On the surface, Cambodia won after the temple was inscribed as a world heritage site. Under the water, the deal is a big gain for the Thais. The new map drawn by the Cambodian site admits for the first time that there is an overlapping area near the temple, while it historically and legally belongs to Cambodia. The stupid, unpatriotic Cambodian gov't was tricked because they were in a rush to get it listed. They think only of money and short-term personal interests. It is a grave mistake.
