BANGKOK (AP) -- Thailand's government faced renewed street protests Tuesday as the right-wing nationalist group that seized Bangkok's airports two years ago gathered in the capital to pressure the prime minister over a land dispute with Cambodia.

The rally by the People's Alliance for Democracy - also known as the Yellow Shirts - and an associated fringe group are raising tensions in a country still recovering from political violence last year that turned parts of the capital into a war zone. Police on Monday arrested five men accused of plotting to bomb the protest.

The demonstrators set up a stage along a major street near the U.N.'s Asian headquarters and Government House, the prime minister's office that the Yellows occupied for three months in 2008. By late afternoon more than 2,000 people were camped in the area and tents and toilets were being set up.
