On Thursday 21st May 2009, on the website of one of the famous Thai English Newspaper called The Nation reported that Thailand's Foreign Minister warned UNESCO's official over the UNESCO's mission to Preah Vihea Temple in April that UNESCO must get the permission from Thailand before entering the land at Preah Vihear Temple as they claimed that it's the dispute area.
The warning to this organization by Thailand is not acceptable for Cambodia. UNESCO came to do the inspection to the temple of Preah Vihear as it's just registered into the World's Heritage list. The job of UNESCO is to ensure that this heritage is well conserved.
Why UNESCO has to ask for permission from Thailand if they are just visit Cambodia? Is Thailand Cambodia's parent?
Thailand react to this is just to cover their bad deed acted during the clash that caused damage to the temple because of their army's shooting. They don't want UNESCO to see the evidence which they think that they will loose face if UNESCO issue a statement commenting that Thailand damaged World Heritages.
