SecurityTightened@CambodianEmbassy

Coming home from Rama IX cafe tonight I passed the Cambodian embassy. It looked like a fortress. Totally surrounded by police.

I do not like to say it. But in this case I also agree with Samak. Abhisit has gone into extremely dangerous waters with this subject. He is risking Thai-Cambo relationships. ....... and a whooping ass-kick of the Thai Royal Army courtesy of the Royal Cambodian Army ;)

Police create security perimeter around Cambodian Embassy

This morning 10 officers from the Metropolitan Police 4 were dispatched to the Embassy of Cambodia located on Pracha-uthit Road (ประชาอุทิศ). The officers have been tasked with securing the area and monitoring safety after yesterday's debate saw the Minister of Foreign Affairs Noppadol Pattama speaking in favor of Cambodia's claim to the Phrae Vihear National Park. Authorities fear that the debate may have spurred some hostile sentiments, but latest reports have shown no activity at the embassy.

Authorities state that they will continue their safeguarding of the embassy until the debate is concluded.
