The Thai oppositions have grilled the Thai Defence Minister, Mr. Prawit Wongsuwan (pictured), over border disputes with Cambodia when they accused the Thai government of not registering a complaint with Cambodia when the latter constructed roads to the temple of Preah Vihear.

During a parliamentary debates on Khmer-Thai draft agreement on border demarcation on Monday and Wednesday, the Thai oppositions grilled the Defence Minister about the border disputes with Cambodia causing the Monday debates to be postponed to Wednesday to allow the Defence Minister more time to prepare for his answers. The Thai oppositions also accused Cambodia of constructing roads inside Thai territories.

Mr. Koy Kuong, spokesman for the Cambodian Foreign Ministry, said the roads were built inside Khmer territories and that the Thai oppositions' accusations stemmed from them using the maps unilaterally drawn by Thailand. However, he said this is Thai internal politics.

Mr. Phay Siphan, spokesman for the Cambodian Council of Ministers, said the Thai MPs should help to facilitate the draft ageement in order to help speed up the technical works of the Khmer-Thai Joint Boundary Commission to begin demarcating the borders.

The Thai parliament on Wednesday has voted to approve the Khmer-Thai draft border agreement.

There it is. It seems like, anything Cambodia does for Cambodia is a problem for Thailand. Thailand is microscoping and profiling Cambodia for any little thing to make a reason to provoke Cambodia.

Thailand should be changed to Troublemakerland.

The 1908 maps put the areas where roads were built inside Cambodia. If Thailand is a law-abiding country it should honor the treaty that their king signed with Cambodia in 1904, 1906, 1907 and 1908.

It doesn't mean that because Thailand is stronger than Cambodia militarily, it can always bully Cambodia to accept what it want.

Why can't Thailand of today come to terms with the 1908 maps accepted by their king between 1904-1908?

That's a funny crazy subject caused by Thailand/Siem.

If one country can easily build on another territory, surly, I want to build my own house in Their Royal Palace to be my own.
