Some 1,500 people rally in border province of Sa Kaew on Thursday against reports that yellow-clad group from Bangkok will try to seize a border checkpoint.
The group were villagers from Klong Hat, Aranyaprathet, Kok Sung and Ta Phara districts of Sa Kaew.
Speaking via loudspeaker, a representative invited villagers to join their rally, saying that the rally from Bangkok will affect the border businesses and lives of local people.
"We are here to say that we do not welcome the yellow-clad rally from Bangkok. Their presence here will surely affect our living and border businesses. They will try to attempt to seize our border checkpoint. This is not acceptable," he said.
Joining the rally in front of Muang district office were students from schools in the province.
In Bangkok, Chaiwat Sinsuwongse, leader of Thai Patriots Network, said that he will have a meeting at 4pm to consider whether to move people from Bangkok to Sa Kaew. At the press time, they dispersed.
His rally is aimed at putting pressure on the Cambodian government over its trial against seven Thais who were charged with illegal entry.
One of the seven was Veera Somkwamkit, a leader of Thai Patriots Network who is also charged with spying. The Cambodian court on Thursday freed on bail two of the group; on Thursday; Democrat MP Panich Vikitsreth and Naruemon Jitararattana.

It is so sad that majority of Thai people just want peace and stability for their daily life! But the PAD warmongers want to destroy the peace and harmony!
What right do the PAD have over Thai people? Thai people have their right too!

I am very much like you are,I always willing to share the common national interest, I do not like Youn, and Siam, I love Khmer, that why any one who preached and ignited the ideosensory of jealousy, criticism, and hatreat led to divide among Kmher its Hurt me badly. If we go to the past, the main reason that caused Khmer Empire fallent it is divission led to weakness Khmer national strength. YOUn, Siam, are the witch ghost who tooke advantage from our weakness start attack us left and right to swalow our land. please focus on one cultur(rebuild, our strong Khmer) by constructive chaleng, not any, any any form of Criticism. Criticsim is a giant ghost will suck blood from the men who call for it, men who preached it, and will ruin our nation. wasn't it?
