An opposition MP yesterday accused the government of planning military force against Cambodia if Prime Minister Hun Sen and Thaksin Shinawatra took any action deemed to violate Thai sovereignty.
This would include establishment of a government in exile for Thaksin on Cambodian soil.
Pheu Thai MP Jatuporn Prompan said the military option was suggested in a confidential paper Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya sent to Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva on November 16 as a guideline for handling the conflict with Cambodia in a worstcase scenario.
"Preparation of a military option is equivalent to preparing for war against Cambodia," Jatuporn said.
"The end game is the normalisation of relations rather than regime change," Jatuporn quoted Kasit as saying in the leaked paper.
