Wrangling over revenues from joint offshore oil reserves was expected to remain a hot topic during Thai caretaker Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra's visit to Cambodia, local media in Phnom Penh reported Wednesday.
Speculation that talks over oil and gas will take precedence was fuelled by reports in local Khmer-language media Wednesday that Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister Sok An and Secretary-General of the
National Oil Authority Te Duong Dara had just returned from discussions on the topic in Bangkok and Dara had indicated that the issue was not yet resolved.
The two neighboring nations are disputing what ratio each should be awarded from the so-called Joint Development Area that lies between them in the Gulf of Thailand.
Cambodia has demanded a far greater share of lucrative potential oil and gas reserves than Thailand has so far been willing to concede.
Thaksin will meet with Prime Minister Hun Sen on Thursday and also receive an audience with King Norodom Sihamoni during the one-day visit. Border issues are also expected to be discussed, according to a statement from the Cambodian Foreign Ministry.
Full Version: Oil's a Hot Topic in Cambodian Talks with Thailand
I do hope we resolve this issue soon.
For a minute, I thought it was about Oil Thana...lol 
Well, I reckon Thailand can give a little more to Cambodia since Thailand is already well off. I think that would be nice.

that would also soften thai-khmer relationship ... and it would probably lift the ban on thai media in cambodia as well ..
ban on entertainment? Thats too harsh.
remember that thai pop star who DIDNT say "angkor belongs to thais" ?
Cambodia boycotted and banned all thai media from the country and took in Singapore and other asian media ...
so what im saying is if thais do something accordingly along the lines of miss luver's suggestion, maybe cambodia might LIFT the ban on thai media ..

What are you trying to say?
Im saying maybe a couple of million pounds of rice to Cambodia might change this 'media ban' policy. Thailand can spare a couple million pounds of rice, dude. We're the world's LARGEST exporter of rice.

India to displace Viet Nam as world’s second biggest rice exporter after Thailand
20 Jun 2002 -- Bangkok, 20 June 2002 (Food and Agriculture Organization) – Competitive prices, timely monsoon rains and surplus stocks have set India on course to become the world’s second largest rice exporter this year after Thailand, the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) said in a new global rice market report released here today.
Lower export prices coupled with yet another anticipated bumper paddy harvest and the expected surge in imports by Indonesia and China, will enable the South Asian nation to displace Viet Nam as the number two rice exporting nation, FAO’s Rice Market Monitor forecasts. Despite a projected decline of nearly 2 million tonnes in the 2002 paddy harvest, India is estimated to more than double its previous year exports to 3.6 million tonnes in 2002, says the report.
According to latest information available from international rice brokers, rice merchants and national sources, Indian 25% rice was traded at US$132 per tonne in the international market. This was US$45 cheaper than its nearest competitor, Thai rice. The Indian export rice variety, India PR 106 25%, traded at almost half its last year’s price, in contrast to the sharp increase in the export prices of rice from the other nations.
International rice prices have shown “unusual strength” in May 2002, due largely to the continuing government procurement programme in Thailand and tightening supplies in Pakistan and Viet Nam. The rise has also been sustained by fears that current tensions between India and Pakistan could disrupt world supplies, says the FAO report.
Thailand is set to surpass its record 2001 export by 100 000 tonnes, shipping some 7.6 million tonnes
in 2002 despite a decline in paddy production estimated at 24.6 million tonnes, against 25.3 million tonnes last year. Superior quality Thai rice is trading at much higher prices, with the Thai 100% B surpassing the US$200 per tonne benchmark for the first time in two years.
Viet Nam is estimated to maintain its export level at 3.5 million tonnes – the same as in 2000 and 2001. Overseas sales by the other main exporters – China and Pakistan – are expected to drop sharply by 400 000 and nearly 1 million tonnes respectively.
Declining Chinese exports over the past two years parallel the continuing slump in national rice production which plunged sharply in 2001. The 2002 paddy harvest in the world’s biggest rice producer is estimated to be 400 000 tonnes less than the 178.7 million tonnes last year.
FAO has revised upward rice production estimates for Asia following expectations of timely arrival of monsoon rains and latest predictions of a much weaker ‘El Nino’ than forecast earlier this year. “While the possibility of another El Nino still looms over production prospects in a number of countries, specialised climate centres recently predicted a slow evolution toward el Nino conditions by the end of the year that would feature much weaker impacts than experienced in 1997-98,” notes the FAO report.
As a result, current estimates for the 2002 paddy harvest are higher than those released in May 2002 for Cambodia (4.3 million tonnes), India (134 million tonnes) and Myanmar (21 million tonnes). In Thailand, while recent abundant rains have allayed fears of a severe El Nino, “some weather disruptions over the course of the paddy season are still anticipated, which could depress output somewhat”, says the FAO report.
However, fears of adverse weather have led the Government of Indonesia to double its rice import requirements in 2002 to 3 million tonnes over last year.

