France's Macron Reportedly Confirms 4 Cambodian Provinces Belong to Thailand

The discussion begins with claims of having received documents and information regarding the historical ownership of four provinces.

A source, a journalist in Paris, confirms the existence of documents and the widespread knowledge of the four provinces being Thai.

The historical background of the four provinces is detailed, noting they were once part of Thailand before being ceded to Cambodia by France, leading to ongoing disputes.

The conflict intensified due to border and historical site claims by Cambodia, leading to two wars which Thailand won.

Thai Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin issued a stern warning to Hun Sen, advising caution before engaging in conflict with Thailand.

Boonruay Munjinda, leader of the Ruam Jai Thai party, claims French President Macron stated that four Cambodian provinces belong to Thailand.

It is reported that Macron provided old documents to Prime Minister Srettha, identifying the four provinces as Thai.

The four provinces in question are identified as Battambang, Siem Reap, Sisophon, and Koh Kong.

The commentator states that the people in these provinces have Thai roots and identify as Thai, preferring to be Thai than Cambodian under Hun Sen's rule.

Boonruay mentions that Prime Minister Srettha has been negotiating border disputes with Cambodia, which is seen as initiating conflict.

Cambodia's alleged motive for conflict is to open borders and secure funds from China, France, and Japan for energy exploration, while blaming Thaksin Shinawatra.

The commentator asserts that Thaksin Shinawatra is unaware of these dealings and is not involved in any financial benefits from Hun Sen.

The speaker reflects on France's historical actions, suggesting France should have returned the four provinces to Thailand, not Cambodia, referencing the Victory Monument as a symbol of Thai victory over France.

The discussion reiterates the claim of having documents and provides further 'evidence' like the governor of Battambang being related to a Thai noble and Pita Limjaroenrat's grandmother residing in the governor's mansion.

The commentator claims that almost 100% of the population in Koh Kong are Thai and identifies with Thai culture.

While acknowledging that reclaiming the territory now might cause issues, the speaker hopes for a future where Thai soldiers can legitimately reclaim it if war breaks out.

The speaker emphasizes that France itself confirmed the territory as Thai during the past conflict, which resulted in a Thai victory.

The commentator asserts that all these historical accounts are factual.

The area around the Tonle Sap lake is described, with the northern part belonging to Cambodia and the southern part to Thailand, indicating a clear division.

The focus shifts to Prime Minister Srettha, questioning when he will reclaim these territories, suggesting it should be done when Hun Sen is weakened.

It is stated that the Cambodian public does not respect Hun Sen as they used to, and the people of the four provinces wish to be Thai.

The commentator claims that generations ago, the people in these provinces were Thai and were taken by the French colonialists.

The claim about the French reporter in Paris is repeated, emphasizing the widespread knowledge of the provinces' Thai origin.

The commentator notes that the world knows Cambodia initiated the conflict, causing Thai casualties, and that Interpol has issued arrest warrants.

The discussion delves into a $5 billion deal and attempts at oil exploration, suggesting a lack of agreement on profit sharing is hindering the process.

It is clarified that significant energy resources are not located under Koh Kood in Cambodian territory but rather on the Thai side.

The context of Thaksin's MO 44 is mentioned, involving a 50/50 split between Thailand and Cambodia, but questions arise about how funds from France, China, and Japan are being used by Hun Sen.

The commentator suggests that the financial dealings are a dark secret and that Thaksin remains silent because the claims are untrue.

The speaker acknowledges that much of the information is based on speculation and media interpretation of private conversations.

The commentator emphasizes the need to be fair to Thaksin Shinawatra, stating that his assets have been significantly impacted by his political activities.

The speaker stresses that when matters are unclear, fairness and justice should prevail.
