The Thai army has sent a letter of protest to Cambodia over the landmine explosion that seriously injured three Thai rangers inside Thai territory in Surin province on Tuesday.

The 2nd Army's Suranaree Task Force on Thursday submitted the protest letter to the Cambodian army via the Thai-Cambodian Township Border Committee (TBC).

“We believe the landmine was recently planted. It was not a leftover mine," army deputy spokesman Winthai Suwaree said.

Maybe The Thai soldiers is patrolling in Khmer soil. A lot of land mines was planted during the Cambodian civil war by The Khmer Rouge and Vietnamese, and Hun Sen's soliders.

-I think the Thais patrol was stepping on his own mine. what a coincidence what a Cambodian mine doing in the Thai soil?. in the article just a of say but there is no evidence to proof that the Cambodia actually doing it.
when will it be enough from the Thais side. mine planted got accident and blame someone else that cause it.

I don't think Cambodia ever stupid enough to destroy the peace treaty at all. this kind of tactic is just to have excuse for the Thai side. if mind were to be planted there by the Cambodian troop then prove with a solid evidence. I hope this accusation didn't mean to be framed just to accuse the Cambodia of violating with the mine treaty in Ottawa Canada?. I can set up a whole bunch of trap then send my dog there, so I could accuse my neighbor of setting up trap on my back yard.

The Hun Sen regime continues to cross the border,place mines to kill and injure Thai security forces and civilians,in total disregard of treaties and signed agreements. When will enough be enough?
