The speedy release today of the Thai engineer convicted in Cambodia last week to seven years in prison on spying charges is not expected to result in a change in the troubled relations between Thailand and its eastern neighbour.
The diplomatic spat that culminated in Sivarak Chutipong's arrest actually has nothing to do with his case. The incident was beaten up simply to stoke the already troubled relations.
Sivarak's tribulations began on Nov 12, not long after former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra was appointed by Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen as his personal and his government's economic adviser.
