The first secretary of the Thai embassay in Phnom Penh was expelled from Cambodia because of the spy row, Puea Thai Party MP Jatuporn Promphan said on Friday.
Mr Jatuporn, who is also a leader of the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship, said the expulsion was prompted by interference in Cambodian internal affairs by the Thai embassy, which had stolen information on the flight plans of ousted prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra.
He was referring to the arrest of Siwarak Chotipong, an employee of Cambodia Air Traffic Services, who is alleged to have passed the information to a Thai diplomat.
Mr Jatuporn said the Thai embassy's action was a serious breach of diplomatic ethics. Cambodian authorities had good evidence, he said.
The Puea Thai MP denied a report by a foreign news agency that Thaksin was in Cambodia in April when the Songkran riots took place in Thailand.
