The Foreign Affairs and Defence ministries have been told to cooperate fully with Phnom Penh authorities to seek an early end to the case of the seven Thais charged with illegal entry into Cambodia.
Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said yesterday Thailand would not interfere with Phnom Penh's handling of the issue but said "we can talk" to find a joint solution that appealed to both sides.
The Phnom Penh Municipal Court has set Feb 1 to rule on the fate of the Thais after the Appeal Court decided on Tuesday to grant bail to four of the Thais held in Prey Sar prison.
That means all of the seven arrested except Veera Somkwamkid, an activist on the Thai-Cambodian border issue, have been released on bail. They have been told by the court not to leave Cambodia until a final verdict is rendered.
The seven were accused of trespassing on Cambodian territory when they were arrested on Dec 29.
Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban said yesterday he was "a bit disappointed" by the Cambodian court's decision to set Feb 1 to hand down its ruling. He said this was too long.
Mr Suthep said he did not intend to criticise the court but he hoped Cambodia would reconsider the date to conclude the legal process sooner.
The Appeal Court decided on Tuesday to deny bail to Mr Veera, who faces an additional charge of espionage, because it was afraid he would cause problems in Cambodia if released.
Chavanond Intarakomalyasut, secretary to the Thai foreign minister, said a Cambodian lawyer asked the Supreme Court yesterday to grant Mr Veera bail.

Hi Mike, in Cambodia not many people use internet because they are low educated and poor. and most people who use internet are educated people. Most people who use internet and KI blog are supporters of Sam Rainsy or they like Sam Rainsy. But most people voted for Hoon Xen, then most people who voted for Hoon Xen are stupid, low education. So most of CPP supporters and members including you are idiot, fool and stupid like their boss, Hoon. So if Sam Rainsy leads the country it must be better than Hoon. Mike, you can see now that only CPP members are robbers, killers, human and drug traffickers. So who should be arrested? = the boss of these robbers, human and drug traffickers.....
Mike wanted KI Medea to post his very poor English message in KI Medea website . He is such an idiot. He can be stupid as much as he wants to be but don't ask other people to join him because they are smarter than him.
Those 7 Thai were lucky because we didn't shoot at you like Thai soldiers did to Khmer people when they crossed the border. You better be thankful to Cambodian soldiers for taking you to Court instead of killing you . So ,sit back , relax and let the Court do its job.
