The Cambodian government's refusal to acknowledge a Thai protest played a part in Bangkok's decision to recall its ambassador and downgrade relations with Phnom Penh.
The Foreign Ministry summoned Cambodian ambassador You Aye to the ministry to accept a formal letter of protest the day after Thaksin Shinawatra's appointment as an adviser to Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen was announced last Wednesday.
But the envoy neither appeared in person nor sent a representative to receive the protest.
The ambassador's action was seen as unacceptable as it demonstrated Phnom Penh's lack of concern over the matter.
