Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva arrived at the Royal Cliff Beach Resort hotel in Pattaya on Friday morning to attend the 14th Asean Summit and related summits.

His helicopter landed about 10.30am as red-shirt protesters were marching from North Pattaya towards the hotel in South Pattaya.

The protesters were led by group leader and singer Arismun Pongruengrong.

The protesters planned to try and hand a letter to Asean leaders stating the argument of the United Front for Democrcy against Dictatorship (UDD) that Mr Abhisit did not come to power democratically.

Several security points have been set around the summit venue to prevent the red-shirts from disrupting the proceedings.

It was strange to see police salute and cheering the protesters, when the protesters drowe from Pattaya toward Royal Cliff Beach Resort. It mostly looked like the police led the protesters toward Royal Cliff Beach Resort. If this turns violent, who will the police then protect???
