Democrat MP Panich Vikitsreth, who along with six other Thais was convicted in January of illegal entry into Cambodia, is planning to visit the two who remain jailed in Phnom Penh.
Mr Panich, an MP for Bangkok, and four others were released from Prey Sar prison by the Phnom Penh Municipality in January after being handed suspended sentences.
But Thai Patriots Network coordinator Veera Somkhwamkid and his secretary, Ratree Pipattanapaiboon, were convicted of further charges of espionage and jailed for eight and six years, respectively.
Pending approval from the Cambodian government, Mr Panich, who spent a month in the prison while awaiting judgement, will accompany relatives of Veera and Ratree Pipattanapaiboon on the trip to Phnom Penh.
