Applications for the release on bail of the seven Thais arrested in Cambodia are likely to be filed in the Phnom Penh Court on Monday, foreign minister's secretary Chavanond Intarakomalyasut said on Thursday.

Mr Chavanond said the court was expected to complete the questioning of the seven detained Thais today, because there will be a long holiday in Cambodia from tomorrow.

Defence lawyers were still awaiting details of charges levied against each of them, he said.


"The bail requests cannot be filed today since the court has not yet given its decision. It is expected this will be on Monday," he said. Bail applications would be filed immediately.

As of 5pm it was reported that the court had finished questioning five of the seven Thais.

Yellow-shirt Veera Somkwankid, a leading member of the Thai Patriots Network, was the last to be examined by the judge.
