PHNOM PENH - OUSTED Thai prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra is planning to build a 'modern city' in neighbouring Cambodia, replete with a financial district and port.
The businessman, who owns English football club Manchester City, told Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Sen of his plans for Koh Kong province, near the Thai border, during a meeting last Friday in the capital Phnom Penh.
'He did not say how much money will be invested, he just told Prime Minister Hun Sen about his plan,' said Mr Hun Sen's spokesman Eang Sophalleth.
Mr Thaksin, joined by other Thai investors, told Mr Hun Sen that the planned city would include a financial centre, hospital, schools and housing.
