In the morning on 24 July 2025, Thailand's troops arranged the wire fence around the Cambodia's Ancient Khmer Temple at the border of Oddarmeanchey Province. Then Cambodian troops went to get those wire fence around the ancient Khmer temple out and Thailand troops started firing on Cambodia making the clash happened at the border of Thailand-Cambodia that Cambodia needs to attack Thailand back to protect their own country.
It should be noticed that Thailand has shown the invasion act on Cambodia since the 1962 to grab Cambodia's ancient Khmer temple of Preah Vihear Temple on Cambodia's land. Then Cambodia filed the complaints to the International Court of Justice and Thailand was really shocked to lose in the ICJ as Preah Vihear ancient Khmer temple is belong to Cambodia and Khmer nation. However, Thailand has never ended their greed to get more land area from Cambodia. Thailand tried to play around to move forward controlling some other ancient Khmer temples and land areas near Preah Vihear Temple when Cambodia got into Vietnamese war and Pol Pot genocide on Cambodian. After Pol Pot Genocide ended and Vietnam attacked Cambodia, millions of Cambodian refugees escaped to Cambodia-Thailand borders; unfortunately Cambodia refugees more than 15000 people were killed under the hand of Thai Prime Minister Kriangsak Chamanan at the Dongrek Mountain ranges by Thai troops transported Khmer Cambodian refugees to drop at the edge of Dongrek Mountain ranges full of landmine. This was the bad memory for Cambodian that Thai government and troops had done during the Cambodia war time before UN coming. Thailand just changed their cruel attitude to accept UN aids for Khmer refugee camps to earn million of dollars to Thailand's economy.
Today, Thailand has faked the world same as Don't Thai to me that Cambodia attacked Thailand first while actually Thailand attacked Cambodia first in the morning on July 24, 2025 near Tamoan Thom ancient Khmer Temple. Many international media is doing the wrong message to the world using Thailand claimed without the exact investigation to case that Thailand attacked Cambodia first; it should be noted that landmine injured Thailand troops was from Thailand installed itself possibly and old landmine remained from Cambodia past war on Cambodian border land. Thailand tried to claim the world and UN that Cambodia prepared the landmine while Thailand acted like "Don't Thai to me! Fake information!".
It time for Cambodia and UN to call the world that Thailand is the invader to Cambodia and not accept the Franco-Siam Treaty map scale 1:200000; Thailand wants to use their only map by American troops scale 1:50000 without the acceptance from Cambodia. Please the world consider and judge Thailand based on their action as I mentioned in this article.
