Thai opposition activists protest near a hotly disputed temple between Thailand and Cambodia on Sunday.
The two countries have had a series of standoffs over the Preah Vihear temple, and seven soldiers died in border skirmishes here over the past year.
The latest protest - led by PAD politician Veera Somkwamkid - called on the Cambodian military to leave the region.
[Veera Somkwamkid, PAD Politician]:
"Our protest is to condemn the Cambodia government that has brought civilians here and mobilized their military into Thai territory. They have also been erecting building in the area over the past few years."
A Thai army commander and his men were on hand to keep the peace a day after PAD activists clashed with locals prepared to fight for a peaceful life.
[Lt. Gen. Viboonsak Neehparn, Thai Army]:
"So far, there has not been a negative reaction from the Cambodian army. We told Cambodia's Regional 4 commander about this and he understands the situation."
An international court has awarded the 11th century Hindu temple to Cambodia but ownership of the grounds is unclear.
The Cambodians have built a small tourist village on the disputed site, but Thailand also wants to develop the area to get its share of any future profits.
