The yellow-shirt supporters of the Thailand Patriot Network will not be allowed to rally against Cambodia near the border, Maj Gen Walit Rojanapakdee, commander of the Burapa Force, said on Monday.

Maj Gen Walit said he had coordinated with governor of Sa Kaeo province to hold talks with the network’s core leaders to ask them to rally only in Sa Kaeo’s Khoke Soong district. He did not want any rally near the Thai-Cambodian border area as it could create problems for local residents.

Chaiwat Sinsuwong, a core leader of the network, said at a press conference on Sunday that the yellow-shirts would rally agsinst Cambodia in the eastern border province of Sa Kaeo to morrow, to call for a the release of the seven detained Thais, who include a yellow shirt leader and a Democrat MP.

Khun somtam #2, Takky & Aphisit follow exactly the same foreign policy regarding controversial border issue with Cambodia. So, I don't think you can singlehandedly blame Takky for what Aphisit is apparently doing, not only on the border issue, but for nearly everything else. The two are like evil twins to me. What I'm more interested is what benefit each receives for appeasing Cambodia.

Well, at least we get to see what Somtam looks like. With that comment (2) I am sure he will be front row and center for any pictures published tomorrow.

Mr. Somtam.....please study the history of this piece of land... this has nothing to do with Taksin although he has done many things very wrong to our country.
This is not about Red, yellow, taksin or whatever....
Please study the history...
