About this listen
A thousand-year-old Hindu temple has once again become the flashpoint between two Buddhist nations in Southeast Asia. In this episode, we explore the complex and often volatile dispute between Thailand and Cambodia over the Preah Vihear Temple—an ancient site perched dramatically on a disputed border.
We break down:
🗺️ The colonial roots of the territorial disagreement
⚖️ How international courts have ruled—and what they left unresolved
🔥 The 2025 border skirmish and what triggered the latest diplomatic fallout
🇰🇭🇹🇭 Why the temple matters so deeply to both Cambodian and Thai national identities
🌐 The broader regional and geopolitical implications for ASEAN
This is more than a land dispute. It’s a story of memory, nationalism, and the unfinished legacy of empire.
