nombaingsachko, or better known as "banh mi" lol. I'm not sucking up to anybody, I'm just saying how it is.

Why don't Laotians and Khmers encourage their brothers in Issan to rise up, fight for their rights of separation and rejoining Laos and Cambodia? Why are those 20 million+ remaining quiet?

The Muslims in the south will cause much more trouble for Thailand in the years to come. Thailand either have more instability or have to let them have self-determination and maybe united with Malaysia.

Thailand shouldn't be a country that it is today in the first place; the economy is controlled by the Chinese, there are over 20 million Lao and Khmers in Issan and the Muslims dominate the 4 southern provinces.

The esarn people of north eastern Thailand are of the Tai ethnic group; which is the foundation basis of the Siamic expansion during the 19th century and centuries previous that. As well, the esarn people are Thai nationals and have been heavily assimilated into Thai culture and society. They are as Thai as the people of Lop Buri, Lampong, Sayabouri, Nakorn Ratchasima, Nakorn Si Thammarat, Songkhla , Pattani, Yala, Phuket, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Nong Khai, etc. The Thai people are an integrated people and the sense of nationhood and societal standards have been placated into their minds that overwhelms the minor ethnic differences of some people within Thailand.

I say to you, look at the nation of India. The Republic of India is a republic that is composed of multi faceted states with variances in ethnic groups; ranging from the rajputs to the north west, the tamils of the south, the bengalis of the west, and the nagas and the dais of the far eastern corners of India. Yes, like Thailand, they are of different ethnic groups, but they all share the common bond and ideology of nationhood and nationality. THAT is what makes nations work. That is why India, although has rebellions in the side, remain strong and functionally integrated. This is the same with Thailand; yes the people within the kingdom are composed of multi ethnics, but a large proportion of them are of the Tai ethnic stock; the esarn people are the same as the Siamese as well as the Shan; they are all Tai groups. As for the Surin in eastern Thailand; the level of intermixing and intermarriages have been profound. They are Thai and consider themselves Thai. Why do you think there is a lack of insurgency and insurrection in surin and esarn regions? They are content and their standard of living is increasing.

In conclusion, I would like to reiterate that national identity and the sense of nationhood is pivotal for man, and this pretext is heavily observed in south east asia.

i am waiting for the day when thailand completely falls.. us khmers will be secretly cheering for those muslims.. they have the right to self-determination and they will succeed.. beerchug.gif hopefully issan does the same.. if issan grow enough balls to rebel against the siems, the khmer surin would most likely follow.. issan population is over 20 million strong.. whats there to lose?

Unrealistic, pathetic and morose prophetics such as this is something that cannot be debated over appropriately. It is the innate psychological stubbornness of some people to accept the present situation and the realities of a particular environment that leads them to incite flagrant belief that some 'divine' or 'prophecy' will be observed.

Ridiculous and utterly undebatable.

@ Happy Asian, I doubt the legitimacy of the picture of Cambodian SA-7s; they look like Vietnamese infantry with the shape of their helmet. Are you sure this isnt the Vietnamese Army in parade after the fall of Phnom Penh?

[Happy Asian]

^My sources say its Cambodian.

@ happy asian, where did u find these pictures??? GOogle??? Im kinda curious

[Jez_C]

Ambassador Joseph A. Mussomeli and General Meas Sophea, Deputy
Commander in Chief and Army Commander, reviewing the Royal Cambodian
Armed Forces (RCAF) personnel in attendance.

General Meas Sophea. I've met him on 3 separate occasions.. once back in 1999 when I went to Cambodia, and 2 other occasions when he's come to England and stayed with me and my parents.. I will try and dig up a photo or two if I can.

Really? Id like it if you posted some pictures. Thanks.

I find it intersting how Thailand's military headress is quite similar to that of Cambodia's. I suppose the cambodian military body borrowed Thai designs.


Cambodian Army General Head dress


Thai Army General's Head dress

It is simply coincidental. The Royal Cambodian Army headress is directly based off the Cambodian Royal Seal which is the hallmark of Khmer Royalty:



On the seal; it reads: Preahreachanachak Kampuchea= Kingdom of Cambodia.

It is also included in the background of our father king, Samdech Oev, Norodom Sihaknouk's website: http://norodomsihanouk.info

LOL siri, I think the borrowing is vice versa. Not to be offensive or anything but we thais and khmers are so similar for instance when u say Khmer its just like saying Thai because the end pronounciation is the same. As for the headress, no one can say it is Thai or Khmer because it is both?

[LBCfinest]

wow, the khmer miliatary looks so coo.
