A Phetchabun man has launched a nation-wide odyssey in his ageing motor-tricycle to raise people's awareness about the Preah Vihear temple dispute.
Nattapon Thongwan, 48, arrived at Phitsanulok provincial hall yesterday to a warm welcome from the governor and a group of supporters.
He started his journey in Phayao and so far has passed through Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Lampang, Phrae, Uttaradit and Sukhothai before reaching Phitsanulok.
Mr Nattapon said he wanted all Thais to unite and reclaim possession of Preah Vihear from Cambodia because the government had not done its job properly.
"I could not remain silent over the issue, so I initiated this campaign to give information about the [Preah Vihear] sanctuary and raise public awareness," Mr Nattapon said.
