The Santi Dharma group held a meeting in Satun yesterday to plan for the Bangkok rally.

Supap Omsapsin, a coordinator for the group, said it would send 500 people to Bangkok tomorrow, in time for Sunday's rally.

"We will go by train and bus instead of using our cars because someone used dirty tricks in an attempt to stop us from joining the rallies on February 4 and 11," he said.

Therasak Suksantikamol, head of a student group at Thaksin University in Songkhla, said his group would set up a stage at Larndokkaew, the area beside Simila beach in Songkhla, for people to watch a live broadcast of the events at Sanam Luang.

"We think about 2,000 people will join us on the rally day," he said.

The group will also have donation boxes in the crowd to help pay for renting the monitors and equipment for the broadcast.

The Teachers Network announced it would join the People's Alliance for Democracy at its Bangkok rally on Sunday.

Sanit Polsri, the network's leader, said the group had informed its members, asking them to join the rally, but he didn't know how many teachers would respond.

Sunday's rally will be a breaking point if Thaksin doesn't resign or dissolve the House, he said.
