Thai gov't tightens security for Cambodian embassy amid bilateral tension

BANGKOK, Nov. 6 (Xinhua) -- Security is tightened in front of the Cambodian embassy to Thailand in Bangkok Friday morning after Thailand recalled its ambassador from Cambodia over the latter's appointment of Thai former premier as government advisor, Thai media reported.
According to Thai News Agency, more security personnel were deployed at the embassy, including 230 policemen from various stations under the Metropolitan Police Bureau and some anti-riot units on rotated shift. Another 150 policemen would be deployed if there is a protest.
The security measures are taken as the bilateral relationship is in tension after Thailand and Cambodia governments on Thursday recalled their own ambassador.
