Thaksin is scheduled to visit Siem Reap Thursday after giving a
special lecture to some 300 Cambodian Finance Ministry officials.

Bangkok protest against Hun Sen

At least 100 members of Rak Chart (Love the Nation) 52 group led by
Kraiwan Kasemsing on Thursday morning demonstrated against the
Cambodian government and prime minister Hun Sen in front of Cambodian
embassy in Bangkok, Wang Thonglang police said.

"Hun Sen has looked down upon Thailand by appointing ousted prime
minister Thaksin Shinawatra as an economic adviser," Mr Kraiwan said.
Cambodia's refusal to extradite Thaksin to Thailand was also an act of
disrespect to all Thai people.

The protesters handed a letter demanding Cambodia stop interfering in
the internal affairs of Thailand to an embassy official and then
peacefully dispersed about 9.30am.

As an aside: Thailand made two requests, yesterday, for Cambodia to
extradite Thaksin and were twice refused, ignoring an existing
extradition treaty between the two countries.

Cheers,

Schweik
