Fugitive politician Thaksin Shinawatra made his third visit to Cambodia on Wednesday since being appointed economic adviser and was scheduled to leave the country on Thursday, Cambodian government spokesman Prak Sokhon said.
"He is free to come and go," he replied when asked about the purpuse of Thaksin's visit. "He doesn't need to have a motive to come here."He said he did not know if Thaksin would meet with members of the Puea Thai Party, as he had on previous visits.
Khieu Kanharith, Cambodia's minister of information, said Thaksin came to give economic advice to the government, and he and Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen had dinner together on Wednesday night.He also said Thaksin would not hold a press conference during this visit.Meanwhile, the director of Suvarnabhumi airport on Thursday called on Thaksin's supporters to rethink any plans for a protest rally there, saying it would cause severe damage to the country's image and the tourism sector.
Nirun Tiranartsin made the plea on learning that the red-shirts may rally at the entrance of Suvarnabhumi airport to press for speedier legal proceedings against People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) leaders who led the blockade of Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang airports in late 2008.