^He doesn't want to go...lol
LOL. Point Dexter, you ask as if we controlled him.
How about we send 2 squadrons of our A-10 planes to the border to 'secure' peaceful demarcation? Maybe the security provided would be significant enough to help lift this unfair 'ban' on Thai entertainment.

Perhaps this goes to show that thai media relies heavily on cambodian viewers? If it's such a loss to thai media's revenues, maybe they should do something drastic like ... expand to cambodia where they cater to kherm viewers by using khmer actors, khmer language make it look like it's virtually everything khmai, but behind the scene, an actual thai-owned buisness like moyura .... or whatsit called ..... dam i forgot
Sounds like plan. Problem is...whose gonna do that? lol

Oooo!
Theres no way Thailand will make concessions on our naval territoriality. Who ever rules the seas, makes naval dictation. Thats my say.
^The greed of a Siem person!
No not the greed, but the national interests of Thailand. As a nation with a population of a booming 70 million people, a growing intake of natural resources such as hydorelectric power, natural gas, petroleum and wind/solar energy--its rather pivotal that the Royal Thai Navy secure the maritime boundaries of Thailand and preserve the status quo.
Thailand's progress must not be hindered by concessions of maritime territoriality--and quite frankly, ceding naval juridiction to the Cambodian government, is rather narcisstic when it cocerns that area of the Gulf of Thailand.
I see no future concessions, quite frankly--it is an imperative directive that the Royal Thai Fleet maintain its hegemonic presence in the area. Force dictates terms of diplomacy. Remember that, thats how the world works.
Royal Fleet in patrol in eastern gulf of thailand.
Royal Thai Fleet in combat exercise close to the cambodian border
Thailand and Cambodia should just maintain the status quo.

I think that what's been said is that Cambodia and Thailand has agreed to split the disputed zone into 3, at least for the purposes of drilling. The third closest to Thailand will have an 85:15 share of profits in favour of Thailand. The middle third will be given a 50:50 share. Finally, the last third will be given a share ratio of 85:15, in favour of Cambodia. That's pretty fair in my opinion, especially seeing as Thailand initially offered Cambodia 10%, and Cambodia initially offered Thailand 40%.
Unacceptable. The area of contention is clearly under Thai naval jurisdiction.
As I said before, concessions is out of the question. Thailand will never allow it. At this point, Thailand needs to maintain our territorial space; Thailand's Naval maritime borders will not change; so long as we rule the seas in the Gulf of Thailand--there will be no such 'concession'. Force dictates policy.
As I have reiterated many times in the past and as international policies have precured in multiple examples.

First of all Thai has has no right about Cambodian oil, because it belong to the Cambodia and what ever the Khmer drills it is ours. Let put this how long have you been drilling the ground for and Khmer said nothing about it? Thai people better get real on reality and ownership of others nation.

On the contrary, Thailand has rejected most of Cambodia's claims:
