Vientiane - Cambodia's deputy foreign minister visited Laos to provide a background briefing on Preah Vihear, an 11th-century Hindu temple on the Thai-Cambodian border that has sparked a nasty diplomatic spat between the two countries, news reports said Wednesday. Long Visalo on Tuesday gave a lecture to more than 200 Lao Foreign Ministry officials on the history of Preah Vihear and the border dispute it has created between Laos' southern neighbours, the government-run Vientiane Times reported.
The ongoing diplomatic rift between the two countries has raised serious questions about the cohesiveness of the Association of South-East Asian Nations (ASEAN), of which Cambodia, Thailand and Laos are members.
Cambodia has attempted to involve ASEAN in resolving the border dispute, but Thailand has refused, arguing that it is an issue that should be settled bilaterally.
Long Visalo noted that the International Court of Justice ruled in 1962 that Preah Vihear was under the sovereignty of Cambodia and in July 2008 UNESCO listed the temple as a World Heritage Site.
Thailand objected to the UNESCO listing on the grounds that a plot of land adjoining the temple is still subject to a border dispute.
A diplomatic spat over the listing escalated into a tense standoff last year between the two countries' armies near Preah Vihear, which left several soldiers on both sides dead.
Come on Thai government lets be real just one look at the name of the Temple you know that is not yours its maybe close or even overlap your land because you move the border posts. hehehehe. Nothing serious guys just for a good laugh.

That is not funny, posh!!! As you knew that we sepparated the borders of the country by San-Pan-Num at the middle of the river, at the middle of mountain and the at the cliffy so that temple is located at the cliffy area where the Thailand is and Cambodia border is at the lower from the clif whice clearly sepparated the border between the 2 countries.
Ofcause the name was built by the ancient Khmer but at the present doesn't mean to belong to the origin. If like that Pasaht Wat Phu may also give back to Cambodia too?
Anyway, that is the problem between 2 countries. We better not to get anything involt with

Yes, Lanna Kingdom is now a part of Thailand as you said, they was unlucky that they lose their entire Land to their enemies: (Shan state) to Myanmar, and majority of their kingdom to Siam. So, compare to Lanxang KingdomI think we were lucky as they lose only some parts of the kingdom (Isaan) to Siam and important thing we still have Laos where people are living and developing their home.

Watches are a beautiful thing. Certainly, they tell us the time - but aren't they so much more than that? replicas watches Through their watches, a person can express so much, and in a way it could be said:replicas watches Show me your watch and I'll tell you who you are.
