Unluckily, no oil or gas there or Khun Thaksin could sit in the talks and offer one of his companys to extract the oil and gas, but only for the benefit of lcal peoples..

Let's hope that with no Thai ultranationalists in positions where they can influence the government now, things will go rather better than under the Democrats.

While I'm not a fan of Thaksin & cronies, I do believe Pheu Thai is the party that can get bilateral relations with Cambodia back to something resembling friendship. That will be good for both countries.
