Thai protesters will rally at the Cambodian Embassy in Bangkok to assert Thailand's territorial integrity amidst escalating border tensions with Cambodia.
The demonstration follows a deadly border clash on May 28 and Cambodia's intent to take the disputed area claim before the International Court of Justice (ICJ).
Activists criticize the Thai government for its perceived leniency and lack of firmness in handling the issue, attributing it to close political ties between former leaders.
Earlier, the 'Student and People's Network for Thailand Reform' marched to the Thai Army Headquarters and Defence Ministry to support soldiers and demand stronger government action on national sovereignty.

Thailand's Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul initiated a nationwide crackdown on illegal Thai nominee shareholders in foreign-run businesses and land holdings to safeguard national interests.
The government will integrate efforts across all relevant agencies to target illicit foreign operations, forced sales of illegally acquired property, and high-risk land ownership schemes.
Key strategies include auditing suspect land and building holdings, establishing a long-term monitoring system, and cross-referencing data from various authorities to trace ultimate beneficial owners.
Prime Minister Anutin emphasized that no influential figures or corrupt officials are above the law, promising straightforward prosecution, asset seizures, and protection for enforcing officers.
Beyond land ownership, the integrated crackdown will also extend to tackle transnational crimes, including drug and human trafficking.
