The new year has not brought good fortune for Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva, despite his success on some domestic issues in 2010.
Cambodia has remained a thorn in his side, thanks to the arrest of Democrat MP Panich Vikitsreth and six companions by Cambodian authorities just before the end of 2010.
Mr Abhisit's leadership suffered when his initial tough talk failed to secure their early release. His Cambodian counterpart Hun Sen said he could not intervene because the case had reached the courts of justice.
The case of the seven Thais has dented the image of Mr Abhisit, who has survived two major street protests by the red-shirted United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship since he assumed the premiership in December 2008.
While his political opponents have been kept at bay, the prime minister has been unable to mend ties with Hun Sen. The ruling Democrat Party's policy on Cambodia has caused more tension than friendship across the border.
Despite the resignation of ex-premier Thaksin Shinawatra as Hun Sen's economic adviser, Thailand and Cambodia have been unable to resolve their differences on the Preah Vihear temple issue and territorial disputes.
With the seven Thais now in Phnom Penh jail, Prime Minister Abhisit's position has been weakened. It remains to be seen whether this will affect the government's stability.

Since Hun Sen was a Khmer Rouge commander, now a Khmer Rouge leader and had many of his political opponents and journalists assassinated, I wonder if he have any plan to assassinate the Thai Prime Minister (Ahbullshit Vejjajiva)?
ទាហានថៃបាញ់ជនជាតិខ្មែរដូចឆ្កែដូចឆ្មាគ្មានអ្នកណាថា នេះខ្មែរគ្រាន់តែចាប់រស់និយាយស្ទើតែឆេះកញ្ចក់ទូរទស្សន៍
ผมว่ายิงไอ้ 7 คนทิ้งเลย แล้วพูดว่าป้องกันตัว เพราะทหารไทยยิงชาวกัมพูชานับมาไม่มาถ้วน แล้วมาออกทีวีว่า เพื่อป้องกันตัว
sam rainy's chief welcome hun sen...
look at your cock so small Abisit!, look at your belly too big Sen!. We are the same we fuck each other, you fuck Preah Vihear and I fuck seven extremist Thai.
While Cambodia is losing large chunks of land in her eastern borders with Vietnam...the Thais are jumping on the band wagon to do the same on the western side.
Cambodia has finite boundaries with all her neighbors with internationally recognized maps deposited with the UN...it is simply absurd that Thais think they can get more of Khmer land through new lame "boundary disputes"!
Where were you Siemese 800 years ago??? Isn't it in Nanchao (present-day Yunnan, China)???
