Supporters of nationalistic "yellow-shirts" planned to stage a rally near the Thai-Cambodian border to demand the release of seven Thais being detained for illegal entry into the neighboring country.
Chaiwat Sinsuwong, core leader of Thailand Patriot Network, told reporters on Sunday that members of his group and other yellow-shirt supporters planned to rally in the eastern province of Sa Kaeo on Tuesday to demand the release of the seven Thais.
Panich Vikitsreth, a Bangkok MP of Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva's Democrat Party, and other six Thais, were arrested by Cambodian soldiers while visiting disputed border area last Wednesday.
Veera Somkwamkid, another leader of the Thailand Patriot Network, is also among the detainees.
Chaiwat said the seven Thais were on Thai territory while being arrested.
He said some of his group members, who have been rallying in front of the Government House in Bangkok, will travel to Sa Kaeo on Tuesday while others will remain at the protest site in the Thai capital.
Thailand Patriot Network is a group split from the main yellow- shirt bloc, known as People's Alliance for Democracy led by Sondhi Limthongkul, as the network is more aggressive on its demand on the Thai-Cambodian border dispute.
The seven Thais are being detained in a prison in Phnom Penh.
Thai Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya visited Cambodia after their arrest last week, but had failed to secure their release.
Meanwhile, Kasit's secretary Chavanon Intarakomansoot told reporters that the Foreign Ministry is arranging for family members to visit the detainees on Monday.
Chavanon said the Thai government hoped Cambodia would quickly prosecute the Thais so further assistance could be arranged for them.

It is laughable idea to see Thailand want to invade Cambodia!
Does Thailand knows how much does it cost to occupy Cambodia???
Here is the fact! It cost the Vietcong government over 1 million dollars a day with the backing of the Soviet Union! For 10 years the Vietcong endure in Cambodia as if their military occupation done no harm to their economy!
I frankly don't like Hun Sen dictatorial government but Siem should consider themselves lucky to deal with Hun Sen...But I welcome any Siem invasion of Cambodia and this will be the opportunity to drag Thailand in hell like Vietnam!
Cambodian must learn how to kill again!
Good idea.
We Khmer should learn to kill again to protect ourselves and our country
To release the 7 Thai intruder try to continue to make trouble and steal more land...Cannot be replaced of the innocent Cambodian life that were killed by the civilisation thailand.They claimed the land in that area belong to them .Who are Khmer sorin, Khmer sisaket, Boreiy Ram, Obun(about 5 -6 millions. and further than that. Our previous leadership after angkorian, used to allowed them to steal our land, because their weakness toward the neighbour. (Khmer from, large land and peoples)About 10millions

They can do anything they want as long as they do not enter Cambodia . If they enter Cambodia , the soldiers will welcome them with bullets .
