Bangkok Post
Former first secretary to the Thai embassy in Cambodia Kamrob Palawatwichai has spoken for the first time to THANIDA TANSUBHAPOL and a small group of reporters about the espionage charge that landed Thai engineer Sivarak Chutipong in a Cambodian jail following a visit by ousted prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra to Phnom Penh on Nov 10.
On that day, Mr Kamrob called Mr Sivarak who worked at Cambodia Air Traffic Services to ask about Thaksin's flight details.
Mr Kamrob was later expelled by Cambodian authorities.
Can you recall what happened when Thaksin arrived in Cambodia?
As I was servicing Thai people to make passports at the Thai embassy about 10am, I heard about Thaksin's arrival in Cambodia.
As I'm responsible for the embassy's political beat, I had to report what happened about political movements in and out of Cambodia to Bangkok, I had to cross-check whether he [Thaksin] really had arrived so I phoned relevant agencies, including Mr Sivarak's, to confirm Thaksin's arrival.
