Protestors are expected to blockade Thailand's government house in Bangkok later Saturday to demonstrate against a border agreement with Cambodia affecting a disputed temple.
South East Asia correspondent Zoe Daniel reports.
The protest is expected despite the continuing state of emergency in Bangkok that bans mass rallies.
The protesters are not anti-government Red Shirts but nationalists aligned with the pro-establishment Yellow Shirt movement.
They're objecting to Cambodia's management of land adjacent to the disputed Preah Vihear temple on the border between the two countries. They argue that a deal with Cambodia breaches Thailand's sovereignty.
The government's management of the protest will be closely watched amid persistent criticism that it uses double standards when enforcing the law depending which side of politics the protesters are on.
The deputy prime minister has warned that they could be arrested.

Cambodia government should submit a management plan as a joint listing of THAILAD instead of the PREAH VIHEA temple. Then let the Thai right wing and Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva work with Cambodian people and other concern neighbor people who lost land to Thai.
PAD THAI is equal to Thai trouble maker.
siem, don't forget that when dealing with international borderline, etc, there are international law govern it, and it has nothing to do with siem's local law!
now is pad group represent the majority of thai people? i doubt it! i think that's why cambodian people is calm right now because we know the majority of thai people know the law. the pad group is uneducated and corrupted and by are backed by ahbullshit gov't. didn't we know that ahbullshit was on of pad group member? remember? so now we know why it is the way it is now! the question is how much longer are they going to last? probably not much longer!
Since Hun Sen was a Khmer Rouge commander, now a Khmer Rouge leader and had many of his political opponents and journalists assassinated, I wonder if he have any plan to assassinate the Thai Prime Minister (Ahbullshit Vejjajiva)?
