Bangkok - Thai police on Saturday blocked thousands of protestors from an area on the Cambodian border where a dispute over an 11th-century Hindu temple has strained bilateral ties and almost sparked a war last year.
An estimated 500 buses carrying about 4,000 members of the People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) were blocked at Phumisarol town by 1,000 police and kept from entering Phra Viharn National Park in Sisaket province, about 450 kilometres north-east of Bangkok, the Bangkok Post online news service reported.
The PAD led anti-government protests last year that culminated in the seizure of Bangkok's two airports and the toppling of the previous administration, led by the People Power Party (PPP).
