According to the Thai, Koh Tral is a Thai name. "Tral" in Thai means "distant". The Thai meant that Koh Tral is a distant island, far away from Bangkok, at the rim of Thai influence and control.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the etymology of Koh Tral in Khmer? Why Koh Tral is named as such? Remember, Koh Tral or properly named, Phu Quoc in International record is very close to Cambodia. Why is the island named "distant island" in Thai?
Btw, Vietnam is developing Phu Quoc in to a very nice tropical paradise. Khmer folks need to save up money if they want to visit Phu Quoc. It's getting expensive there soon.
It should say: the evil Yuon patrols over its puppet Hun Sen Men Sam An.
