The Election Commission is to review Panich Vikitsreth's parliamentary status after he was handed a suspended jail term by a Cambodian court.

Sodsri Sattayatham, the EC member in charge of political party affairs, said the commission expects to consider Mr Panich's status on Tuesday.

Mr Panich, a Democrat MP for Bangkok, is one of five Thais found guilty of trespassing on Cambodian territory and illegal entry into a military area.

They were each given an eight-month suspended jail term and fined 1 million riel (7,520 baht).

All five returned to Thailand yesterday after spending almost a month in Prey Sar prison in Phnom Penh.
