Passions erupt as a villager hurls a stick at nationalist protestors in the Thai community of Kantharalak.

On July 17 villagers and police prevented nationalists from gathering at the Preah Vihear temple.

Damrong Kraikruan, Charge d'Affaires at the Royal Thai Embassy in Washington, D.C., said hope for peace sprang from a meeting of Thai and Cambodian officials last week.
