The Abhisit government, congenitally beholden to the army, took its cue and effectively reneged on the Indonesia-brokered peace drive. It was a blow not only to Indonesia as the chair of Association of Southeast Asian Nations this year, but also to ASEAN itself, particularly given the organization’s quest to become an ASEAN Community by 2015.
于是泰国军方放弃了其中立立场，转而变得好斗起来。它单方面拒绝在泰柬边境部署区域观察员的安排，而这一安排是由印尼外交部长马提·纳塔莱加瓦在2月斡旋设立的。而以军方做后台的阿披实政府则接受了这一暗示并随即推翻了由印尼斡旋的和平进程。这不但等于打了东南亚联盟主席国印尼一个耳光，也是对东南亚联盟本身的当头一棒，尤其是当该组织正寻求在2015年组成东南亚共同体的时候。
