Today, political problems in Thailand reached a new low. ASEAN, which the south east asian version of the EC was due to meet in Pattaya, this is a very prestigious meting to hold for any country.
the Red shirt gang however decided it would use the summit to embarrass the new Thai PM abihsit! This they did when a group a several thousand got into the Hotel and forced the leaders from all the other countries to evacuate from the roof of the building. This is a major set back to Thailand, especially after the airport closure of last year.
PM Abihsit was seriously pissed off and immediately called a state of emergency in Pattaya which lasted for 24 hours.
The demonstrators, having achieved their objective moved back to Bangkok.
