BANGKOK - Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva yesterday said he had sent Democrat MP Panich Vikritseth to inspect the disputed border between Thailand and Cambodia last week, before the lawmaker and six other Thais were arrested by the Cambodian authorities.

He explained during his weekly Cabinet meeting that, although he knew Mr Panich would go to a border area, he did not know where exactly, said a government spokesman.

The seven Thais have been charged with trespassing into Cambodian territory and intruding into a military zone on Dec 29.
