Up to 1,000 protesters are expected to converge at the border with Cambodia near Preah Vihear temple for a protest asserting Thai sovereignty today.
The rally looks set to go ahead despite last-minute pleas by the government and army that protesters should stay at home and avoid causing trouble.
The People's Alliance for Democracy has called the gathering, but its leaders are divided over whether it should go ahead.
The rally to protest against Cambodia's decision to build new houses and bring in Cambodians to the disputed area is led by PAD member Veera Somkwamkid alone.
A source in the group said some of the five core leaders opposed the rally but did not want to show their opposition for fears that it would paint the PAD in a negative light.
