Thai soldiers have put up barbed wire to prevent People's Alliance for Democracy protesters entering Phra Viharn National Park, and set up more checkpoints along the road to the park, according to a local reporter in Si Sa Ket province.

The barbed wire was placed around around the office and the entrance to the national park, and two more military checkpoints were now the road between Nam Khun and Kantharalak districts, in addition to existing checkpoints manned by para-military rangers.

Huge billboards opposing the PAD's planned rally have been put up at various intersections along the road between Kantharalak district of Si Sa ket and Muang district of Ubon Ratchathani, the reporter said.

Mmm, we don't need the nationalists out and kicking up a fuss at the temple - benefits nobody, and likely to cause grief...

This is not going to go well at all.
