PHNOM PENH - FUGITIVE former Thai premier Thaksin Shinawatra arrived in Cambodia on Wednesday for his third trip as a controversial economic adviser to the country, said a government spokesman.
Thaksin, whose visits have stoked a diplomatic row between the Thai and Cambodian governments, landed in a private jet at Phnom Penh International Airport, spokesman Khieu Kanharith told AFP. 'He has arrived. He just landed,' Khieu Kanharith said. 'I don't know about his itinerary yet.'
Thailand and Cambodia recalled their ambassadors in November and expelled senior diplomats over Cambodian premier Hun Sen's appointment of Thaksin, who is living abroad to avoid a jail term for corruption in his home country.
Tensions between the neighbouring countries soared further when Phnom Penh then refused to extradite Thaksin during his first visit to Cambodia in his new role.
During his previous stays in Cambodia, Thaksin has addressed top government officials on how to boost investment, tourism and agriculture. He also met scores of his 'Red Shirt' supporters from Thailand, where he remains a hugely influential figure.
Before Thaksin's appointment as an adviser, relations between Thailand and Cambodia were already tense due to a string of deadly gunbattles at their disputed border, where troops have faced off since July 2008.

Ah Kwak Kbot Cheat Hun Xen treats his crimate Thaksin better then his own people in Cambodia.
He constantly threats and abuses Cambodia for too long. Someone should somlap ah kwak before it's too late. Cambodia will never have any chance to improve as long as Ah Kwak Kbot Cheat Hun Xen is in power.
10:09PM, I agree someone should.
Hun Xen live = Khmer die, Nation destroyed
Is Cambodian government looking for war against Thailand ?
At the beginning Taksin was Hun Sen private economic adviser.
Now Taksin is Cambodian government economic adviser.
A contry hires an out-law of another country.

What kind of passport you have ?
The world knew better the Khmer Krom, but not Khmer Thai.
We don't need Thai to liberate, because we are independent and free. We also don't accept to be third class citizen of Thailand.

Thailand could have done that when Governor Sek Sam Iet of Battambang had escaped the brutal regime of Khmer Rouge and had been living in Thailand in mid 1975 until about...or who knows?, but they chose not to. Both American & Thailand were so blind by the vietnam war. Therefore was allowing the Khmer Rouge to kill all the good and freedom Khmer or Khmer Serei. Those 2 millions death were mostly Khmer rich and Khmer Lon Nol. There is no way Thailand can liberate Cambodia now. Its' too late.
The third trip of Thaksin gets even better than the first two.
Things getting more and more interested.
A snow ball is begun to roll down hill.
Thailand could one day be a country of civil war and Cambodia will be their safe heaven. Similar to how Cambodia was in the 80s but only reserve trend.
don't worry the war would explode anytime without notice. thai will use their heavy artillery and fighter jets point it to hunsen properties. thai will take hunsen to hell. once the mission is accomplished thai's army will leave cambodia in the same day. the only target is hunsen and his corrupted parties, not khmer pple. that how u get stupid crooked eyes hunsen when you expropriate khmer pple's land, stole UN's aids for your own interest. sooner or later u will go to 7th floor of hell.
Cambodia wercome Thaksin , the real leader elected by the thai people. Who elected Hun Sen ?
Cambodia wercome Thaksin , the real leader elected by the thai people. Who elected Hun Sen ?

The real leader elected by the Thai people and of course the real leader also overthrown by the real Thai armies while Thaksin addressing the UN. So tell me when Thais will becoming a real people.
10:09 and 10:12, both of you go and kill Hun Sen.
11:00AM,
10:09 and 10:12 is from America. They don't really care about Cambodia. If the Cambodian population in Cambodia don't have the guts then oh well.... It's them who suffered and lost. Khmer abroads don't have to care if they don't want too. They can always go where-else for vacation that are better then that stupid country.
12:04am, you must be on drugs or drunkard...
