The Foreign Ministry will send Cambodian Premier Hun Sen a note detailing former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra's political status here to defuse tensions generated by Hun Sen's comments last week.
"I understand that Prime Minister Hun Sen made such remarks because he was misinformed about Thaksin and the whole situation in Thailand, so we have to give him the facts," Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya said yesterday.
Hun Sen said upon his arrival at the Asean Summit that he would offer Thaksin refuge in Cambodia and appoint him as an adviser. He said Thaksin was a victim of political changes in the wake of the 2006 coup.
"We will tell him what happened in Thailand over the past three years and that his many trials have nothing to do with the coup," Kasit said.
The letter would not be an argument or condemnation of Hun Sen but just a plain description of Thaksin, the political situation and Thailand's justice system, he said.
Many criminal cases arose before the coup and asset concealment actually took place only within Thaksin's family, he said.
Hun Sen's invitation to Thaksin threw more fuel on the fire after the two countries have faced off over the controversial Preah Vihear Temple for over a year.
The government had Deputy PM Suthep Thaugsuban explain the matter to Hun Sen during his two-night stay in Thailand.
The foreign ministry would make the clarification and send it through diplomatic channels to him again within a week to make sure he gets the right picture, Kasit said.
While declining to interpret Hun Sen's move, Kasit said his government would simply regard the incident as the Cambodian premier, who is an old friend of Thaksin, just getting the wrong idea.
Kasit rejected a demand by a group of senators to retaliate against Hun Sen since the two governments have promised to jointly develop their countries and not to bring up internal politics.
"We don't allow a minor thing to jeopardise the entire relationship," he said.

Hun Sen cares more or less about a note from your gov’t. what comes around, goes around. If Thailand wants Hun Sen to pay attention to your gov’t. Thailand must stop claiming Preah Vihear and abide the world court’s decision that was put in place. What a disgrace on Ah Thai thieves.
NO NO NO NO....!!!!!!!!!!! FUCK THAILAND ...YOU STUPID THAIS BETTER PAY ATTENTION ON ME GOING INTO YOUR HOUSE AND FUCKING YOUR WIFE MOTHERFCUKERS..................I WILL CHRIS HANSEN YOUR YOUNG DAUGHTERS TO BITCHES
STUPID FUCKING THAIS
,PISSED OFF FUCKING CAMBODIAN
The reaction of the democrat government of Thailand leads by Abhisit on Hun Sen's remarks shows how unsecure they are and how afraid they are of Thaksin. Instead of venting their anger at the actual country that gives refuge to Thaksin the Abhisit government is jumping on the empty words of Hun Sen because as always they see Cambodia an easy target to pick on. The Thais never take serious any of the agreements they have with Cambodia, always use their parliament for excuse after excuse when they see fit.
Hun Sen's remarks just given the Abhisit government a breathing space and it serves as glue for him to unite those potential opponents. And above all it gives The Nation, and The Bangkok Post the job to do, something to write about since they ran out of new ideas, these media outlets are the Royal and Thais government stooge. There is hardly any credible political analytic article that came out of these two media that we can take it serious with credit, and worse the articles often written by their so-called claimed to be scholars. I think Thailand can offer a more respectful scholar and be better than the current authors of the articles that they are printing at the moment.
This insignificant event has given Abhisit the ammunition that he needs so much to divert the Thais domestic issues outward and hide his incompetent and the illegality way he came to power. Abhisit and his PAD gang know well that the difference between illegality and legality is who's in power.

hey, can't fool a smart man, you know!
AH Kasit Paranoia want to present another side of AH ABSHIT illegal government story? ahahhahha
Whatever! Go ahead present your fact! Present the fact? Even the fucken fact can be manufactured to fit the story!
Now we need a third party to verify this so called "fact" offered by AH KASHIT!
Don't forget that even fact need to be verified!
Abbhishit and the PAD are illegal thugs. They use Preah Vihear to excite Thai nationalistic sentiments. Hun Sen is now playing the right card by using Thaksin their ennemies. For now I think we should continue this game until the Thai moves out of Preah Vihear lands. Hit them where it hurts.
There is nothing for us, Cambodian PM and Cambodian people, inside and outside of the country, misinformed about Thailand people’s behaviors. How can you come out and tell us how to understand you? When we see ANIMALS, we will call it ANIMALS. Ok?
