Cambodias Prime minister for live Hun Sen lashed out at Google and said that they favored Thailand in the matter regarding Preah Vihear temple.
“(The map) is devoid of truth and reality, and professionally irresponsible, if not pretentious,” Svay Sitha, secretary of state of the Cambodia’s Council of Ministers, wrote in the letter seen by Reuters on Friday.”We therefore request that you withdraw the already disseminated, very wrong, and not internationally recognized map and replace it,” Hun Sen said.
This can just be another attempt from him and the former PM of Thailand to get the world’s attention on the matter and whip up some fighting.
It is no secret that the PM of Cambodia and the former PM of Thailand are trying to overrun the Thai government that currently runs Thailand.
The red shirts that support the former PM Of Thailand Mr Thaksin have promised to create an army to fight the Thai army as well and kick out the government before mars.
Let the best man win and i hope Thailand can be at peace soon.

The BMA in Bangkok will try to round up all 131 beggars still in Bangkok (how the hell did they miss more than 1000 others). The BMA says that most beggars are not from Bangkok but from Cambodia and some of them are from villages up north Thailand.
We already told you about this face long time ago that villagers from the north Thailand take turns to come down to Bangkok and beg.
The beggars can make more then 30 000 THB a month begging at the right spots in Bangkok and that for sure more money then you make harvesting rice and working in the factory.
In Cambodia babies born with no legs or arms are bought by the beggar mafia and used to lure money from the tourists, money the babies never will see.
Last year Thailand announced that they will make some beggars licensed but I have not seen a single licensed beggar so far. Since Thailand is a Buddhist country people give money to beggars regardless if they are fake or not, in the same way they do not check if a Thai Monk is real or not. Giving money to poor people will give you better karma.

One thing you can say about Thaksin is that he knows how to play on people’s feelings. After been appointed to economic adviser to the Khmer government he made some remarks regarding the people around the King Of Thailand. He later took those remarks back but the damage was already done.
The PAD (yellow shirts and airport occupiers) will now stage a protest until Sunday, and nothing good can lead to that. They want to escalate things with Cambodia since the Khmer government won’t give up Thaksin.
If it was stability the Thai government wanted they can forget about that now, the PAD is running in the next election and the Red Shirts are calling for an election now.
This thing could if people not careful escalate to a bloody mess stretching over the high season and beyond.

Cambodia have put the former of Thailand PM of Thailand on an adviser seat to the Cambodian government and they will not extradite him to Thailand because of humanitarian reasons. The tension was pretty hot before because of the fighting over the temple land and oil rights but now it will probably be chilly hot.
The Thai government said today that they really did not care really but they will make sure to ask for Thaksin to be returned to Thailand if he ever set his foot in Cambodia even the Cambodian government would ignore such request.
A group of senators have asked the Thai government to step up the tension with the Cambodians but the Thai government just wants to play it cool.
