Online news:

Chaiwat Sinsuwong, a core leader of Thailand Patriot Network, claimed on Monday that he had received information that Defence Minister Prawit Wongsuwon was behind the arrest of the seven Thais by Cambodian troops on Dec 29.

He said Gen Prawit had contacted a Cambodian commander of a border army division, asking they arrest the Thais, who include a yellow-shirt network co-leader Veera Somkwamkid and a Democrat MP.

Mr Chaiwat said he had instructed yellow-shirts in the provinces planning to join rally against Cambodia at Government House to instead head directly to Sa Kaeo province.

Now they are blaming Thai military alleging that they are in collusion with Cambodians. What else ? They've been trying UN channel with no luck. I'll bet the next step would be down on their knees and beg Hun Sen. What a bunch of spoiled kids !

In all honesty, the PAD have been like this since day one. They've always acted like this. But Abhisit lets them run loose without check, as he needs votes.

What a weird clandestine mission for Panich and his team? Wonder what he was thinking while strolling on Cambodia soil like that?

He might think it was a trivial issue just crossing border for a while and for just one kilometer.Anyway, this was not a forgetable deed for Khmer soilder so he has to deserve this hard time.

So now, according to the PAD/TPN anyway, we have the Cambodians taking orders from a Thai general to arrest 7 Thais while they were in Thai territory.

Can there claims get any more absurd?

Probably.
