BANGKOK (The Nation/Asia News Network): A surprising appearance by former Thai prime ministers Thaksin Shinawatra and his sister Yingluck in Cambodia on Aug 5 has sparked much chatter. The two were in Phnom Penh to celebrate the 72nd birthday of Hun Sen, with a government spokesperson claiming it was purely a personal gathering.

They showed Thaksin and Yingluck mingling with Hun Sen’s extended family, including Prime Minister-in-waiting Hun Manet, at his residence in Kandal province’s Takhmao town, just outside the capital.
