Written byMong Palatino
Real Cambodia notes that mobile phone users are sending text messages to assert Cambodia's ownership of the Preah Vihear Temple. Thailand is also claiming the historic site.

Hey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It’s so strange that thai never nown their own history. How stupid is that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It should of known by now that Preah Vihear temple is Khmer’s. It’s so sad for thai people to have done such a shamefull action to Cambodia. Purity is never be mixed, Thai used to be pirats they should stay quiet and pleased with what they have now, they had stold loads and loads of Knmer’s properties especially teritory such as Khmer Leu (Khmer sorin) isn’t that Khmer’s teritory? If I were thai I would have been extremely ashame to live in this world. It is absolutely bustard and arrogant to have said the very uneducated and stupid words to the khmers. YOU ARE LUNITIC people. I am strong oposed and denied all the thai’s comment on MY TEMPLE.
To a Thai,
What rule? The rule is not set by Cambodians and I don know who posts the topic; his name and his background suggest that he is not a khmer.
Although some use strong words, that is not obscene or racist or hatred. They could have used much worse words than this with their anger and sufferig.
I wish more Thai brave enough to join this forum. One reason why not many Thais here is that their act is really Shameless and Bullying, so they don have enough logics to talk with Khmer.
Don talk about fight. We know you that is your excuse to invade Cambodia. As a small country, Cambodia may not beat Thailand. That is y we express our anger and ideas in words, and we are not afraid to fight if have to.
Where is your reasoning? Where is your intelligence, clever Thai?
I still use the words: shameless and bullying as long your people and govt continues evil diplomacy towards ur neighbours.
Bofore I begin my comment, I want to tell your guys that I’m Thai. I was born in Thailand. And study Thai histories.
I know that all us are mad at Thais because you think that we bring problems to you. You said that the temple belongs to you for many years.
Therefore, why didn’t you protect them?
Have you ever think about a reason why Thais think it belong to us?
Because it was for long time too!
Since in the past, every part of the world fight for having the great power. This part of your country belong to Thailand since you lost your independent to France, right?
So, you MUST blame France not Thailand.
You’ll tried to expess your anger. You called Thais ignorance….Okie I know you clever! God!
You might wonder why there wasn’t any Thai to comment right?
I will tell you something okie?
because we have studied since we were young that Thai language is influenced from Khmer. We respect that and thank you for being our pattern.
Stil wanna cal us stupid!
I do not like that! that is a reason why i post comment here!
Don’t underestimate others because one day it will b back to you alright?
Moreover, Phear Vihear is Khmer’s temple. I agree with you, you know?
A lot of people in Thailand also think like me, but if they have seen what you wrote here for once.
They will completely change their idea, it’s not because they agree with abhisith, but it’s because You ALL!! ,because you abuse our country as we did such a terrible claim. You said it’s a SHAME!!!!!
BUT ACTUALLY WE DIDN”T….
You love your country, also we do loved our country too!
Think carefully befor you wrote anything man…! Don’t make people suffer from what you wrote, Thai people learn how to behave nicely, but we fight until we die if someone invade us, alright?
We have sung in our nationality song every day before we start schools, understand?
WE GO TO SCHOOL!!!!
NOT STUPID!!!!!
Thank to read until END!!!
DON”T MAD because this is an effect from what you wrote…I will not retort if you do not start first!
Well, I’m not Thai and I’m not Cambodian.
This is a difficult issue and I don’t want to offend anyone. However, Thailand is fighting a losing issue. The 1962 decision awarded the temple complex to Cambodia based on the border.
On top of that, Preah Vihear is a Khmer temple built during the height of the Khmer Empire in the 9th century. The Thai Empire did not come into full power until the 15th century. It is also in the Khmer architectural style. I think there is no way that Preah Vihear will be awarded to Thailand.
But I have to say that Thailand has some other amazing, incredible sites that are more beautiful than Preah Vihear. Ayutthaya is just one among many. Thailand is an amazingly beautiful place, and has so many great and beautiful temples to be proud of. That is why so many tourists from all over go to Thailand.
So please don’t be angry if one temple goes to Cambodia. Thailand has so MANY wonderful temples and historic sites to be amazed by.
Sorry for those who think that Preah Vihear incident is a international issue, you should wake up from longest dream, and face the fact that, it is not about Thai or Cambodian, it s about Riches and Poors, this incident is just part of the deal about devlopment of Cambodia promising islands and tourist spots. We thai and Cambodian people should work closely together to punish those corrupted officials and governments. sorry that your leader been raising you to be poor and stupid. but so as mine
dont care who you re, we are facing the same fate anyway

