Wireless Road (Witthayu Road), one of Bangkok’s most congested and popular stretches of road, will be closed for two days during the 34th ASEAN Summit.

 

Thailand is hosting the 34th ASEAN Summit in Bangkok on June 22 and 23 when it will welcome the regional leaders of the 10 ASEAN member countries – Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar (Burma), Philippines, Singapore, Vietnam and Thailand. This year the meeting will be held at The Athenée Hotel.

 

To accommodate the summit, and for security purposes, Wireless Road will be closed from June 22 at 6am to 23 June at 6pm.

If that's the case, I take it there will be 'no reception' at the end of the summit then?

And naturally, no one will give a hoot to the inconvenience caused to commuters or local residents on closing the road ...

Does that mean you cannot access the Japan, Australian and American embassies while it is closed.

Most embassies are closed over the weekend and blue plate cars are probably on the authorized list.
