Thailand's Foreign Ministry confirmed it has not been informed about the reported recall of Myanmar's ambassador, Zaw Zaw Soe, stating it's an internal Myanmar government matter.
The ambassador was reportedly summoned back to Naypyitaw for questioning, according to Myanmar sources and the Irrawaddy news outlet.
Allegations against Zaw Zaw Soe include colluding with Thai-based Myanmar businessmen to transport workers and issuing passports to individuals opposed to the military regime.
The recall occurred just five days after the ambassador met with Thailand’s labour minister to discuss Myanmar migrant worker data and official remittance channels.

Hun Manet's swift appointment as Cambodia's new leader is a calculated move to refresh the nation's image and marks a historic peaceful transition after 500 years.
Free from his father's 'legacy trap,' Hun Manet has a unique opportunity to enact transformational leadership, potentially altering Western perceptions of Cambodia.
His immediate priorities include improving living standards, attracting diversified foreign investment, negotiating trade agreements, and implementing deep institutional reforms.
Leveraging his Western education, Hun Manet is expected to maintain Cambodia's active international engagement and work towards a more free and open society.
