Thailand will not dance to Cambodia's tune by withdrawing troops from the disputed Preah Vihear temple area, Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva says.

Mr Abhisit said yesterday more pressure would be put on Cambodia next week.

Cambodia's removal of troops from the area was just a tactical ploy, he said. Phnom Penh wanted to give the appearance there were no problems relating to its plans to develop the ancient Hindu temple as a World Heritage site.

"It is their plan and we are not going in that direction," Mr Abhisit said, after a meeting with Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya.

Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen ordered the withdrawal of the 911 special forces unit from its post at the temple. The pullout ceremony was held in Siem Reap yesterday where Hun Sen and fomer Thai prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra met with 60 Puea Thai Party MPs and other Thaksin supporters.

The troop withdrawal came amid increasing tensions between the two neighbours which have escalated since Hun Sen appointed Thaksin as an economic adviser to his government and also his personal adviser. The ensuing diplomatic spat worsened on Thursday when Cambodia expelled a senior Thai envoy, which caused Mr Kasit to cut short his visit to Singapore.

Mr Abhisit said the government was reviewing projects with Cambodia and some of them might be put forward to the cabinet for consideration next week.

He said the government was not distracted by the diplomatic spat with Cambodia and its diplomatic response was in line with proper procedure.

LOL! Cambodian are weak and scared. I guess Thailand Own them now!

Neither side will wage war against each others. Hun Sen was just poking fun at Abhasit and that dumbarsss have been reacting like an angry man. It was a diversion tactic, created by Abhasit's government. So ordinary people will focus on Cambodia instead of corruption in his government, muslim south, massive loans and his bad economic policy.

Buddhalove, I told you to stay in your room.
Why come playing here.
Your mom will get mad at you when she come home.

Cambodia goerment jst tried to save money by pull back the troop. So now the patch is clear the PAD should plan for the next holiday around Prehviharn area. I am sure if that happen the Khmer troop will get close to the border again.

hunsen want a war to happen, but hes waiting for thai to make the first move.

Abhisit will not fall into Hun Sen's trap.
Although Kasit always move quick, Abhisit is very calm.

There is a reason why, despite his young, Abhisit is chosen as the leader of Democrat, the oldest party in Thailand.

Abhisit is very quiet during the past 2 days, the last time he was so quiet like this was when he managed the red-shirt riot in Bangkok during Songkran festival and the red-shirt never dare to repeat it in Bangkok ever since

I suggest Hun Sen t be more prepared to handle the strike back from Abhisit after the US-ASEAN summit

The diffence between Hun Sen and Abhisit is that Abhisit has to carefully react so that it will not afffect people in both countries, while Hun Sen don't care much about his people

He not expect to win the war ,it just apart of bargain.


PS : When Hunsen offshore he is so quiet espacially in Japan ,he is not lound as in his homeland

It's obvious that Hun Sen didn't pulled troops out of Preah Vihear for no reasons at all. He could be using some of those troops to safeguard Thaksin, while at the same time maybe Abhisit will take the bait and bite again by taking the opportunity to invade Preah Vihear, just like you've said.

Hun Sen is having too much fun toying around with Abhisit.

Your idea is very childish.
Tell me why Abhisit's govt has to invade Preah Vihear???

The only possible scenario is that Hun Sen withdraw his troop and bomb area near Preah Vihear and blame it to Thailand's army . The same old plot he always used

Oh, it's the same assasination plot Thugsin always used in Bangkok.
Both of them think alike like what mohanokor said.

OK for peace sake lets the PAD will arange some Concert for u guys. On the top of Prehvihear. Please dont bring the troop back ok?

Don't be ridiculous. You should know that this is all a political game.

Hun Sen only pulled out a small pocket of troops along Preah Vihear border during Thaksins visit. It is a move, a game of chess and a simple one. You should be glad that Abhisit saw through this one and for once he actually looked smart. Also, when is Thailand ever going to compensate Cambodians for destroying their markets on the Cambodian side during the small skirmish at Preah Vihear awhile back ago? You know what I'm talking about.

Withdrawing troops from Preah Vihear Temple is not Hun Sen ideas i guess Thaksin gave him some advice about this.

Actually, thai citizens around Prea Vihear don't want to see PAD and they have been beating the shi!t out of them for the past gathering.

Only people that support PAD and Sonthi kheekha. Jek Sonthi, the crook that used to call Thaksin best prime minister. He loves to switch sides when things don't serve him well.

Hun Sen didn't pull all the troops out. He only pull out some of the elite forces there, about a thousand troops only. Prior to that, according to Thai sources, Cambodia had about 5 thousand troops near Preah Vihear Temple. If Cambodia pulled out one thousand troops, then about 4 thousand troops are currently in that area.

Anyways, it is just a tactic by Hun Sen since Thaksin's visit to Cambodia made so much international attention, by Hun Sen pulling back the troops, is only showing to the international community, that Thailand is the aggressor because Abhisit was quick to respond to Hun Sen's action by saying that he will not pull out troops there.

Cambodia was minus one thousand troops. What the hell was Abhisit thinking? He should of attacked Preah Vihear and get it over with. Hun Sen even gave him the go-ahead and the kid can't even follow through. Pity...

What ever it is, I smelled Pra Hoh...I think both Thai and Khmer should go to wars. I'm of Thai national, but my bet is only Khmer!!

So we need some concert for peace, lets rock on the rock temple

If Thailand and Cambodia goes to war I think it would just be a disputed border between the two nation.

Both sides would not go to war as long as either one doesn't not loose their mind.

And guess which side is at their most happiest and dandiest?

The only problem is that the PAD was the one who over-reacted the first place. They even walk towards the temple and protest and this is how it become an issue all of the sudden.

Tell me, AzenTiger,

You called what PAD did "overreact" and what do you call the way Khmers burnt Thailand's embassy just because of a comment of one stupid movie star?

Oh, I know. You would call the embassy's burning "appropriate civilized reaction" right?

Very true. All they had to do was stay behind their line and just voice their opinion. But then they have to go cross the line and turn Cambodia and Thailand relationship spiraling. Even the villagers on their side of the border tried to stop them from causing problems.


The comment of one stupid movie star is now history and the damage to Thai embassy has already been compensated. So, why are you still holding grudges? You know, Thailand still haven't compensated Khmer villagers when Thai troops burnt their markets to the ground on Cambodia soil during the Preah Vihear skirmish. The damage and costs isn't even compared to the Thai embassy.

All I have to say is this only cause more trouble in the region. If Thailand wants peace in the region they should start out with there neighbors firstt before anywhere else.
