What if the Khmer Rouge, for whatever reason, would have decided to pick a fight with Thailand rather than with Vietnam?

Basically, in this TL, the Khmer Rouge will try to foster and encourage Khmer separatism in Thailand as well as to launch cross-border incursions and whatnot into Thailand. Indeed, AFAIK, unlike Vietnam, Thailand actually have some Khmer-majority areas:

How would Thailand respond to such moves on the part of the Khmer Rouge? Also, how will other countries react to this?

Any thoughts on all of this?
