A Thai nationalist group, led by Sondhi Limthongkul, demands the government scrap MoU 44 with Cambodia within 15 days, threatening street protests if their demand is not met.
Opponents claim MoU 44, signed in 2001, is unconstitutional and invalid, as it recognizes an overlapping maritime claim area of 26,000 sq km in the Gulf of Thailand between Thailand and Cambodia.
