Fugitive former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra Thursday accused the Thai government of using false patriotism to bar him from helping a neighbouring country improve its economic development.
In his lecture to some 300 senior officials from Cambodia's public and private sectors, Thaksin said he would use his doctrine to help a neighbour prosper for the benefit of his home country Thailand.
"I see a lot of synergy between your country and my country. What is good for you will also be good for my country...Prosperity of a neighbour means opportunities for us to grow together," he said- but noted not all of his Thai compatriots agreed with him.
"I do not believe those who don't share our vision right now are myopic. Their domestic political compulsions force them to false patriotism. Let's pray that they too will one day appreciate this partnership for progress," he said.

It's good. Isn't it? Why constantly making trouble with your neighbor. Thailand under Abhisit isn't going anywhere. Same goes with ASEAN. Got one biggest problem with Abhisit.
i know, that was the obvious reason why they ousted mr. thaksin in the first place because greedy siem pad thugs don't want to see cambodia competing with thailand for the tourist dollars, development, etc... isn't that the sign of your enemy, really! only enemy wishes others to stay weak and stay ingorant they can benefit from it all by themselves. hey, we all know this is not the dark ages any more, you know! siem has bad karma, really!
