Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban reaffirmed on Wednesday Thailand will not resort to closing its border with Cambodia, which has rejected its request to extradite Thaksin Shinawatra.
He declined to comment on the Cambodian refusal, saying he would rather wait to see the official reply letter than engaging in a verbal spat through the media.
There were international diplomatic channels that could be followed in this matter, Mr Suthep said.
Mr Suthep, who is in charge of security affairs, said the Thai government would not resort "special" measures, such as sending forces into Cambodia to bring Thaksin back to Thailand, because each country has its own sovereignty to protect.
What Thailand could do now was to send an official letter explaining to Cambodia that Thaksin is a criminal, not political, convict and that the two countries have an extradition treaty and should comply with it, he said.
Asked about Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen's challenging Thailand to close the border, Mr Suthep said a politician's expression of emotion could not be taken seriously.
He said Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva's policy is for security agencies to protect Thai sovereignty and make sure that the people along the border can lead happy, normal lives.
People on both sides had relatives across the border who and maintained commercial links Their daily lives should not be disturbed by a conflict between governments, Mr Suthep said.

"sending forces into cambodia to bring thaksin back"
that is what I call an insult to cambodia.
Hun sen should send forces to capture raimsy when he was there criticising hun sen.
Go a head and close the border. Such a childish immature government. Heck, this is the role model of ASEAN. Total embarrassment.
If you(Siamese) do mean you provoke the war with Cambodia!
So Cambodia will be reply rocket from VietNam in the Midle of Bangkor and in The house of Thai King!
Your Government Abhesip almost come to deadlock!
Thailand is not a civilian country any more because the leading by Abhesip Vejjiva !
Tell all Yellow Shirt and their go back to school to study Khmer and Siamese history again Do make a fool !
Ahbi-shit, please also send a letter to request for extradition of the so called Siamese crocodiles from the Cardamom mountain of Cambodia also!
Thailand is crying with no tears drop...hahaha! go a head close the border, we don't care much, your people will suffer more than us stupid num nuts!
This is good! to teach Thai some lessons! not to flip flop with khmer....
Funny! Funny! Funny!
The current Thai government act like a child. If you do not make this a big noise your face will not lose much like today. Don't even mention about sending forces to bring Taksin from Cambodia, this is a supid language. He is under a sepcial protection by Hun Sen and how can you do so. You means sending your special force like USA. Take back you words.
You should remember the USA model in Irac and Afganistan now. You should also learn more about Cambodia. Can French, Thais, Vietnam, USA, China and Russia occupy Cambodia. Whenever Cambodia was under attack by foreign forces, Cambodian stand up and fight back with all means. So far Vietnam still gathering their soldiers bones from Cambodia as well as USA.
Cambodian peopel are poor and can adapt well with the difficulty circumstances unlike your Thais who never had this type of experience. Go back and rethink better use peaceful means with Cambodian government but with trustable attitude. One day, your government can be good friend with our, if your government will be alive till and after the gerneral election of Thailand. Don't use economic or military pressure against Cambodia, we experienced already. This is my good advice to Thai leaders.
It's is so funny that Thailand acting like 5 years old child, what a embarrassment! Thailand is the country of civilized my ass...!! Thailand is the country full of childish Govt....hahahaha!
