Thaksin Shinawatra’s recent arrival in Cambodia held all the pomp and flair of an official state visit, with much of the Kingdom noticeably enthralled by the fugitive former prime minister.
He was mobbed by the press, praised by Cambodian premier Hun Sen and swarmed by hundreds of Red Shirts who crossed the border to catch a glimpse of their de facto leader.
Indeed, Thaksin himself described Cambodia as “like my home”, the Post reported, returning the gushing adoration he’d received since his private jet touched down.Contact Tom at tom.brennan@phnompenhpost.com.

Anyone has any detail of the discussion beside the topic of discussion? For example, what was Thaksin economic strategy for Cambodia tackling with the world recession.

Thaksin's economic seminar is just a simple talk. I don't think he had advised Cambodia on how to solve it's economic woes should the world financial crisis hit Cambodia. After all, Thaksin is not a magic wand, otherwise he would have made Thailand the richest country in the world already.
Cambodia need to export different thing like> sea foods, fresh water fishes, casava root, rubber, beside rice...cuz cambodia has very richest soil...
