According to the Global times and Moderndiplomacy, it is due to the legacy of French colonialism.

Short answer:

“Many of the issues are not due to deep-rooted animosity between Thailand and Cambodia themselves, but rather stem from the lingering problems left behind when French colonialists withdrew,” Song Zhongping, a Chinese military affairs expert, told the Global Times on Thursday.

French

I came into this thread knowing basically nothing about the conflict but suspecting it's the French. And of course.
