The seven Thais arrested in Cambodia for illegal entry on Dec 29 knew that they had entered Cambodian territory, Sa Kaeo governor Sanit Naksooksri said on Tuesday.
Mr Sanit said the government could not make the excuse that the seven Thais led by Democrat Party MP Panich Vikitsreth and yellow-shirt activist Veera Somkwamkid had lost their way and entered Cambodia accidentally.
"Negotiations for their release will likely be more difficult because a yellow-shirt activist is also in the group," he said.
The governor said a group of People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) supporters had arrived on Sa Kaeo to stage a protest against the arrests last night. However, security personnel will not allow them to rally near the border area for safety reasons.
