Bangkok - Once again, a belligerent protest group has seized part of Bangkok, adding to the capital's already notorious traffic and the country's well-deserved reputation for political instability.
The People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD), a loose coalition of conservative, right-wing groups that staged 193 days of protests in Bangkok in 2008, is back on the streets.
They are demanding that the government get tough with neighbouring Cambodia, which the PAD accuses of illegally occupying land adjacent to the 11th century Preah Vihear temple.
