Two of the seven Thais arrested in Cambodia for illegal entry have been additionally charged with spying and will be questioned in court at an extra session on Wednesday, Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya's secretary Chavanond Intarakomalyasut confirmed on Tuesday.
The two are Veera Somkwamkid, a coordinator of the Thai Patriots Network, an affiliation of the yellow-shirt People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD), and his secretary Ratree Pipatanapaiboon.
Mr Chavanond said the additional spying charge could make it more difficult for the Thai government to help, particularly to get their release on bail.
He said the other five, including Democrat MP Panich Vikitsreth, have been charged only with illegal entry and trespassing on a military zone. The five had already testified to the court.
