BANGKOK, Jan 4 (MCOT online news) -- Thailand's Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban admitted that Thailand is finding it difficult to help the seven Thai nationals detained by Cambodian soldiers last Wednesday while they were on inspection tour of the border area near Sa Kaeo province adjacent to Cambodia's Banteay Meanchay.
Democrat Party member of parliament Panich Vikitsreth, activist from Thailand Patriot Network Veera Somkwamkid and five others were charged in a Phnom Penh Court with illegal entry and illegally entering a military base, crimes with penalties of up to six months and one year. The Cambodian court has not yet set a date for their trial.
Mr Suthep said the Thai authorities were coordinated in attempting to help the detained Thais but the video clip of Mr Panich admitting that the group was entering Cambodian territory could cause a disadvantage in contesting the case.
He said he would wait until after the long New Year holiday to see if there were any developments and reactions from the authorities in Phnom Penh.
