Security in front of the Cambodian embassy in Bangkok was tightened on Tuesday after members of the People's Assembly of Thailand led by Chaiwat Sinsuwong announced they would protest there against Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen's offer of a home for fugitive politician Thaksin Shinawatra to Cambodia.

A company of police were deployed to guard around the embassy and metal barriers placed around the entrance.

Mr Chaiwat said in a radio interview in the morning that he would led a demonstration in front of the embassy and read a statement condemning Mr Hun Sen and Puea Thai Party chairman Chavalit Yongchaiyudh, who met him in Phnom Penh last week.

"The People's Assembly of Thailand condemn the Cambodian prime minister for taking the opportunity during the Asean Summit to tell reporters that Cambodia would not hand over Thaksin if Thailand sought his extradition," he said. "This is an insult to Thailand, the Thai government and the Thai people, and it destroys good relations between the two countries."

He also demanded Mr Hun Sen to apologise to Thailand.

Mr Chaiwat stressed that the protesters would not attempt to surround the embassy.

Keep dreaming that Hun Sen will apologise !!!

What Hun Sen said was tough but it is better than all the deplomatic words from Abhisit or Kasit when they visited Cambodia but doing other things.

I said before, enough is enough - no more patient, no more dreaming but actions.

This is one country that you cannot say your peace...freedom of speech is non-existant, what you say will be held against you if this government don't like...watch out Thai people, its will bites you at the end! What Hun Sen said is what he felt about Thai society, this action called freedom of speech! For those protesting in Cambodia Embassy is nothing more then PAD thugs that seeking opportunity for publication! Just to make sure whose is what...why not call the Red Shirts vs Yellow Clan!
