Thailand's ousted prime minister, Thaksin Shinawatra, plans to build a "modern city" in neighbouring Cambodia.
Mr Thaksin outlined his plans for Koh Kong province near the Thai border during a meeting with Cambodia's prime minister, Hun Sen.
A spokesman for the prime minister says Mr Thaksin did not say how much money would be invested but said the planned city would include a financial centre, hospital, schools and housing.
The spokesman says Hun Sen welcomed the plan, asking Mr Thaksin to work on his project with the Council for the Development of Cambodia.
