(BangkokPost.com) – Security in a military airport in Ubon Ratchathani province has been stepped up on Saturday morning as Prime Minister Somchai Wongsawat is scheduled to visit soldiers wounded in gun fight between Thailand and Cambodia around disputed area near Preah Vihear temple.
Riot police were also deployed there to ensure safety for Mr Somchai.
Army chief Anupong Paojinda did not accompany him on the visit. Rifts between the premier and military leaders have turned sour after he rejected Gen Anupong’s call to step down to take responsibility for the Oct 7 violence.
Mr Somchai refused to give any interviews in the morning. He only said he would speak to the press after he returns to Bangkok in the evening.
