Foreign Minister Noppadon Pattama came under verbal assault from a marathon runner who called him a "traitor" just has he was taking off from the starting block.
Noppadon was standing next to US Ambassador Eric John at the starting point of the race, witnesses said. The two men co-chaired the opening ceremony of the marathon commemorating the 35th anniversary celebration of the Thai-US relationship.
According to witnesses, the runner shouted "Noppadon, you're a traitor" three time as he ran pass the minister.
The embarassed minister reportedly told Ambassador John, "This can happen in the democratic system."
Noppadon and the government have been strongly criticised by the opposition and the protesters led by People's Alliance for Democracy of having hidden agenda in endorsing Cambodia's bid to list Preah Vihear Temple as a Unesco Heritage Site.

Mate 11:00PM. I think you smoke crack cocaine. Why is the guy who shouted at FM of Thailand is ah Khmer_Youn? He is Thai and he shouted at his own FM.
Just forget about 11:00 PM, he's crazy, you know mental problem.
i don't know why thailand's dignitaries let their pad thugs and ignorant people tell them and walk all over them like that. fight back mr. noppadon and others! these pad thugs are on illegal drugs or something.
Don't you know that those pad thugs are King Phumibol's weapons or little people who can rise whenever he wants them to?
