The Foreign Ministry will recheck a news report that ousted former prime minister Thaksin Shnawatra has been given a Cambodian nationality since 2008, secretary-general to the foreign minister Chavanont Intharakomalsuth said on Friday afternoon.
“The ministry had already made an initial double-check with the Cambodian authority but has received no response. A serious recheck will be further carried out”, Mr Chavanont said.
Buranat Samutrak, spokesman of the Democrat Party, earlier this after noon claimed that the Intelligent News [Khmer Intelligence News], a Cambodian news agency, had on Feb 1 reported that Thaksin has received Cambodian nationality since March 2008.
King Norodom Sihamoni of Cambodia had directed relevant Cambodian officials to keep this matter a top secret, he added.
“This has been able Thaksin to obtain passport and conveniently travel to and from Cambodia”, Mr Buranat said. He had forwarded the document to Mr Chavanont for fact finding.
Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said on Friday that he had no knowledge about changing nationality of Thaksin. But he insisted that Thaksin can have only one nationality.
If he gained Cambodian nationality, he would have to abandon the Thai one, he said.

Mr. Abhisit also holds UK citizenship as well as Thai.
Prince Norodom Ranariddh also holds French citizenship as well as Khmer.
Why not Thaksin hold Khmer citizenship as well as Thai?
Do Thais in the US have to relinguish their Thai citizenships?
Perhaps, Mr. Abhisit should consider stop making political issues out of this...
Idiot 9:36PM,
If Taksin has Khmer citizenship and Thai citizenship law doesn't allow to have 2 citizenships, Taksin will lost Thai citizenship.
Sam Rainsy has two citizenships because French citizenship law allows.
Good 2:09AM!
I heard people want to organize an organization represent the Khmerrouge Victimes!
One small purpose that sound so loud is about getting compansation as a group or and small token to organize a religion ceremony!
That sound so sad and scary to me!
Today Cambodia people kind of thinking that money can solve anything from get away from raping to muder, to accid attack!
Do we want to send a maasage that what Khmerrouge Victimes want is not justice and thruth but money? Money is more iportant than justice and life?
Mr. Chom Mey the Self called KhmerRouge Victime Who Only Dared to Loook At Duch in Eyes to Eyes, preferes some money and 50% justice!
What is 50% justice ?
Justice for the Camodian now (Since we all victimes) is the thruth of what happening! Since real thruth could never be found or not only just one thruth! we want to hear the lawyers crose exame of who saw or involve with the crime!Specially the higher
rank!
We want this process of justice to teach the next generation of how not to let the crime to be happening against from the point of view of the King down to a poor hadicape citizen!
We want notthing more thant gathering as many thruth as posible. NO money nor imprison any body! But what was wrong who did wrong, and how was wrong!
So the whole country or may be the whole world can create a system that prevent the crime of genocide to happen again any time any where else!
No MONEY for the wrong reason please! our country is corrupted to the core! They are selling justice for money and thing that for peace and forgiveness!
My relative lives can not be replaced by any money! But the thruths that help prevent the evil to strike again any where on earth!!
