The fugitive former prime minister of Thailand, Thaksin Shinawatra, has returned to Cambodia a month after a visit that sparked a diplomatic row between Phnom Penh and Bangkok.
Thaksin is on a three-day visit to Cambodia, where has been appointed economic adviser to the national Government.
The billionaire former prime minister was ousted by the military in 2006 and later sentenced to jail in absentia on conflict of interest charges.During his visit to Cambodia last month, Phnom Penh refused Bangkok's extradition request.
