PHNOM PENH — Thailand's fugitive former premier Thaksin Shinawatra landed in Cambodia Sunday, setting the stage for another diplomatic fracas between the neighbouring countries.
Thaksin, who was ousted in a coup in 2006, was escorted from a small private jet at Phnom Penh International Airport into the capital by a convoy of cars under tight security, an AFP reporter said.
Thaksin's visit to Cambodia last month to take up a government economic advisory role caused a diplomatic row when Cambodian premier Hun Sen refused to extradite the tycoon to Thailand to serve a two-year jail term for corruption.
