Samart president Watchai Vilailuck is seeking the government's help now that Cambodia has decided to take temporary control of his firm's subsidiary, Cambodia Air Traffic Services (CATS).
In a phone interview, he said the company was gathering facts on the move and has been coordinating with influential figures in the Thai government. It is also asking the Cambodian government for help.
Though CATS is still in operation, none of its nine or 10 Thai employees is allowed on the premises.
"The company's office was set ablaze once in 2003. We don't know what will happen this time. Cambodia has said this is temporary, but they have not set a specific period. We need to continue negotiating and the Thai government must help restore the confidence of Thai businessmen overseas. I don't know how we can be political victims, when we have insisted all along that we have nothing to do with politics," he said.
