Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Sen did not offer fugitive ex-Thai PM Thaksin Shinawatra a home in Cambodia, Cambodia's spokesman Khieu Kanharith.
"He didn't say that," Khieu Kanharith said. "Some people have said we would allow Thaksin to have a permanent home in Cambodia - it's not true."
He claimed Hun Sen had been misquoted by the media.
This was the latest twist of the talk between Hun Sen and Gen Chavalit Yongchaiyudh who recently visited Phnom Penh as chief advisor of Pheu Thai party.
Arriving in Bangkok after a one-day visit to Phnom Penh on Wednesday, Chavalit told reporters that Hun Sen offered to build a home for Thaksin who was runaway from a two-year jail term on charge of abuse of power and corruption.
Chavalit quoted Hun Sen as telling him during the talk, "We have been great friends since Thaksin was businessman and the relationship has remained the same since he entered politics."
"Though I'm not Thai, I'm hurt by what has happened to him. My wife even cried on knowing about it and has an idea to build a home for Thaksin to come and stay honourably."
Meanwhile Phnom Penh-based Rasmei Kampuchea newspaper quoted Hun Sen as telling Khmer reporters, "I consider Thakshin as my eternal friend. Cambodia will welcome him to stay here for anytime. I make the house available for him at any time if he decides to visit Cambodia. I also talked with Chavalit about the cooperation between Puea Thai Party and Cambodian People's Party."

This idiot must be very drunk when Hun Sen announcing publicly therefore he couldn't hear what Hun sen had said.
Here is one of the reason why Cambodia has so many problems and all CPP members are still not seeing those problem because each of them are just like idiot Kanharith.
CPP youth
I REALLY DONT UNDERSTAND...
But I still wait and watch the GAME
I would like to see Thai's gov't stop speaking about their own political views and pin point it onto Cambodia as Cambodia has enough problem as it is if Mr Thaksin decided to come to Cambodia, it is at his own will and they have to deal with it themselves. It is like two brothers fighting with each other and than one decided to run to the neighbour's house to seek for help. As a good neighbour we can not sack this person away and say get out. Buddha and Christ said "When people knock the door will be opened and when people ask for help he/she will get helped'. So, as for Thai gov't you have no right to get upset with the helper but you can get upset with your own brother. So, you must separate between the helper and the seeker. So, Thai gov’t needs to sort things out for themselves and stop accusing or telling Cambodia gov’t what to do and you can not hate us as being the helper for god sake. Aust
The wheel is turning against the CHAKRI family now.Chakri himself housed Khmer quarrelled royalties when he subjugated Cambodia in late 1700's.
CHAKRI's Rama IX quarrelled with Thaksin who ran the country then booted him out of power by doggy PREM.
Not offer a home but offer the country.
