I don't know why the gov't has to tell everything.  The number of security personnel is not something to advertise.  Just let people know that security is in place.  Unless they want the som tam ladies to know how many to prepare for.

Maybe the number are anyway wrong to confuse the enemy?
18.000 is a large number so maybe there are only 2.000 but they tell 18.000 to scare the red shirts.

I leave Heathrow tomorrow for 2 weeks in Cha Am, is this going to affect my holiday at all?

Thanks

At the last sumit held in Hua Hin the only disruption was that the police closed the main Petchkasem road
from time to time while the deligates were in transit. And during the actual sumit they made the bars close a little earlier.
I hope that this helps.

Nah. The only physical danger round those parts is tripping over an elderly Kraut on a zimmer frame, who, due to the poor state of the pavements, has tottered to earth pulling down with him a tiny Thai 'faen' that he found somewhere the evening before.....

The Thai government has bought a fleet of new armoured Range Rovers to ferry the ASEAN VIPs between BKK and Cha-Am/Hua Hin. Thank heavens they wont exceed the speed limit.

is this why thailand bought new rifles?

no I think they bought it because there is always a nice commission on such purchases.

And always a good market to sell the old ones! maybe Burma?

Yes, those old M16s would have been just fine for this crowd...

If they are going to sell any guns they should probably sell those m1 carbine that they let us use for practice in rotc, half of them still works its just been around 60 years since its been used.

The government are more concerned about a terrorist attack by southern separatists or Muslim terrorists from Indonesia or the Phillipines than the red shirts at Hua Hun and Cha-am.

You are right on target?? 100% and thanks for posting??? I, myself really concern about the Southern Separatists and they will never go away. These people do not speak Thai and they do not want to be part of Thai poulation. ( sorry )  They will fight until the end. it is too bad that there are so many beautiful beaches and nice islands to visit. The tourists will gone nut for such wonderful places and fancy hotels...the red shirts might coming into a picture and no one knows..so many army of soldiers. Will they able to do the job?? Thailand needs more tourists and anything goes wrong will inpact the tourists industry. I hope Thailand learned from the last action that happened at the new airport. Well this is my take and opinion.
