Rangsit University Student Council President Teerawat Wankaew, along with members of the student union, traveled to the Cambodian Embassy to read a letter of protest.
The student council applauded and read out words of encouragement to the two convicted Thai activists, Weera Somkwamkid and Ratree Pipattanapaiboon, for doing their best to defend Thailand's sovereignty and dignity.
The students said they felt disappointed with Prime Minister Abhist Vejjajiva and the government's effort to help the two Thai activists.
They also urged the government to devise a detailed plan to respond to Cambodia's action and immediately cancel the memorandum of understanding that was signed in 2000.
They condemned Cambodia's action under Premier Hun Sen, who the students said has disrespected Thailand's sovereignty, and demanded Cambodia show responsibility for arresting the seven Thais as soon as possible in order to avoid sparking a war between the two countries.
The students then placed wreaths in front of the Cambodian Embassy to protest the Cambodian court's sentencing of the two Thai activists to jail.
The student council president affirmed that the protest was not orchestrated by any political group or individual and it was the students' own opposition against the Cambodian court's ruling.
