We have known that the water level of upper Mekong River has risen so quicker and our authorities have to be careful about that water level that could lead to the flood for local people,” He told the closing ceremony of the general assembly of the Cambodian Red Cross.
Rainy season has hit Cambodia and rainy monsoon also covered the country.

CAMBODIA, PHNOM PENH, AUGUST 5, 2010-Thailand still has choice for border talks with Cambodia in case that Thailand stopped talking about opposition of management plan of 11th century Khmer Preah Vihear temple and stopped claim that 4.6 square km area as Thai soil.
Thai side should persuade border demarcation at area near Preah Vihear if Thailand wants to have good relationship with Cambodia by using MOU 2000 and 1904-1907 border treaty for border demarcation. Thailand also recognized that Preah Vihear as Cambodia.
Cambodia does not give the sign for meeting of dealing the border issues with Thailand because Thailand opposed the management plan of Preah Vihear temple and no ambassador.
Actually, Cambodia wants to talk about border issues but the last development of the border issues and opposition of management plan from Thai side that is obstacle. Military unit is good ties.
Phnom Penh administration did not give the signal for Thai PM Abhisit who planned to send DPM Suthep because some Thai officials said too much about opposition of management plan, border issues and Thai side does not approve the border deal which agreed so far. Border demarcation plan got stuck in Thai hands. Thai PM still has hope for bilateral talks.
To have good ties between Cambodia and Thailand, Thailand has to do such as
1- Thailand must pursue the border demarcation agreement that agreed so far by the border committee. Go together with Cambodia border committee to measure the area to plant border post. Actually, land is Cambodia.
2- Stop talking about opposition of management plan but Thai side need to express good wills in dealing border issues by using MOU 2000 and border treaty 1904-1907. And Thai side stopped using border map which drawn by military secretly in1976.
3- Stop using border issuer as tool for political benefits.
4- Thai side should believe that management plan is in places of Cambodian soil only.
5- Ambassador should send back without waiting until Thai general election, it will connect good relation. Former Thai PM Thaksin now stays far from Cambodia. Cambodian constitution does not allow foreigners to use Cambodia as stronghold to struggle power in other countries.
6- Thailand should ask China for helping to connect diplomatic ties with Cambodia.
7- Prince Sisowath Thomico’s letter is enough for Thai side to understand about border issues. Prince also is in Beijing.
