Security forces in Thailand are facing off against two separate protest groups - one at the Cambodian border, the other in the capital Bangkok.
There have been reports of clashes between local villagers and protesters from the Peoples' Alliance for Democracy (PAD) near the site of a decades-old land dispute near the Preah Vihear temple at Thailand's north-eastern border.
At least 4,000 protesters from the same group which shut down Bangkok airports last year have gathered near the temple.
