Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwon on Monday morning departed for Cambodia from Don Mueang military airport to Cambodia for a one-day visit, an informed source said.
He was accompanied by an entourage of about 15 members including army chief Gen Udomdej Sitabutr, Deputy Foreign Minister Don Pramudwinai and defence permanent secretary Gen Sirichai Dithakul.
The source said the trip was made in secret. No reporters were allowed to enter Don Mueang military airport for interviews - not even those from army-run Channel 5.
It was reported the delegation would lunch with Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen. They were expected to talk about several issues including Preah Vihear temple, energy and Thai red-shirts who fled the country to avoid the lese majeste dragnet, amid reports that former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra recently visited Myanmar.
Gen Prawit led a team of Thai top brass to visit Cambodia on Dec 24-25 to meet Hun Sen and Gen Tea Banh, the Cambodian prime minister and defence minister, shortly after Hun Sen's visit to Thailand to attend the 4th Joint Committee Meeting for the Greater Mekong Subregion Cross-Border Transport Agreement on Nov 21-22.
