The border showdown between Thai and Cambodian troops has eased in recent weeks. Soldiers on both sides of the disputed terrain remain locked in a staring contest. Only occasionally do shoot-outs and shelling punctuate the bouts of dull downtime.
But, according to the Bangkok Post's senior military reporter, Thai troops have found a non-violent means of pecking away at the Cambodian rivals' morale. They're feeding them.
Noting the Cambodians' meager food rations -- typically just sardines and sticky rice -- Thai officers occasionally welcome across the divide to a Thai-style lunch: grilled chicken, cola and laab mu, a chili-sprinkled minced pork dish.
"Our soldiers share their food such as canned fish and snacks, particularly doughnuts," reporter Wassana Nanuam quotes a colonel as saying. "Some Cambodian soldiers have never eaten doughnuts before."
I suppose it's harder to shoot a man who's offered you doughnuts.
But we should remember that this account of culinary psy-ops only offers the Thai-side view. The Cambodian troops, many hardened from the brutal Khmer Rogue era, could just as easily accuse the Thais of confusing a military stand-off with a picnic.
Still, if I was deployed to a grinding border showdown with no end in sight, I'd rather be on the side with the minced pork than the one handing out dried fish.

Why not after they offer you the doughnuts and a man want to f... your wife or want to steal your land in this case.
it a pure propaganda who will believe this? only Thais.
So Thai soldiers offered ex Khmer rouge fighters foods and then Wassana Nanuam finally offered them her pussy the size of doughnut hole ? or the hole of her pussy is a doughnut size?
I'm kind of a little confused here.

4:01 AM, it is the news and it can also remind Cambodian leaders to investigate if the Thai claims are true. You have to remember that many Cambodian soldiers have claimed before that they didn't have enough to eat and that they got sick for drinking dirty water in Ta Krabey area before. If the Thai claims are not true, then Cambodian leaders have to show evidence and if Thai claims are true, then we have to provide our brave soldiers with enough food. We have to look after them for defending our territory, not neglecting them.
