Th 17 - Bangkok International Airport

Time to departure. Well what I do achieve from my visit? I know that my experience can't compared to others and it will not make me understand of both countries. But this visit has give me ideas on what happened to the others.

We all living in one world - we share the common air, land and water. Only due to our difference, we make classification and claimed that it belong to us. Yet we try to forget that we all come from a same father and mother - Adam and Eve.

Being in Cambodia has enlighten me on what war had influenced the lime of Cambodian. War never made for a good reason but most of the leaders preferred it as main choice. Sometimes we didn't bother to think of the aftermath. Guess human minds despite given by God able to choose good upon bad - we seems to make the latter option. However Cambodia did strive for their future. Only the leader and their people can change their country.

In Thailand much more different situation. Being the only country haven't been occupied by the European colonies makes them proud of their history. It makes them strongly trust their King and remain faith to their religion. The Thai did enjoy their life - more or less. But I can't hide my feeling toward Thailand on what have they done to other countries previously. Many history that actually were Lao's and Khmer's but finally fell to them. Really - history wrote by the winner! And I do pray that our brother in the South (Muslim and Malay) will always remain unite and strength will to overcome the difficult task.
