What a strange way to frame this. Makes it sound like the author of the map thinks Thailand has some sort of inherent right to own Cambodia, instead of one imperialist power getting beaten by another.

Kedahans begs to differ with the 1785 part. Kedah only became a Siamese vassal post 1842

Should have lost more, the core Thai territory is about 1/3rd of what is today Thailand.

You guys make it sound like Thailand and its neighbors didn’t engage in centuries of warfare to conquer each other’s lands in much the same way Europe did until the World Wars.
The better question is, by what parameters do we determine whether lands lost or added by European colonials should be up to be parcelled out again. And do we even want that to happen.

Sipsongpanna was also lost to British, then British transfered it to China.

Are Thailand and Cambodia fighting now over the 1907 territory?
