Fugitive ex-Thai premier Thaksin Shinawatra will not be permitted to engage in politics during his stay as it would be contrary to Cambodia's constitution

Government spokesman Phay Siphan said Thaksin is in Phnom Penh for economic reasons.

"He is here for economic reasons, not for any activities related to politics," he said. "You must understand that Cambodia does not allow (foreign nationals) to do politics within Cambodia at all."

Phay Siphan said Thaksin would stay at least two or three days. He was scheduled to deliver an address to Cambodian economists Thursday.

Thaksin on Tuesday arrived in Phnom Penh, the first visit to the country after being appointed as economic advisor to Cambodian government and prime minister. He is scheduled to give a lecture on economy on Thursday.

LIAR ah prokach Phay Siphan.
How about Youn who do politics in Cambodia?

Some secret sources inside Thailand say PAD's leaders and some among PAD's memebers taking bribes from Hanoi to cause endlessly troubles between Thai-Cambodian while Hanoi quietly encroaching into Cambodia and now is quietly infiltrating Thailand.

Thai and Cambodians are brothers and sisters but why do they hate each others so much? This fight needs to stop, if not it will push Hanoi's expansionism even farther through Thailand. You both are loosers. Hun Sen is Hanoi's mouthpiece.
