BANGKOK/PHNOM PENH — Deeply strained relations between Thailand and Cambodia deteriorated further on Tuesday when Thai police mounted coordinated raids on properties connected to Kok An, a tycoon and four-term Cambodian senator with royal honors close to Senate President Hun Sen.
A warrant was issued on Monday for the arrest of Kok An, the so-called “Godfather of Poipet,” a major transnational gambling and scamming town on the border with Thailand.
