Puea Thai MP for Chiang Mai Surapong Towichakchaikul has called on the government to invoke the Internal Security Act (ISA) to deal with the yellow-shirts who planned to protest against the Cambodian government in Kanthararak distict of Si Sa Ket province, near Preah Vihear, on Saturday.

“If the yellow-shirts intrude into the disputed border area it could lead to violent confrontation between Thai and Cambodian troops stationed along the border,” Mr Surapong said on Friday.

The government should use the same standard in dealing with the red and yellow shirts, the Chiang Mai MP said.
