"Protesters of the People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) will not be allowed inside the disputed 4.6 square-kilometre area around the Preah Vihear temple since this could affect relations with Cambodia, Lt-Gen Wibulsak Neepan said on Thursday.
The Second Army commander was responding to the PAD's announced plan to converge on Phra Viharn National Park in Si Sa Ket's Kantharalak district and demand that Cambodian troops and villagers be pushed out of the disputed area around Cambodia's Preah Vihear temple.
Veera Somkwamkid, chairman of the Civil Rights and Liberty Group, which is affiliated to the PAD, has said protesters from various provinces would gather in Kantharalak district before moving to the border area on Saturday. . .
Soldiers have put up barbed wire to prevent PAD protesters entering Phra Viharn National Park, and set up more checkpoints along the road to the park, according to a local reporter in Si Sa Ket province. Entry to Preah Vihear is through Phra Viharn park."
