The Thai embassy in Phnom Penh has sought permission from the Prey Sar prison to send a doctor to visit Veera Somkwamkid in jail or take him outside for treatment but has yet received a reply, Foreign Ministry spokesman Thani Thongphakdi said on Monday.
Mr Thani said this in responding to a report that Mr Veera was seriously ill and that his relatives had decided not to appeal against a jail sentence handed down on him by a Cambodian court but to seek a royal pardon instead.
Even though the Thai embassy was not allowed to visit Mr Veera, its officials delivered food to him in prison twice a day. The doctors at the Prey Sar prison told the officials only that Veera was having a minor cold.
On learning from a news report that his relatives visited Mr Veera at the prison on Mar 4 and found he was seriously ill, the embassy had sought permission from the prison to send a doctor to see him in jail or take him out for treatment.
However, the prison had not yet replied to the request, Mr Thani said.
Mr Veera and his secretary Ratree Pipatanapaiboon and five other Thais, including Democrat Party MP Panich Vikitsreth, were arrested by Cambodian soldiers on Dec 29, initially for illegal entry. Mr Veera and Ms Ratree were later additionally charged with espionage.
The Phnom Penh Municipal Court sentenced the five to nine months for illegal entry. The five Thais, including Mr Panich, were freed after their remaining jail time of eight months was suspended.
Mr Veera and Ms Ratree were later sentenced to eight and six years imprisonment for espionage.
Concerning their wish to seek a royal pardon, Mr Thani said the two had to consult their lawyers to set the time for submitting a request. After that the embassy would facilitate the sumission of it, he added.
On a Joint Boundery Commission (JBC) meeting, Mr Thani said Cambodia had informed Thailand that it would wait until the Thai parliament approved the agreements made under three previous JBC meetings first before setting the date for the next JBC meeting.

I am Mike I truely care about econmy stability and pesued the happiness of my belove Khmer. Rgards,
Actually, if he is really ill the prison director should allow him to be treated properly. Thai Embassy want to bring doctor from Bangkok to check his health, it might not be a good reason that the prison guard allow the doctor from Bangkok to check his health because the doctor might produce a wrong health status in order to get him out.
