Former PM Thaksin Shinawatra expresses uncertainty over Cambodia ties, says Jakrapob Penkair.

 

Jakrapob Penkair, a former minister, revealed Thaksin Shinawatra’s hesitation about the current Thai-Cambodian relations on Nation TV.

 

Amid questions over Thaksin’s muted involvement in the bilateral issue and his daughter, PM Paetongtarn Shinawatra’s challenges with a leaked audio involving Cambodian Senate President Hun Sen, doubts have surfaced.

 

Jakrapob recounted a private meeting with Thaksin at his Bangkok residence, Ban Chan Song La. The meeting, hastily arranged on a Saturday afternoon, was prompted by Jakrapob's desire to understand Thaksin’s stance on the diplomatic tension and his personal bond with Hun Sen.

 

Their conversation centred on the strains in Thai-Cambodian relations and the Shinawatra family’s political dynamics. Jakrapob’s insights come at a critical time as the public and political circles closely watch Thaksin’s next steps in this high-stakes game.

 

Thaksin’s relationship with Hun Sen is notably strained, marking a shift in what once seemed an unwavering alliance. As political temperature rises, stakeholders await responses and resolutions that could impact regional diplomacy.

And there was me thinking Thaksin was just a civilian.

Even Thaksin's partner and former confidant in cross border politics is turning against him. 

Thaksin's days are numbered. Dubi is calling the private jet is ready to roll.

Abide by the International Court on boundaries even if need to get surveyed by non aligned country (ies)

open the border, have a tea party together & get on with living & as everybody knows Thailand does very well thankyou, not just  on border trade but trade in general along with tourist traffic, which they need desperately at present.

The old fuddy duddies who insist on making waves on 3 areas that happen to have old Kymer ruins on (& belong to Cambodia anyway) should be drafted to the front line & given an old Lee Enfield to protect the ruins.
