BANGKOK, Nov 17 (The Straits Times) — The house with the high walls in an upscale enclave in the Cambodian capital Phnom Penh is less than 100m from the Thai embassy.
The man in the house is a fugitive from his native country, evading a two-year sentence for graft and thwarting attempts to extradite him to Thailand.
Thaksin Shinawatra looked a little tired and drawn. He had flown in the previous morning and had already had meetings with family and friends, including dinner and lunch with his hosts, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen and his wife Bun Rany. He was getting ready for a TV interview.
