Taking a spying case to ICJ ? OMG. Give me a break !! The world knows it is a desperate move by Thai playing tit-for-tat against Cambodia. "If it is fabrication, why did Cambodia try to contact us for help in obtaining their release?" Mr Abhisit said. Abhisit is a real idiot making such comments like that.
It look like the curious tourists want to see the scenes of past battle .
The Thai Cambodia war, however was accompanied by Thai propaganda from many angles.The Thai government's attempts to deepening diplomatic row with Cambodia over the arrested of Cambodia citizen appeared on Thai mainstream media the case have been try by Thai media and Thai PM as the judge.
Thailand turned up the heat in the propaganda war with Cambodia .
described as "deeply concerning over Thailand negative noises". had been gleaned from reports in the Thai media than through official diplomatic channels in the past year.
The story it doesn't seem to get connected to the spy case. three men with different nationality different background carrying maps with them were arrested and charged as spies. The Thai government should immediately ban all sales of Thailand maps restrict access to all military installation. It should also keep tourists out those areas. International community should be aware of where they can travel and what they can carry with them while traveling in Thailand.
The three men found together to spy on the military installation bunkers or the tourists happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time,the Thai foreign Ministry spokesman Jessada Katawethin yesterday said no legal action will be taken against the three men without clear evidence." the Thai government wants the world to believe that for once it will not abuse it judicial power?.
Cambodia would be concern about their own citizen get detain especially in Thailand. Cambodian officials concern about it own people is normal. Even, the Thai government made several attempt to secure the release of its own people from Cambodia.
