Thailand’s Actions Against Cambodia in July 2025

Thailand has made repeated attempts to invade Cambodia for various strategic and political reasons, including:

1. To seize historically significant temples such as Ta Krabey, Ta Muen Toch, Ta Muen Thom, and Preah Vihear.
2. To divert attention from internal political turmoil in Thailand.
3. To exploit natural resources located beneath and around the Dângrêk mountain range.
4. To send a message to Cambodian leaders as a demonstration of Thai military strength.
5. Due to the strategic importance of the natural border shared by Cambodia and Thailand.
6. To allow the current Thai king—whose reign has faced low public support—to assert the power of the monarchy through military influence.
7. To test military capabilities against a smaller neighboring country like Cambodia and send this message to neight countries such as Laos, Burma, and Malaysia

I deeply appreciate our Khmer/Cambodian soldiers for their strong and honorable defense. Thanks to their bravery, these lands still rightfully belong to Cambodia.
