Thailand may close Thai-Cambodian border: Deputy PM

BANGKOK, Nov 6 (TNA) – Thailand may consider closing the Thai-Cambodian border if Cambodia still adopts a hardline approach to the bilateral ties, said Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban.
Thailand had been tolerant but had to apply diplomatic channel to downgrade relations after Cambodian issued an official statement appointing ousted and convicted Thai prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra as an advisor. How long it is going to be depends on the next stance of the Cambodian side, he said.
Mr Suthep said that the situation at border is still normal and doesn’t intensify to the certain level that needs reinforcement.
