Map of Khmer Empire under Jayavarman VII in the 1200s, extended to Pagan (Burma) to the west, east to Champa, south to Malaysia and North extended to China. In the 1200s Thailand did not exist yet.The People's Alliance for Democracy Monday called on Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva to revoke the 1:200,000-scale map that demarcates the Thai-Cambodian border as per the 1907 treaty between Siam and France, and push Cambodian soldiers off Thai territory.
Pipop Thongchai, a PAD leader, said his group had submitted 11 documents detailing agreements signed between Thailand and Cambodia since the reign of King Rama V.
The group has also proposed that the government review eight issues that put the country at a disadvantage due to certain pacts signed by previous governments.

How can the present Thai government revoke the 1907 Treaty because it was signed more than 100 years ago. If Thailand cancel this treaty then Cambodia can lay claims to the whole of Thai territories because they used to be Khmer territories under the Khmer Empire before the 12th century.
You right...
Khmer Empire was established before the born of Thailand. If Thailand revoke it, How France face the world? It doesn't only worsen the Cambodian and Thailand relationship, it would worsen relationship between Thailand and US. I believe the US and UK would not agree with this stupid thing.
Also, it is the international issue, I really so sad if most countries in the world view Thailand as a stubborn kid.
Sorry I correct mine:
