Phnom Penh - Thailand's fugitive former premier Thaksin Shinawatra this month is to make his third visit to Cambodia since being named a government adviser as ties between the two nations worsen, local media reported Thursday.
Cambodian Foreign Minister Hor Namhong said Thaksin's visit, which comes at a time when Thaksin's supporters in Thailand have vowed to escalate anti-government protests there, was 'not strange.'
'Thaksin coming or going out of Cambodia is a normal thing,' Hor Namhong said, according to the Phnom Penh Post newspaper.
Thailand's Supreme Court is to decide February 26 whether the state would seize 2 billion dollars in frozen bank accounts in Thaksin's and his family's names, a pending decision that has heightened political tensions as Thaksin's supporters were expected to escalate their efforts to topple the Thai government before their leader risks losing his fortune.
