The government has no plan to close the Thai embassy in Phnom Penh, even though Cambodia has now expelled the embassy's first secretary, Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said Friday.
Kamrob Palawatwicha, the first secretary, was declared "persona non grata" on Thursday and ordered to leave the country within 48 hours. In response, Thailand expelled the Cambodian first secretary from Bangkok.
Mr Abhisit said the government would not fall into a trap set by Cambodia and would be careful when deciding its next moves.
"We have to understand why they are provoking us. We will not make precipitous decisions," Mr Abhisit told reporters. "We will protect our benefits and will not be drawn by their psychological games."
Mr Abhisit said Cambodia's announced plan to withdraw some troops from disputed area near Preah Vihear temple was another ploy to convince Unesco's World Heritage Committee that there were no tensions between the two countries in that area.

Thailand has just flip flop again! they got mad and want close embassy, close border with Khmer and now they change their fucken minds agian..? this country is full of Childish Govts...
Thailand is full of Shit!
abhisit is smart in class room but not a street smart like hun sen. when it come to real life situation he can't do damn thing.
It makes sense a lot...while Hun Sen is busy to handle border issue with Thailand, Sam Rainsy is busy to handle border issue with Vietnam.
But now everything is in contradict because CPP's parliamentarians are in hurry to lift Sam Rainsy's immunity because of his courage to protect Cambodian border at the eastern zone.
Let all of us including CPP's members wake up to unite Khmers together and build our country by our own or self-reliance.

Close or Open again Close or Open, the way of the Thai's behavior.
Are you ready to send the yellow shirt to close all borders with Cambodia ?
I dare all of you and your crazy prime minister to close our (Thai)embassy, and you'll see what will happen to your country economically. Cambodia cannot survive without Thai.
Again, I dare your crazy leader to close our embassy. I don't think your crazy leader has the balls.
Vietnam – Cambodia oil and gas contract signed
Thailand Flip Flop in English and Alip Alop in Khmer.
