THE government has again said it would refuse to extradite fugitive former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra in the event he travelled to Cambodia, as Bangkok announced it would send warrants for Thaksin’s arrest to police in 187 countries.
“I would say that we are too lazy to answer to Thailand because we have said many times already that we would not extradite Thaksin,” Foreign Minister Hor Namhong said Wednesday, after meeting with his visiting Indonesian counterpart Marty Natalegawa.
Having been appointed an economic adviser to the government in October, Thaksin can travel to Cambodia, Hor Namhong said, though he added that he knew of no immediate plans for a visit.
