Thailand vs burma

[george stando]

I just love these mad border battles, they are a bit crazy but very entertaining:

What's up with the bad blood between these two?

[george stando]

Its a yearly thing, goes back to when burma sacked the main kingdom in thailand and destroyed all the libraries, etc, and then thailand retook it back. Their history is a see saw battle between them which they sort of celebrate each year. You can look up the history of the two countries on line for more of that. They still have border skirmishes and stuff like that so its not entirely peaceful between the two countries still. Cambodia and thailand have bad blood between them too so much so that the cambodians for the most part refuse to compete against the thais.
