[Thai] PM insists Cambodia was spying

Evidence will be cited to help Thai border case

The government insists it has solid evidence to present to the international community concerning Cambodia's alleged spying along the border.

It also rejected Phnom Penh's accusation the spy claims are fabricated to justify aggression against Cambodia.

Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva yesterday said Cambodian authorities had tried to contact Thailand to secure the release of the three men.

"It it is fabrication, why did Cambodia try to contact us for help in obtaining their release?" Mr Abhisit said.

Natural Resources and Environment Minister Suwit Khunkitti said a Cambodian consulate official had directly contacted Thai authorities with regard to the detained men.


Mr Abhisit said there were grounds to believe the three men were involved in alleged spying and that a number of documents were also seized from them. After police have finished an investigation, the Foreign Ministry will take up the matter based on their findings. Details of the alleged spying will soon be made public.

"The information is solid enough and will also be presented to the international community," the prime minister said.

He added the information should also be beneficial when Thailand makes its case in international forums over the border dispute with Cambodia.

Three men, a Thai, a Cambodian and a Vietnamese were arrested in Kantharalak district of Si Sa Ket on Tuesday evening carrying maps with military bases marked on them, according to police.The suspects have denied they were spying in the area.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Jessada Katawethin yesterday said no legal action will be taken against the three men without clear evidence.

Police will forward their findings to the prosecution, which will then consider whether to submit the case to the court.

Mr Jessada said if and when the case goes to court, the three men can appoint their own lawyers.

Authorities from the Vietnamese and Cambodian embassies can visit the three men according to international practices.

I think Abhisit knows very lttle about Hun Sen. He thinks he can easily, just to say, haha I got your spy came from three different nationalities, let swop !!!. You wrong Mr Abhisit because Cambodia really hate your twist and turn tactics.I believe Hun Sen is not that silly to fall in the trap of Abhisit.

Dear all

It sound so funny that Abhisit played a game with arrested Cambodia spy. Thailand is now an unlawful tiger, now it dos not bite with Cambodia, but Vietnam.

It also warned all foreign tourists around the world that Thailand is not a good place to visit. They would be allegely spy whenever they go to Thailand even they have passports and visa. Do not hold camera or guiding direction and map during travelling along the border, if not they will become future spy.
