Puea Thai Party chairman Chavalit Yongchaiyudh said he was not told about ousted premier Thaksin Shinawatra's plan to visit Cambodia on Nov 12.

Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen said on Sunday that Thaksin would brief more than than 300 economic and finance offiials at the Ministry of Economy and Finance in Phnom Penh this Thursday.

Hun Sen last week appointed Thaksin economic adviser to the Cambodian government.

Gen Chavalit said he would be on the far South again on Wednesday and Thursday, where he would continue with the idea of proposing a special Pattani City administrative area, since he coud see no other solution to ending southern unrest.

He said he was not discouraged by the strong opposition to the idea from many groups.
