Cambodia's Impossible Dream: Koh Tral

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

International law has clearly established that proximity is not a determining factor.

I hear you, bro. But from a purely emotional perspective, I think I understand why they feel like proximity should be a determining factor. But it's not.

FYI I've stopped posting responses on Khmerization having determined that nobody there has the slightest interest in the truth. The last straw was Khmerization's amending his OP to include a fuzzy copy of the 1820 Crawfurd map which he insists says Koh Dral. I provided him a 13MB file where it's crystal clear that it says Koh-dud which Crawfurd indicated is what the Thais called it at that time. (Crawfurd was aware of the Khmer name but didn't deem it important enough to put on his map). Khmerization refused to acknowledge his error and has kept that map up. It's moronic pure and simple and I've wasted enough time.

They say that insanity is repeating the same mistakes and expecting different results. You got a pass on your first few comments, but after that...

I'm really interested in the history of the other islands, too. Can you make one of them your next research project? :D

You're right, nobody to blame but me.

Once Vietnam grants me asylum I'd consider it.

They kidnapped 513 Vietnamese nationals to Koh Tang in 1975. You could investigate that if you insist on continuing your pro-Viet agenda.

Don't you realize you're just another of thousands of Vietnamese infiltrators who post stuff like this to make people believe Vietnamese lies?! How much are they paying you?
