Thailand lost the Preah Vihear case convincingly in 1962

[The key evidences that dismantle Thailand's case in 1962]
ICJ Report 1962, 22. (emphasis added).

The Court found that this was exactly what Thailand (and Cambodia) had done; for instance, as the Court pointed out, the following facts supported that Thailand had adopted the Maps: ;

- Siam's official wide circulation of the Map,
- Siam asked France for more copies of the map,(50 copies )
- The silence of the Siamese members of the Mixed Commission, who saw the map
- The silence of the then governor of Khukhan province (now Sisaket), who saw the Map.

The Parties thus accepted the map and the line on it. The Court held "the acceptance of the Annex I map by the parties caused the map to enter the treaty settlement [1904] and to become an integral part of it [the 1904 Treaty]" .

Conclusion: Siam never protested of the Annex I Map and had accepted and asked for 50 copies of that map and therefore deemed to have accepted the 1904 convention and 1907 treaty and as such Preah Vihear belong to Cambodia.
