Cambodia and Thailand is showing each other weapons but it looks like nobody wants to fight. The conflict over the Hindu temple off Preah Vihear have now also read the UN, embassy staff from France and USA in on location. The newspapers show soldiers about 2500 on each side eating rice and chicken with each other on the same blanket. I do not think anyone of them wants to fight they mostly look very bored but because of politics in Thailand and Cambodian election they have to show force.

But when the news media turned the cameras on Cambodia Thailand managed to kick out 52 Karen refuges back to Burma straight back into the conflict, way to go Thailand.

For you that want to travel to the Preah Vihear it is now closed until the troops are gone but they are tourist attraction also.

Wow so amazing I gave 125 US 1 hour ago and now 10 other people have given 300 US dollar as well. I sent an email to all in my list as well I wrote on this blog. I do not know if that make them to donate but I think that and a mix of that they come on the hot list helped.

If you have any questions please let me know here in the comments

The Ping Pong I Village Bank consists of forty-one members.
Mrs. Yin Sao is the Village Bank president. She is 49 years old and is a subsistence farmer who cultivates the field next to the village. She is the mother of three children. One works in a garment factory, another is working on the field with his parents, and the youngest is enrolled in state school.

The family sometimes hires workers to work on their rice plantation, especially to plow, since they do not have enough draft animals. Last year, Mrs. Yin Sao obtained a loan from Acleda Bank to hire a worker to plow the rice field, but insects destroyed her rice. Now, the monsoon season is coming soon, so it is time to cultivate rice, but Mrs. Yin Sao does not have enough money to hire a worker.

Therefore, she is requesting a loan to hire a worker who has a draft animal to plow the rice field, and to buy insecticides to avoid last year’s problems.

The Thailand foreign minister has made a formal protest to Cambodia Ambassador to Thailand because of the breech of agreement of 2000.

Cambodia put troops in the Preah Vihear temple or near by. The temple has been the topic of many top meeting between the countries but they can never agree who own the land.
