BANGKOK - Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva yesterday said he had sent Democrat MP Panich Vikritseth to inspect the disputed border between Thailand and Cambodia last week, before the lawmaker and six other Thais were arrested by the Cambodian authorities.
He explained during his weekly Cabinet meeting that, although he knew Mr Panich would go to a border area, he did not know where exactly, said a government spokesman.
The seven Thais have been charged with trespassing into Cambodian territory and intruding into a military zone on Dec 29.
Thailand said it will now wait for a Cambodian court to give its verdict before holding talks with its neighbour to bring the group home.
Some 150 Thai activists rallied yesterday against Cambodia in Aranyaprathet, near the Thai-Cambodia border. Waving the national flag and banners, they demanded the group's release.
Thailand had initially planned a defence that the seven had strayed unintentionally into Cambodia but a video has surfaced that adds controversy to the case by showing Mr Panich telling someone on the phone to tell an aide of the Prime Minister that he was on Cambodian territory

Thai&Viet Political Gambling
Youn very happy when thailand have problem with Cambodia.They have more chance to control and more chance to open the gate wider (more frontier gate was open)to let their peoples and goods run freely into Cambodia.
In Thailand ,election will be coming soon .To earn the , popularity,The 7 thai fake petroit have to intrude in Cambodia,They knew that ,Khmer army never kill them like they did to our poor inocent cambodian people.May be they can spend a few night in Cambodian jail with good food and well look after.What is a wasted money to look after them.
I would ask every khmer in the world to make noice when when our poor inocent was kill by the neigbour or other place.Stop value khmer life was so cheap as in the past from now on.Stop them to use khmer life for their game.
In the past our encestor use to be strong and famous for defending our territory.We must learn to follow them.

I want see how far the Siem leaders want to twist and turn their dirty politic to make Cambodia look bad! First the Siem leaders send their military thugs to occupy Cambodian territories. Second the Siem leaders send their civilian warmongers to violate Cambodian sovereignty.
Two wrongs don't make a right! It is the nature of the Siem leaders to be a liar, a cheater, and a thief!
Once again it is the political game of Thai leaders to gather popularity on the expense of Cambodia.
It is now the matter of Cambodian leaders to whether consider it as a political game or a national interest.
Can we Cambodian see how Thais love and value their own people?
Let's unite and love our country and our fellow countrymen. Don't let foreigners look down on us any more.
An eye for an eye, Thai must treat Cambodia the way it want Cambodia to treat it.