but i suggest u that ushould make ur love withing ur own country…don make it affect to any others especially neighboring country. i know u r strong, smart, and outstanding even steal and kill…
The Cambodians deserve to manage the Temple because of their efforts and persistence. Thai government failed to do in the past and present. Congratulation, if you win. I will not whine about this matter again.
Now Thailand will be a much more better place when all the corrupted Thai politicians who involved in giving the Temple rights away for their self interests will be jailed for life ore executed for treason. It is better to cut the finger off to save your own body or life. This could be a great opportunity for Thailand to teach a lesson to all present and future Thai politicians.
Congratulations to Cambodia and all Khmers!!!
Khmer Preah Vihear Temple is accepted to be protected
by UNESCO 07.07.2008 in Quebec City, Canada.
Thank you all Khmers around the world for your hard work for protecting Khmer heritage belonging to Cambodia.
KHMER PRIDE WORLD WIDE!!!
Thais were not there when the temple was built, Thai people weren’t even existed. Thailand was found only in 1939, Cambodia was found over 2000 years ago.
Khmer historians teach Khmer students in every Khmer school. Khmer historians, Khmer scholars, Khmer archeology and foreign archeology founded the Khmer stone description K380 K381 K382 telling who were the temple builders and when was the temple built.
Name: Prasat Preah Vihear
Creators: Khmer King Suryavarman I & Suryavarman II
Build dated: 11th. & 12th centuries
Dedicated: To Hindu God Shiva
Architecture style: Khmer Bantey Srei style and others.
Location: Preah Vihear, Cambodia
Khmer ancestors carved Khmer living, Khmer history, Khmer culture almost on every Khmer stone wall temple. There were Khmer description carved on the stone wall of Preah Vihear Temple, the Thai King used concrete to cover up all Khmer description and the Thai King wrote in Thai language on concrete saying the temple belonging to Thailand without shame.
Before the French left Cambodia, the French handed over the map to the Thai govt indicated that Khmer Preah Vihear Temple was inside Khmer territory on the map.
The Thai govt accepted the French map without contesting against the French.
As soon as the French left, Thai troops invaded Khmer Preah Temple and stole Khmer statues from the temple and took them to Bangkok.
Khmer King Sihanouk took Thailand to the international court of justice.
Thailand accepted to go on trial with Cambodia. Thailand lost a case against Cambodia. Read the June 15, 1962 judgment link below.

Today, Cambodia wanted Khmer Preah Vihear Temple to be protected by UNESCO, ignorant Thai people, ignorant Thai foreign Minister, ignorant Thai judges are all flip flop on the Preah Vihear issue over the international court decision.
Whether Khmer Preah Vihear Temple would be accepted by UNESCO or not, Khmers still own the Khmer temple and if Thais want to visit the Khmer temple, Thais have to pay the fees just like the rest of tourist in Cambodia.
Since Khmer temple now has been granted by UNESCO to be protected, ignorant Thais need to grow up and learn the true Khmer-Thai history from Khmers and stop dreaming of having Khmer Preah Vihear temple belonging to Thailand.
Thais have enough Khmer land and Khmer temples in Thailand plus Thais are using Khmer letters, Khmer vowels, Khmer numerals that Thais never created and Thais never give credit to khmers or mention the word “Khmer” in Thai history or in Thai culture.
Thailand must correct its history and teaches its people to respect Khmers, because Thai ancestors were Tai people from Nanchao, China. Tai people were helped by Khmers when they ran from the Mongol killing.
