Thailand's bilateral ties with Cambodia appear to have returned to normal as it decided to reinstate its ambassador now that former PM Thaksin Shinawatra has resigned as economic adviser to Phnom Penh.
However, Thaksin's reasons were not altruistic - he said he could not do his duties properly because he had a lot of business to attend to overseas.
"From today [Monday], former Thai prime minister is no longer an economic adviser to the government of Cambodia and to Prime Minister Hun Sen," Cambodian Foreign Ministry's spokesman Koy Kuong said in a phone interview from Phnom Penh. "He finds it difficult to fulfil his duty as an adviser to Cambodia."
Appointed by King Norodom Sihamoni last October, Thaksin's post was at the core of the conflict between the two countries, which were already having disputes over the controversial Preah Vihear Temple.
