For Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva, relief after the anti-graft body's decision over the Preah Vihear case yesterday - he does not need to dump a number of his cabinet members.
But he is still left with the uphill task of mending sour relations with Cambodia.
Deputy Prime Minister Sanan Kajornprasart, Deputy Finance Minister Pradit Phataraprasit and Information and Technology Minister Ranongruk Suwunchwee, who joined Samak Sundaravej's cabinet last year, escaped the National Anti-Corruption Commission's verdict.
The commission found legal grounds to file a lawsuit against only Samak and his foreign minister Noppadon Pattama for their support for Cambodia's proposal to list the Hindu temple of Preah Vihear as a World Heritage site.
