[B][SIZE="4"]Final Farewell To A Princess (With Photos of Armed Force Personnel)[/SIZE][/B]

(Thank many Thai media for photo and BangkokPost.com for news.)
[B]As His Majesty the King lit the fire for the cremation of his sister, HRH Princess Galyani Vadhana, the nation joined together as one to say their final farewell to a beloved royal whose dedication to the welfare of the people earned her a place in their hearts[/B]
Usnisa Sukhsvasti
As Pol Lt Thongchai Wattanakeewong approached the front of the Phra Meru, dressed in his white ceremonial robes and head-dress and seated at the front of the royal victory chariot, he must have felt a combined sense of pride and sorrow. As the driver of the royal car of HRH Princess Galyani Vadhana, he was also selected to assume the position of "driver" of the ceremonial royal chariot that carried the royal urn on its final trip. It was his final act of service to the princess he had loyally served in life, and now in death.
[B]It was a royal procession that showed Thai pageantry at its best. Taking its history from the Ayutthaya period, the royal procession began just after 7am when the royal urn was carried from its position of state in the Dusit Throne Hall, Grand Palace compound, to the Phra Meru cremation pavilion at Sanam Luang. Though only a stone's throw away, the procession took all of four hours, carrying with it all the solemnity, grandeur, cultural and artistic heritage that is the pride of the Thai nation.
Hundreds of thousands of people lined the streets to witness the rare procession and pay their final respects to their beloved princess. Many had been arriving since the night before, from Bangkok and upcountry, to find the best location to witness the proceedings. Thousands of reporters and photographers from around the world lined the official press stands to cover the event.[/B]
The ceremony was also broadcast to 171 countries around the world on Thai Global Network.
HRH Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn presided over the early morning rites at Dusit Throne Hall, and, together with HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn, accompanied the royal funeral cortege with the royal golden urn borne atop the three-poled golden palanquin as it travelled along Maha Rat road, Tai Wang road to Sanam Chai road. Here, the royal funeral urn, which dates back to the reign of King Rama I, was transferred to the royal victory chariot drawn by 216 men.
[B]The glistening roofs of the Grand Palace complex provided a stunning backdrop for this last, and longest, stretch of the royal funeral procession. Joined now by members of the armed forces, the prime minister and representatives of eight schools, the procession stretched from the front of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to Rajini School.[/B]
Accompanied by the melancholic strain of the Phya Sok slow march, the procession moved slowly and solemnly towards Sanam Luang, turning in on the centre carriageway and stopped in front of the Phra Meru. Here the royal urn was transferred to the golden palanquin once again to circumnavigate the Phra Meru, before being installed within the pavilion.
At 5pm, Their Majesties the King and Queen arrived to perform the merit-making rites. Their Majesties, accompanied by members of the royal family, then ascended the Phra Meru to light the fire for the symbolic cremation, with the haunting Phya Sok lament accompanied by the sobbing pi chanai oboe in the background. After the 21-gun salute, His Majesty lingered momentarily in front of the elaborately carved royal sandlewood urn before leaving the Phra Meru.
[B]The royal cremation proper took place at 10pm, presided over by Their Majesties, close members of the royal family and courtiers of Princess Galyani.[/B]
Performances on three stages set up in the northern half of Sanam Luang took place throughout the night, featuring both classical Thai dances as well as classical western music of which Princess Galyani was so fond and supportive.
[B]It was a truly fitting tribute to a princess who was a sister of two kings, a dedicated teacher and educator, an advocate of the arts, and a supporter of health and welfare services for the people.[/B]

[B][SIZE="4"]Progress in Thai-Cambodia talks [/SIZE][/B]
By Jonathan Head
BBC News, Bangkok
[B]Thailand and Cambodia have pledged to begin placing markers along their common border and withdraw troops from around a disputed temple. [/B]
The move came in a meeting of foreign ministers aimed at preventing further clashes after four soldiers were killed in an exchange of fire last month.
The two countries have just finished three days of talks on the dispute.
But they say obstacles remain to settling sovereignty of the land around the temple, which lies inside Cambodia.
[B]'99% successful' [/B]
After days of talks the language from both foreign ministers was so relaxed and conciliatory you would hardly have known their soldiers were shooting at each other less than a month ago.
[B]Cambodian Foreign Minister Hor Namhong described the talks as a "big practical step forward", and his Thai counterpart Sompong Amornwiwat said they had achieved "99%" of what they had hoped. [/B]
In reality, though, all they agreed was to start the difficult task of hammering out a deal on the border, and to scale down the armed stand-off around the ancient Preah Vihear temple.
[B]Troops will be withdrawn early next year, and in the meantime instructed to avoid further armed clashes.
And the two countries will begin marking out the border, which runs for nearly 800km (500 miles), much of it heavily mined.
They say they will make the stretch next to the temple their first priority - but this will certainly prove the hardest bit of border to mark, as both countries claim a 5-sq-km (1.9-sq-mile) patch of land around the temple, and each is working from different maps. [/B]
With nationalist feelings still running high over the temple, which in July was listed by Cambodia as a World Heritage Site, neither government is likely to back down over the claim.
Thailand's room for manoeuvre is even narrower, as every agreement it makes with Cambodia must now be approved by parliament.

