the new age begins in thailand ..., page-52

Hey Brad, no documentation sorry. Friend is a local policeman in Surin reported it. Perhaps also because Cambodians were using weaponry that came from Vietnam, that Cambodians were never known to own. No doubt Thailand could/ did easily defend. But still was a concern at the time.

Reasons? Not sure but me thinks Thaksin working with Hun Sen at the time drummed up support. Also I don't think Vietnam would have looked kindly at Abhisit's aggressive strategy toward solving the temple/ border disputes. When Abhisit came in him and his yellow shirts party would not recognize the previous world heritage signing of Preah Viharn hence it all boiled over. I believe the change in gov will mean peace as the previous red shirt government under Thaksin were working cooperatively and peacefully with Cambodia, signing the shared world heritage listing of Preah Viharn.
