Apart from a tiny minority, most Thais grow up thinking and believing everything they have and 'owned' are of their national origins and heritage, from culture, dress and written script to ancient temples and lands, including "lost lands" that Thailand presently is seizing from Cambodia illegally along the border. Little do they know that even their capital city - "Bangkok" - is a derivative of Khmer word: 'Boeung Kok'. At most historical sites in Thailand one can still see Khmer script written in Pali or Sanskrit because this was - and still is - believed to be endowed with religious authority or prowess.
The Thais would have to return to their T'ai birthplace in southern China to find their own authentic identity and culture. Most Thai xenophobes and ultra-nationalists' hatred towards Khmers and Cambodia today is partly a reflection of this bitter and twisted inferiority complex and their collective inability to own up to the truth, resulting from centuries of historical distortions and misinformation on the part of Thailand's school curriculum and deliberately falsified historical accounts.

Khmer put "words" in the UNESCO whereas THAIs took Khmer land and Khmer maritime.
U nder Ah Kwack Hun Sen and Ah KWEN Hun Manet, it would be strange if CAmbodia is not vanished.
Ah Roleuy Hun Sen was the root cause of Thai's attacks on Cambodia, resulting the losses of so much lands.
This crazy HUN family must step down and let Khmer people select a new leader through a free and fair election.
Khmer people have enough pain with Ah Runteas Banh Hun Sen and Ah Hun family.
In addition, Khmer people should ask the King to eliminate the title SAMDACH from Khmer title ranking. It is a useless title that infuriates people when hearing that shit Samdach title.
