My friend, Thailand would never join communist Vietnam. On the other hand, I am still stand on what I said in the past. Cambodians would be better under Vietnam because their own governments have put them through so much to ground zero from one generation to another. I am not kidding. Vietnamese would make Cambodians feel better if Cambodia is a part of Vietnam.
However, I prefer to see Cambodains as parts of Thailand instead because I believe Thailand has alot to offer if Cambodia join Thailand as one country called the Kingdom of Thailand under the leadership of Thail monarchy. And I am serious.
