And so it begins! (another Thailand-Cambodia dispute)

July 26, 2010

I knew this would come off ugly. I even sent an email to UNESCO-WHC (World Heritage Centre) back in 2008 when they decided to listed Phra Viharn Temple as a world’s heritage.

And now, at World Heritage Committee meeting which is currently happening in Brazil, this issue will be brought up to the table because it caused so much troubles at the border.

I still don’t understand why they listed the temple in the first place when they knew this would cause troubles to neighbor countries.

Update: At the very moment, more than a thousand Thais are gathering on the street in Bangkok to show their disapprovals to Cambodia’s management plan.