[SIZE="4"][B]Thai-Malaysian Joint Border Marker Inspection Task Force at work[/B][/SIZE]
Thai-Malaysian Joint Border Marker Inspection Task Force was sent to discover the border marker along Thai-Malaysian border. They found that many markers were destroyed by suspected southern Thailand militants in an attempt to confuse both Thai and Malaysian troops and make it eailer for them to flee. Both country will rebuild those destroyed marker again.
Thailand and Malaysia were successfully definded the border line along Thai-Malaysian border through negotiation and mutual benefit many years ago. Thailand and Malaysia shares its gas well in the gulf of Thailand and leave the land that fail to defind the owner as 'No man's land' in which both countries will not claim for it. Since then, both contries rarely experienced the border conflict and all confilct is a minor issue that quickly resolved by talking.

November 14, 2008
On 13 November 2008, H.E. Mr. Sompong Amornvivat, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, gave a press conference at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the Third Thai-Cambodian Foreign Ministers’ Meeting held in Siem Reap, Cambodia, on 12 November to discuss issues concerning the area adjacent to the Temple of Phra Viharn. The ministerial meeting was preceded by the meeting of the Thai-Cambodian Joint Boundary Commission (JBC) on 10-12 November.
The Thai Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister described the meeting with H.E. Mr. Hor Namhong, Deputy Foreign Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of Cambodia as well as that of the JBC as amicable with both sides showing readiness to accommodate each other’s concerns. [B]The Minister took the opportunity to reiterate his appreciation to his counterpart and the Cambodian officials for the warm hospitality extended to the Thai delegation. He also expressed his appreciation for the work done by both delegations in the JBC, which on the Thai side was led by the newly appointed JBC Co-Chair Vasin Teeravechyan.[/B]
On the outcome of the meeting with his counterpart, Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sompong said both sides were able to agree on most of the issues on the table, with only two issues pending.
[B] The first was the question of how the Temple should be called in the Provisional Arrangements and other documents – the name used by the Thai side being “Phra Viharn” as also appears in the negotiation framework approved by the Thai Parliament, while that used by the Cambodian side “Preah Vihear”. The other issue was about the details of troop redeployment, concerning which Cambodia proposed certain changes. [/B]
Because these two issues depart from the negotiation framework earlier endorsed by the Thai Parliament, Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sompong said, the Thai side would have to seek approval from Parliament. He also added that during the meeting, he had explained to his Cambodian counterpart that the Thai side, in negotiating with Cambodia, had to abide by the negotiation framework endorsed by its Parliament through the process prescribed in the Thai Constitution, and that any matter that deviated in substance from that framework would have to be brought back for consultation with Parliament. [B]In the meantime, the Minister said, he had established a hotline with the Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, which he would use as and when necessary.[/B]
In response to a question posed, the Thai Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister said on Thailand’s part, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs would report the outcomes of the Foreign Ministers’ Meeting and of the JBC to the Cabinet and seek the Cabinet’s decision to submit the two pending issues to the Parliament for its consideration as soon as possible. As for other issues that do not require parliamentary approval, Thailand and Cambodia would be able to proceed as agreed.
In response to another query raised by the press about which documents would be used in the survey and demarcation work of land boundary, especially in the Phra Viharn area, with Cambodia saying it would use the map done by France. Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sompong said that the Thai side would primarily use the 1904 Convention and 1907 Treaty between Siam and France, while also taking into account other relevant documents. The map referred to by Cambodia was one among other relevant documents, which – Director-General of the Department of Treaties and Legal Affairs Virachai Plasai added – had to be considered together and read in conjunction with the Convention and Treaty.The Director-General also said the JBC has agreed to establish a working group to look at legal matters. The working group is scheduled to meet in January 2009.

