Thaksin not going to Cambodia: legal adviser


Former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra will not travel to Cambodia as speculated although his trip to Japan is confirmed, his legal adviser Noppadon Pattama said on Thursday.

"Thaksin is scheduled to visit Japan from Monday to Friday," he said.

Noppadon said the Democrat Party should verify the facts related to Thaksin's visa before initiating an impeachment proceedings against Foreign Minister Surapong Towichakchaikul.

"Don't try to implicate Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra," he said in reference to the allegation that Surapong had Yingluck's backing to request a special entry for her brother Thaksin.

He said the main opposition party should focus on monitoring the government performance instead of being obsessed with Thaksin's movement.
