There have been mixed reactions to the Thai government's diplomatic retaliation against Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen. The focus of this debate is the appointment of ex-premier Thaksin Shinawatra as an economic adviser to Mr Hun Sen and his government.
Actually, what has rattled the Abhisit government was not Thaksin's appointment, but Hun Sen's remark that the ex-premier's conviction in the Ratchada land case was politically motivated, implying that the Thai judicial system was neither independent nor fair.
This inflammatory statement prompted the Abhisit government to recall the Thai ambassador to Phnom Penh.
