AP Archive films PHNOM PENH: FIGHTING CONTINUES TO RAGE

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

the film seems very clear, great color
everyone very well dressed, well fed, clean
not at all what i would expect

this looks like Preah Vihear


at the end the guy is speaking Thai
That, if I am not mistaken, is the arrival of the CPP negotiating team at Preah Vihear in late 97 or early 98 (one of 5 or 6 visits IIRC,) led by Col. Pol Sarun I believe. (That helicopter crashed in about that same spot a couple of months later, overloaded with journalists.) The guy at the end speaking Thai is Gen. Nhek Bun Chhay, General of the FUNCINPEC army (the "Saddest Army"). Around the time of the negotiations he was stuck up at the Thai border (O'Smach) with his troops after he escaped Phnom Penh during the factional fighting of July.
