Bangkok, Thailand - Kingdom of
THAI PROTESTERS SET FIRE TO A CAMBODIAN FLAG IN BANGKOK.
Thai protesters set fire to a Cambodian flag, featuring the Angkor Wat
temple, in front of the Cambodian embassy in Bangkok on January 30,
2003 in response to anti-Thai riots in Phnom Penh. A nationalist mob
torched the Thai embassy in the Cambodian capital of Phnom Penh on
Wednesday before ransacking the premises of Thai-owned businesses. The
riots broke out in Phnom Penh on Wednesday, sparked by remarks
reportedly made by a Thai actress that Angkor Wat, Cambodia's top
cultural icon, belongs to Thailand. The actress has denied making the
comments. REUTERS/ Sukree Sukplang
