Burma Bill

Sadly, it has to be. All parties contesting the election will be military backed and approved! Parties promoting peace and true democracy for the people will be banned. Why hold a general election in the first place?

THAI PARANOIA!!

Very much so! For reference; (Google) Cambodia sources its electricity from a mix of local power generation and imports from neighboring countries. Locally, Cambodia utilizes hydroelectric dams, coal-fired power plants, solar power plants, biomass power plants, and diesel-fired power plants. It also imports electricity from Vietnam and Laos. Bye Bye Thailand - yet another small blow to your ailing economy, along with a complete ban on the import of Thai products and produce into Cambodia. Here in Siem Reap City, the big PTT gas station, along with the Amazon Coffee Shop and 7-11 store is a "ghost" area with virtually no customers whereas further along the main road business is booming at the CALTEX. TOTAL and TELA petrol stations with their convenience stores. Additional information from the Khmer franchisees; Announced via a Facebook post on August 4 that “all PTT fuel stations nationwide” will be rebranded as PPC (Peace Petroleum Cambodia), a Khmer-owned brand. The new brand’s logo will feature five colors: red symbolizing Cambodian land, white for purity and peace, blue for strength and trust, a dove representing freedom, and gold signifying Khmer prosperity. https://cambojanews.com/cambodian-owners-vow-to-dissolve-contract-with-ptt-rebrand-as-khmer-biz/

Absolute BS from the aggressive Thai military propaganda machine. The total of Khmer soldiers killed is still well below the 700 quoted. Reference Google According to Cambodia's Ministry of National Defence, five soldiers and 8 civilians have been killed, and 21 soldiers, along with more than 50 civilians, have been injured.

Thanks, but with respect I have lived in Cambodia for the past 5 years and I regularly fly between the two countries. This was the first time I had to experience undignified Thai bureaucracy whilst my passport was being checked elsewhere. The situation kept the check-in queue long as my desk became unmanned when the lady disappeared with my passport.

Even more Kuwati motorbike drivers to terrorise and keep people awake in Pattaya!

Cambodian media report (6/8/2025) The Ministry of National Defence has confirmed that the Thai-installed barbed wire fencing in the An Ses area has been removed, and all machinery operations have ceased following negotiations between military forces of both countries. https://www.khmertimeskh.com/category/national/#google_vignette

With respect, as I stated in my original post, there is a road up to the Preah Viher UNESCO temple complex totally on Cambodian soil. I have visited the site and one leaves one's car at the base Information Centre where you transfer to special 4WD vehicles that convey you to the mountain top temple via a steep, narrow and long road. Everything is within Cambodia (the verdict of the ICJ many years ago). There is no road access from Thailand. There are 2 much smaller temples along the mountain ridge border that are the main flashpoints for the current state of affairs, Prasat Ta Muen Thom and Prasat Ta Krabey.

I currently live in Cambodia and eat Khmer food most of the time. A UK roast dinner is not on my bucket list!

With respect, not crises orchestrated by him. He is responding to aggression orchestrated by the Thai military leaders and pro-Thai extreme Nationalists! No further comment from me.

Crazy. Why come all the way to Thailand to find and enjoy a typical UK Sunday roast? There are plenty of cheaper, value for money Thai dishes to be enjoyed rather than a Sunday roast!

What a lovely view for visiting tourists to look at whilst relaxing on the beach!

Chinese made? RIP newly wed.

A true Sh.t stirrer who should be put down like a lame horse!!

No problems entering Cambodia. Yesterday (4/8/2025) I flew back home in Siem Reap after a hospital appointment in Thailand. I have an valid annual Cambodian Retirement Visa in my UK passport, along with older annual retirement Thai visas. I believe these visas were the cause of hassle I experienced yesterday at the Air Asia check-in desk. When I presented my passport with the flight reference documentation, it was queried regarding possession of a Cambodian visa (which I indicated) and where was my return flight to Thailand. I explained I lived in Cambodia. The check-in lady took my passport and, after a phone call, disappeared with it. She returned and asked where I lived in Thailand to which I replied i live in Cambodia and not Thailand. I was then given back my passport and told I had been cleared to fly.
