A Thai national charged with spying on a visit by fugitive former Thai Prime Minister, Thaksin Shinawatra is on trial in Cambodia.
Siwarak Chothipong has plead not guilty to the charges of breaching national security and public safety in Cambodia.
The 31 year old was employed at the Thai-owned air traffic services company at Phnom Penh airport when Thaksin Shinawatra travelled to the city a month ago to take up a role as economic advisor.
