Former premier Thaksin Shinawatra's whereabouts were unclear yesterday, as Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra and a close aide of Thaksin's denied a Cambodian media report that he was in that country.

Quoting a Khmer-language newspaper, the Phnom Penh Post reported yesterday that Thaksin had been in Cambodia since at least Friday. But an adviser to Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen and the Cambodian Foreign Ministry both declined to confirm the report, saying only that Thaksin was free to enter Cambodia whenever he wished.

Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra, Thaksin's sister, denied the report, saying, "No, he didn't go [to Cambodia]."

Thaksin's legal adviser Noppadon Pattama said the former premier was in China and was preparing to travel to Japan, where he is scheduled to give a lecture and visit areas affected by the March 11 tsunami.

Noppadon denied the report that Thaksin had travelled to Cambodia, saying airline records would confirm this.

Earlier, Noppadon said Thaksin had planned to visit Cambodia but had put the trip off, and would possibly visit after his journey to Japan.

Noppadon's comments followed his earlier denial of a report linking Thaksin with a business deal relating to a petroleum concession in the two countries' overlapping claims area in the Gulf of Thailand.

I MISS SO MUCH BECAUSE THAILANDS AND CAMBODIANS ARE NOT VERY CLOSE. WE HAVE VERY SIMILAR CULTURE, RELIGION, AND FOODS. BUT WE BECOME BROTHERS ANS SISTERS WITH THE VIETNAMESES THAT ARE MUCH DIFFERENT FROM US.
