In 1962, the International Court of Justice
awarded the temple and the land it occupies to Cambodia. The
decision still rankles many Thais even though the temple is
Cambodian, sharing the Hindu-influenced architectural style of the
more famous Angkor complex in northwestern Cambodia.
Could any of you
briefly explain what is the nature of this dispute? Another
national pride? Why would the Thai
military deployed its troop ahead of any political
resolution?
Doesn’t look like
anybody is giving in? Seemed like both side just mass their soldier
near the border.
I simply can’t
imagine Asean is going to solve this one when they are still trying
to get Myanmar issue resolved?
