ประเทศไทย? I guess the Thais don't put much stock in the 1962 World Court decision that gave Wat Preah Vihear to Cambodia.

I read an article on this and it looks like a turn of the twentieth century treaty said the border would follow a watershed line in this region which would put the Wat in Thailand. The official map, however, inexplicably put it in Cambodia. For whatever reason Thailand never protested until decades later. As far as I can make out the World Court awarded it to Cambodia on a legal concept that under American law would be like adverse possession - sleeping on one’s rights while another occupied their property.
