Despite former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra denying that he had accompanied Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen on a visit to disputed border areas this weekend, anxiety is looming in Thailand over its implications for the domestic political situation.
Thaksin said in his Twitter message that he is still in Dubai and would not accompany Hun Sen to visit the disputed areas near Preah Vihear Temple. He blasted Veera Somkwamkid, the leader of the nationalist People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD), who had floated the news earlier.
"Don't you stop lying? I'm in Dubai which is seven hours from Cambodia by flight. How can you imagine I would go there, nonsense," he said.
