Thailand and Cambodia have been going through a bit of a rough patch lately, with troops facing off at a temple on their border, and this can't help. The Phnom Penh Post reports that Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen claims Thai Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya referred to Hun Sen as a "gangster."
No no no, the Foreign Minister replied. To the contrary, he didn't mean "gangster" at all. Instead he intended to praise Hun Sen as ‘sportsmanlike" and "big-hearted," "generous" and "manly." It was just a mistranslation.
