A Cambodian government official says former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra has left the country but he refused to divulge where the media tycoon was headed.
Deputy minister Prak Sokhon says Thaksin flew out of the country on his private jet Saturday. He would not reveal his destination.
Thaksin, a former telecommunications billionaire, was ousted by a 2006 military coup. He fled Thailand last year to avoid imprisonment on a corruption charge and now spends most of his time in Dubai.
Thaksin's warm welcome in Cambodia came after he was named an economic adviser to Prime Minister Hun Sen. The move has strained already uneasy bilateral relations between the two Southeast Asia neighbors.

Good riddance.
Gov't must focus on increasing in population growth especially locating them around the Preah Vihear area. Please try to migrate more Viets because they are the one who involved in helping the Khmer people from Pol Pot regime. Don't forget " what goes around comes around". So, help them and they will help us! they will become part of our citizens and will have no problem fighting with the Thai in the near future, so act now and act fast! Khmer intelegent abroad
