A conflict between these two countries began after a soldier lost a leg to an illegal PMN-2 land mine. One of these two countries uses a 1:50,000 scale map, and the other uses a 1:200,000 scale map drawn when it was a French colony. A leader of one of these countries called a leader of the other “uncle” in a phone call, which led to her suspension as Prime Minister. Sites disputed between these countries in the (*) Emerald Triangle include Prasat Ta Moan Thom and Preah Vihear (“preh wi-HEER”). A conflict between these two countries, then led by Hun Manet and Paetongtarn Shinawatra (“pet-on-TAHN shin-uh-WATT”), resulted in a ceasefire in July. For 10 points, name these two countries which recently fought over temples from the Khmer empire on their shared border. ■END■
