Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya said Wednesday that he has never ordered Thai Embassy in Cambodia's First Secretary Kamrob Palawatwichai to seek flight information of former PM Thaksin Shinawatra.
"Kamrob performed his normal duty in accordance with Thai judicial enforcement to have extradition of convicted Thaksin " Kasit said in a statement.
The Foreign Ministry's seeking extradition of Thaksin is no different from the ministry extraditing other convicted fugitives who have fled justice, he said.
Following confirmation of Thaksin's arrival in Phnom Penh, the Thai embassy has a duty to report back to the ministry so that it may inform the Office of Attorney General to process the extradition request, Kasit said.
Pardoned spy Sivarak Chutipong who was convicted for seven years on charge of spying on Thakin's flight information demanded Kamrob to explain why he asked the engineer to share such information and who was behind the action.
Thaksin said Tuesday that Kamrob got an assignment from his boss in Bangkok to seek the flight information.
Government's spokesman Panitan Wattanayagorn said earlier that the diplomat Kamrob would come out to tell his account soon.
However Kasit said it is not the norm of the foreign ministry to have it official explain to public such normal function.
Both Chutipong and Kamrob are political victims as their cases were used as a political tool, Kasit said.
Both of them have already taken the legal consequence as Kamrob was expelled from Cambodia as a persona non-grata while Sivarak had to serve jail term.
The diplomat Kamrob has provided necessary assistance to Sivarak and expressed his regret for the incident, the minister said, adding that both have known each other for long time.

Ahbullshit Vejjajiva and Kashit Piromya MUST resign.
So there must be a communication broke down in the Thai government. Who is the boss?
Frankly...
The first to be kick out should be Kwack Sen !
And he will never resign !
Preah Vihear temple is so simple.
He make it as difficult, the ignorant cambodian's peoples will
see him as hero, when it's will be settle !
Just show the fucking map of 1907.
And recognize, Khmer Krom as khmer.
CPP give khmer krom to Yuons !
Lahaie's decision was based from the 1907's map !
So if Khmer Krom is not cambodian's land,
So no one can really claim Preah Vihear !
Yuons don't want CPP to show the map of 1907 !
Hun Sen has said that Kamrop Palawatwichai was hidden by Abhisit Vejjajiva Gov't at undisclose locations...
