    where is the 4.6 square kilometers?. Mr Prayuth must meant the one that legally in side the Cambodian territory. check the map 1:200000.

    I think the best thing the MSM could do for the country is to refuse to print a single article coming directly from any military leader. Only the government should have a say and decision-making power.
