BANGKOK, Nov 6 (TNA) – Thailand may consider closing the Thai-Cambodian border if Cambodia still adopts a hardline approach to the bilateral ties, said Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban.
Thailand had been tolerant but had to apply diplomatic channel to downgrade relations after Cambodian issued an official statement appointing ousted and convicted Thai prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra as an advisor. How long it is going to be depends on the next stance of the Cambodian side, he said.
Mr Suthep said that the situation at border is still normal and doesn’t intensify to the certain level that needs reinforcement.
He said he has not yet contacted Cambodian prime minister. Thailand may consider sealing off the border if Cambodia responds in an uncompromising manner. There has been no report that Thai businesses there are affected by downgraded relations.
Mr Suthep said he ordered police deployment to protect the Cambodian embassy in Bangkok and that Cambodia should also do the same to protect Thai embassy and Thai businesses there.
The Thai government may set up a joint committee of the Attorney General, the police and the minister of foreign affairs to prepare to ask for the extradition of Mr Thaksin, said Mr Suthep.
He affirmed that the row is the issue of the two neighbouring countries. It’s not an international issue and doesn’t need the of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) country to mediate.

Who from Cambodia will care about your Thai's move to close border. Thais, you will lose more!
let's them close the border. who will lose more? cambodia or thailand? let's bring merchandises from china, we do not need products from thailand.

We don't want those items from Thailand any way. They have exported items with expiration and over due foods to us.

It doesn't need an Oxford degree to know that the border closure will only hurt the Thai merchants. After all, what does Cambodian have to sell to Thailand? Further more, you are going to piss off these poor merchants and driving them to Thaksin's camp even more.
