and drove out the representatives of the Khmer. Conflicts became sharper as the Thai pushed their control eastward, even raiding several times the ancient capital of Angkor Wat, which the Khmer abandoned to the jungle in the 15th century.

Simply,there are 40% Khmer words in Thai language and there are 100% of Khmer alphabets in Thai language that would explain everything about how Thai have stole , robbed Khmer kingdom and fake Khmer history to become a disgraceful nation as it is now.
Do you believe that Preavihear Temple was built by Khmer king and it is now being claimed by Thai for the land that is annex to it?.Is that mean the temple will have no ground to access to it if we have to lose that 4.6 Km2? Is it logic?
Temple without ground.......!!!!!!
