I want to remind everyone that both countries were produced by the rights on the temple of Prekh Vikhar, located on the border of two countries, which was built in XI century. In 1962. International Court of Justice was settled by the Thailand-Cambodian dispute on this occasion in behalf on Cambodia, however in Thailand all the time they continued to contest legitimacy of such decision.