On 13th Nov. A specific protest on Kathin ceremony, an annual buddisht merit-making event, in Keo Sikha Kiri Savara Pagoda.
[SIZE="4"][B]Thailand protests Cambodia against the Kathin ceremony held by Cambodia on 12 November 2008 at the “Keo Sikha Kiri Savara Pagoda” in the Thai territory [/B][/SIZE]
November 14, 2008, 5:32 pm
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Thailand has lodged a protest, through an Aide-Memoire dated 13 November, 2008, to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of Cambodia, regarding the Kathin ceremony held by Cambodian authorities on 12 November 2008 at the “Keo Sikha Kiri Savara” Pagoda in the Thai territory, as well as the illegal presence of the said Pagoda on the Thai soils. Thailand considers such presence and activities to be a violation of her sovereignty and territorial integrity. Text of the said Aide-Memoire is as follows:
[B]“AIDE-MEMOIRE[/B]
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Thailand has the honour to draw the attention of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of the Kingdom of Cambodia to the Kathin ceremony held by the Cambodian authorities on 12 November 2008 at the “Keo Sikha Kiri Savara” Pagoda in the Thai territory. The local Thai authorities in Srisaket Province reported that approximately 500 Cambodian nationals, 100 Cambodian military personnel, 30 Cambodian Buddhist monks, 37 Cambodian Buddhist novices and 70 vehicles from Cambodia intruded into the Thai territory to attend the said ceremony without permission from the Thai authorities.
[B] The illegal presence of the “Keo Sikha Kiri Savara” Pagoda in the Thai territory, as well as the above-mentioned activities constitute a flagrant and willful violation of Thailand’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. The Ministry therefore has the honour to put on record its protest in the strongest terms against these presence and activities.[/B]
The Ministry has further the honour to reaffirm its commitment to working constructively and closely with Cambodia within the existing framework of the Thai - Cambodian Joint Boundary Commission on Demarcation for Land Boundary (JBC) with a view to settling boundary issues in a just, peaceful and amicable manner, and in accordance with international law.

[SIZE="4"][B]Thailand protests Cambodia against various incidents that took place on 7 November 2008 in the Phra Viharn area [/B][/SIZE]
November 14, 2008, 4:49 pm
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Thailand has lodged a protest, through an Aide-Memoire dated 12 November, 2008, to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of Cambodia regarding the various incidents occurred in the area adjacent to the Phra Viharn Temple that constitute a violation of Thailand’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. Text of the said Aide-Memoire is as follows:
[B]“AIDE-MEMOIRE[/B]
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Thailand has the honour to draw the attention of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of the Kingdom of Cambodia to various incidents that took place on 7 November 2008 in the Phra Viharn area. The Thai local authorities in Srisaket province reported that: [B](1) Cambodian authorities erected 3 flag posts for Cambodian national flag and UNESCO flags at the Temple and in the area adjacent to the Temple, as well as constructed 2 signboards near the bottom of the stairways of the Temple; (2) Cambodian officials travelled on land from the Kingdom of Cambodia through the Thai territory to participate in a ceremony to erect the said 3 flag posts at the Temple and in the area adjacent to the Temple without permission from the Thai authorities; and (3) a religious ceremony is being planned for 12 November 2008 at Keo Sikha Kiri Savara Pagoda, which is situated in the Thai territory.[/B] As these activities have been and will be carried out within the Thai territory without prior consent from the Kingdom of Thailand, they constitute a flagrant and willful violation of Thailand’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Since the area on the promontory adjacent to the Phra Viharn Temple is part of Thai territory, Cambodian officials must seek permission from the Royal Thai Government before they enter the said area. [B]Moreover, the erection of any signpost/emblem must be made within the “Property” of the Phra Viharn Temple as defined in paragraph 9 of the decision 32 COM 8B.102 of the 32nd session of the World Heritage Committee in Quebec. The Royal Thai Government will not tolerate the construction or erection of signpost/emblem or any structure outside the “Property” as so defined.[/B]
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Thailand hereby reaffirms its commitment to working constructively and cooperate closely with Cambodia within the existing framework of the Thai - Cambodian Joint Boundary Commission on Demarcation for Land Boundary (JBC) with a view to resolving boundary issues in a just and peaceful manner in accordance with international law.

[B]BANG TAO: Phuket Governor Preecha Ruangjan yesterday went to personally inspect progress on the sinking of the “Coral Reef Squadron”, an artificial reef project being sunk about two kilometers off the coast at Bang Tao Bay. [/B]
Like many newcomers to Phuket, the new governor, who comes from landlocked Phichit province, is allocating some time here to learn how to dive.
Rainer Gottwald, President of the Thai Dive Association’s Technical Committee that is overseeing work, said everything is going according to schedule despite some strong currents and poor visibility at the project site.
After the submarine inspection, Gov Preecha gave interviews to the national and international press urging people not to cancel their holidays and to visit Phuket to catch a glimpse of the island's latest tourist attraction.
[B]The sinking of the final Douglas C-47 Dakota Skytrain aircraft will take place tomorrow, when a big “grand opening” event is planned by the TDA, the For Sea Foundation, the Cherng Talay Tambon Administration Organization and many other state and local government agencies. [/B]
A source at the Tourism Authority of Thailand Southern Region 4 Office said this afternoon that they cannot confirm whether or not Mr Weerasak will be able to attend

nice i always thought the REVA was a nice looking vehicle and i think it will definitely be a productive addition to the RTA operations in the south.
