The People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) should begin 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 help to each other, he believed it would be much easier to settle the ongoing disputes with Cambodia.

The PAD plans 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 jail respectively by the Phnom Penh Municipal Court for illegal entry and espionage.

They wrote to the WHC and asked them not to allow Thailand to host a meeting because people in Thailand (themselves) object ?

How much longer do we all have to put up with absurdity? I keep pwondering if I am living in a madhouse.

Again, the PM is reaching out his hand. What face have PAD leaders lost in accepting dialogue ?
