THAI Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva announced today that the venue of the 14th Summit of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations will be moved from the earlier planned Bangkok to central resort town Hua Hin for security reasons.
This is the third announced change of venue of this summit, which was initially planned as tradition to be held in the capital after Thailand took over the ASEAN chairmanship from Singapore last July.
It was later moved to the northern city Chiang Mai after protesters upgraded their siege on the Government House and other state establishments in Bangkok to protest against the former government led by Somchai Wongsawat, who was disqualified early December after a three-month premiership. After Abhisit became Prime Minister in December, the new government changed back to the choice of Bangkok.
Hua Hin is a popular beach resort town in Prachuap Khiri Khan province, some 200 kilometers south to Bangkok, where the summer palace of the Thai royal family is located.
