About 100 Thais protested in front of Cambodian Embassy in Bangkok on 27th October, 2009. BANGKOK, Nov. 6 (Xinhua) -- Security is tightened in front of the Cambodian embassy to Thailand in Bangkok Friday morning after Thailand recalled its ambassador from Cambodia over the latter's appointment of Thai former premier as government advisor, Thai media reported.
According to Thai News Agency, more security personnel were deployed at the embassy, including 230 policemen from various stations under the Metropolitan Police Bureau and some anti-riot units on rotated shift. Another 150 policemen would be deployed if there is a protest.
The security measures are taken as the bilateral relationship is in tension after Thailand and Cambodia governments on Thursday recalled their own ambassador.
The tension is triggered by Cambodian government's announcement on Wednesday night that it will appoint Thaksin shinawatra, Thailand's former premier who was ousted by a 2006 military coup, as economic advisor.
Thailand's Foreign Ministry on Thursday recalled it's ambassador from Phnom Penh, saying that the appointment is an insult to the Thai judicial system and affected Thai public's sentiment.
Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya later Thursday confirmed the news report that Cambodia had recalled its ambassador from Thailand.
