In mid June, 2008 a group of Thai nationalists staged a protest in front of the Preah Vihear temple asking the Thai army to evict the Cambodians from their village near the Preah Vihear temple. On the 15th of July, 2008, three Thai protesters jumped fence into Cambodian territories and were arrested by the Khmer border guards which culminated into the Thai invasion of the Preah Vihear areas where Thailand maintained their troops until today.Everyday.com

The Social and Economic Advisory Council of Thailand has appealed to the Thai government to take firm actions against Cambodia which this council accused of allowing its citizens to live on Thai territories.
Mr.Suwanchai Saengsuk-iam, secretary of the Preah Vihear Task Force of the above council, has told a Thai newspaper that the Thai government must pressure the Cambodian government to evict the Cambodian people from the Thai territories immediately and unconditionally.
The evictions are aimed at those Cambodian citizens who set up stalls and shops along the road leading to the Preah Vihear temple and those Cambodians who live in the areas surrounding the Preah Vihear temple. This council has asked the Thai government to put further pressures on Cambodia to evict those Cambodian people who live in the areas they considered as “disputed”. This council wants Thailand to maintain troops in the Preah Vihear areas and it asked Thailand not to reduce the numbers of troops in the areas.
Please not that, the area where the Cambodian people set up stalls and shops to sell souvenirs near the staircase of the Preah Vihear temple is a Cambodian territory, so the above council’s ignorant claims and its request for Cambodia to evict Cambodians from the Khmer territory is shameless.

We will continue to boycott Thai products. Indeed, they are shameless. The Thai try so hard to gain every centimeter of land from Khmer.

Dear Blog by Khmer,
It's nice to hear from you. I believe that Thailand has gone too far regarding the Preah Vihear issue. The Cambodian govt. must be vigilant and must strengthen the border protection at the Preah Vihear areas. We must remember that, last June there was the same demand from the Thai protesters to evict the Khmer villagers from the areas and one month later, on 15th July, 2008, Thai troops invaded the areas and stayed there until today.
