Let me tell why, because Thais were the origin of Tai people from Nanchao, China (Now Yunnan). Tai people ran into Khmer land from Nanchao during the Mongol invasion. Khmer helped Tai people and taught Tai people of Khmer Civilization such as Khmer alphabets, Khmer vowels and Khmer numerals that Tai people have been using Khmer numerals since the day they were helped by Khmer people from the Mongol. Thai people today should appreciate of the Khmer help, because of the Khmer help that Tai people became Thai people today. Instead of go invading Khmer lands and Khmer temples today at the border, Thai people included Thai leaders should respect Khmer people and make peace with Khmer people who helped them. I am Khmer

I have been to Siem Reap & the amazing Ankor Wat several times. The Khmer type temples run all the way to Lop Berri north of Bangkok. A dispute over the way the boundaries have been drawn is no excuse for this to erupt into some kind of a war with Buddhist against Buddhist, that is something that the Muslims are adept at and you don't need to get like what they are doing to the Buddhist in the southern three Thai provinces at present. Don't lower your selves to that level.

As the current situation in this country, it's not safe, so all governments should boyscott this meeting. Thai has political unstability. Second, Thai has invaded Cambodia, so this is enough reason that the meeting should be postponed. The meeting should hold it until Thai would have a stability. Lao or Malayia should be the chairman of the Asian Association. Dear All;

I am a project manager for a large company. I have many degrees and perusing my professional degree. I am so tired of Cambodian people in Cambodia. I tried to explain them if they have a good education and job in Cambodia, they should not come to America. I could not convince them. Why? I and my wife are looking to go back to live in Cambodia because I think our country has a better life in America. Everything has gone up so expensive in America. I make a lot of money comparing to some people, but I could not save more than three hundred dollars each month. I have a lot of bills such as rent, car, car insurance, life insurance, phone bills, utilities, credit card, and student loan. I could survive because I have a good education. How about people who doesn’t know anything and immigrate to this country? They make less than $10 per hours. How can you survive? Today, America is in the middle of economic recession, so to find a job is not easy. I know most of people who just come to America likely to clean the restroom or do labor job which less than $9 per hour. They work so hard and tiredness. They have no time for rest. They have no time to see their family, and even no time to spend money. I feel so sorry for them. Some of them have a fair economy in Cambodia. I feel so sorry for those who want to come to America and married to old man; they end their life with no happiness. Why did they do that? And why do you want to do that? Most of them are ending up with divorces. Life is only one, so why you want to let your life down. I know some people their love is money, and I don’t want to debate about that. However, love should be the lover that means you love him and he loves you “He is not too old.” I drove my wife to school and met many young ladies who married to old men, “they talked to me and told me, “I am so jealous with your couple because you and your husband love each other, your husband is not too old, and he loves you. He looks so young, and has a very good education. He doesn’t let you go to work. But I “she” have to work hard to help my old husband paying his bills. If I could choose to go back to Cambodia, I would do so, and I would never come to America again.” I want to tell you that life in America is not easy as you thought everybody needs to work hard in order to survive; especially in the economy is downturn. Today, America hit so hard by the recession, and there are more and people getting laid off. Many large firms are filing bankruptcy such as Washington Mutual Bank, circuit city, and others. Even states employees were laid off. Why do you want to come to America? I know many people went to Cambodia and acted as they just came from the paradise. They lied to Cambodian people that they had a great life in America. Some of them work in the restaurants, or clean the restroom, or have no education at all. They like to lie to make them good, and you think wow “I want to come to America.” Stop having a bad dreaming. Live close to your love one in our country. Why do you want to come to America?

Siam has no professional people, they don't understand the law. By the way, I just drew a map, and talked to my Lao classmates that my map is perfect. We could use my map which based on 1600. Thai had no where, three provinces belonged to Lao, two provinces belonged to Myama, and Bang Kok and Chiang May belonged to Cambodia. My map is perfect. Shamed on you Siam, you are a stealer. You want to draw a new map, fine, I can draw a new map to. Three of us could wipe you off the map. Don't confuse, we are not animals like you. We are not going to use the forces.
