Kamrob Palawatwichai, first secretary to the Thai embassy in Phnom Penh, will today answer allegations that he made a phone call to Sivarak Chutipong to ask him for the flight details of ousted premier Thaksin Shinawatra last month, government spokesman Panithan Wattanayakorn said on Tuesday.

Mr Kamrob will clarify the matter publicly, as demanded by Mr Sivarak, Mr Panithan said.

Mr Sivarak, who was convicted in Cambodia on spying charge but later pardned and released, demanded Mr Kamrob to speak out and restore his damaged reputation by confirming he was not involved in a government attempt to get Thaksin's flight details.

Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban said Mr Sivarak and his mother Simarak na Nakhon Phanom have the right to sue the Foreign Ministry if they want to.

Mr Suthep also said that he believes the Thai-Cambodian diplomatic row would end if Thaksin ceases to serve as Cambodia's economic adviser.
