Let the Khmer encroach? Fact vs political drama

Over the past twenty years, since MOU43 was made on June 14, 2000, the disputed area of the saddle channel has been recognized by both Thailand and Cambodia as a "trade relief point."

Thai citizens have been selling living goods to Cambodian villagers - milk, coconuts, drinking water, and food and drink that Cambodians have been eating for decades.

That is why, over the past 20 years, neither the leaders nor the Thai military have struggled with the entry of Cambodia into the disputed area, because both countries have benefited.

If not necessary, no one would want to kill each other, lose the lives of civilians, wealth, money, fight, each side would reduce tensions, and then take the disputed area to make a point of commercial relief for citizens between the two countries to trade, have jobs, and earn money.

But everything has "boundaries" and "dividing lines that cannot be allowed to cross."

Cambodia now expresses its intention to take the castle area and its strategic point, threatening and pressuring Thailand with military operations in the disputed area.

That is the "dividing line" that the Thai military and the Thai government cannot ease.

Once Cambodia crosses that line, peaceful coexistence will not be possible, because Thailand will definitely not allow anyone to encroach on its sovereignty.

The problem is that Thailand has two extreme groups.

1. [The extreme left]

It often upholds the principle that boundary lines are "fictional," does not favour conflicts or cases of dispute, and has always been biased against nationalist and military ideas.

The extreme left would attack the military as a frenzy and as a result of fictional borders, not even looking at Thailand as a party that follows international rules and is threatened by the opposite side.

2. [Extreme right]

They will have the idea that there is no disputed area, where we declare the border, where it must be ours without a caveat, and without paying attention to our opponents or the people along the border, how to live.

The extreme right is attacking the state and the military leaders of the past, allowing Cambodians to market themselves in the saddle for decades, why not drive them all out?

Both groups have their political agendas, while in Thai society they should "know" them.

[Thailand, we are not weak] and [never weak], but we are for the peace and benefit of our brothers and sisters in both countries. We have always used myth to live together in peace.

But when one day our opponent "crossed the line" and responded to our friendly attitude, like an elbow, that day came to show him the sentence:.."This Thai loves peace but is not cowardly."
