Current government mix country patriots with pleasure doesn't matter how cordial current Thai government is it not going to last for ever sooner or latter the Preah Vihear temple will pop up in Thai politics.
Thai have been brainwash for century and it will not fix the matter in 1 year, to solve Preah Vihear issue will take a lot of courage and morality to solve it.do Thai have what it take to achieve peaceful solution , history have proved it Thai prefer to fight than negotiate if Thai was the good neighbor this a little issue wouldn't happen .
Secondly current Cambodian government take the issue to lightly and don't have the deterrence for the Thai to back off as long the issue is die down Cambodian government is doing nothing to solve the issue and let the issue drag on.
Thai have nothing to lose and and may gain enormous benefit from it,Thai always speak without shame or morality " Preah Vihear belong to Thailand".
