The People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) should resort to holding talks with the government to promote understanding instead of only mounting attacks, Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said on Friday.
Mr Abhisit said if the government and the PAD could exchange opinions and giving help to each other, he believed it would be much easier for the ongoing disputes with Cambodia to be solved.
The PAD has planned to hold a major rally on Saturday to mount pressure on the government to do whatever it can to secure the release of Veera Somkwamkid, a Thai Patriots Network coordinator, and his secretary Ratree Pipatanapaiboon, who were sentenced to eight and six years imprisonment by the Phnom Penh Municipal Court for illegal entry and espionage.
The prime minister said while the PAD was putting pressure on the government, Cambodia sent a letter to the World Heritage Committee asking it not to let Thailand host a World Heritage Committee meeting, reasoning that a group of Thai people had called for the government to withdraw from the World Heritage Committee.
"If we can join forces, it would be easier to for us to deal with Cambodia. Cambodia has taken the opportunity of our internal discord to tell the World Heritage Committee that Thailand should not be allowed to host next year's meeting of the committee, reasoning that the Thai people want the government to withdraw from it.
"An abrupt withdrawal from the committee is not good for our attempts to protect our interests," Mr Abhisit said.
The prime minister insisted it is necessary for the government to continue its presence in the World Heritage Committee. Thailand should not admit defeat or make an abrupt withdrawal from the committee, he added.
Mr Abhisit said the government's attempt to reach an understanding with the PAD was going in a favourable direction but declined not to go in details.
On the PAD's planned rally on Saturday, the prime minister said everyone should bear in minds that if the situation developed in an unfavourable way it would do anything good to the country.
He reaffirmed that the PAD protesters would not be allow to intrude into the Government House compound, adding that police would continue to talk the PAD leaders to return part of the Ratchadamnoen Nok avenue for traffic.

This kind of attitude of Thais is nothing new. Thais are the racist people on this planet, especially toward Khmers.
I hated Siamese and Youn but the same time I hated ah Kwack too because he's slaved to ah Youn. Actually I don't wanted Cambodian to go to wars with Siamses. If we gonna make a wars I preffer we make a wars with ah Youn Vietcong. They're the mortals enemies of Khmer for century. Siamese, Loas and Cambodian we should'nt fight each other causes we have everythings is similared likes brother and sister why we fight each others not like ah Youn they're different from us why can we joint three country to fight with ah Youn Vietcong is better.
Great ideas 4:36PM.
Thai is smarter than
any countries in Southeast Asia,she
never has been under
other superpower since 1238AD.
Before thirteen AD,
she was under Khmer
empire for 900 years.
Khmer should not keep their eyes too
much because Thai
is just irritating
Cambodia.
Now Thai pays attention to South
and Northeast,these
two groups will rise up against Thai govt any days
if Thai has war with
Cambodia.
The Northeast Thai
is strong whole for
Red Shirts who are
supporting by Vietnam and China or
Hun Sen.
South Muslim Thai
want to be independent from
Thai.
Vietnam took over
Lao since 1975,almost at the
same time but China
and Pol Pot won the
civil war.
After Pol Pot defeated in 1979,
Vietnam took full
control in Cambodia.
Vietnam is just pretending behind
Hun Sen.
Don't be stupid
Khmer people.
You were under full Vietnam control since 1979.
Rise up against
Hun Sen and Yuon,
time is in your side
because people want to change dictatorship era and
communist regime.
Two to three million
must be on the streets anywhere in
Cambodia.
If you dare to die,
you will be survived
from Hun Sen and
Vietnam.
Vietnam will kill you little by little
like in Champa,Khmer Krom.
Vietnam hates Khmer
so much.
