Thai tensions rise over Thaksin Shinawatra’s Cambodian role - Times Online

Tensions between Cambodia and Thailand were inflamed yesterday after Thaksin Shinawatra, the ousted Thai Prime Minister, was welcomed in Phnom Penh.

Relations between the neighbours — engaged in a border dispute — deteriorated further after Thaksin accepted a new role as economic adviser to the Cambodian Prime Minister, Hun Sen.

The move was seen in Bangkok as a provocation and Thai opponents of Thaksin threatened to demonstrate against his return to the region.
