BANGKOK: Two Cambodian casino moguls helped fund the US$5.92mil (RM22.5mil) compensation payment made by the Cambodian government to Thailand for damage to its embassy in Phnom Penh in January riots, a report said yesterday.
Gambling kingpins Kok Ahn and Pad Supapa contributed to Monday's payment to hasten the diplomatic normalisation process and revive their business fortunes, the Bangkok Post reported, citing a Thai military intelligence source.
