To answer your  question is easy, normally out scamming folk, so no 200 bahts for them until the summit is over.

I have noticed just yesterday they are all over the place around Bangkok, even inside the BTS stations scaring tourists. They are everywhere, like ants at a picnic.

Pity help anyone who spoils the atmosphere and causes embarrassment to the great one. Be warned, there will be NO mercy for anyone who commits the heinous crime of "atmosphere spoiling". 

Good security measures in place by the RTP, as would be the case anywhere else in the world for an international event such as the ASEAN summit.

Khun Prayuth Chan O Cha obviously being the chairperson and speaker will be host to some high level Prime Ministers & the President of the US.

great for Thailand and good job by the Prime Minister & the RTP.

Ok 17,000 police, who's counting? and where's the navy and airforce in all of this? what? no seal team no crack commandos? and what pray tell they need so many police there? does anything make sense in this country where the sublime the the ridiculous are all mixed up so much so you can't tell them apart?...

Trump did not go. The whole thing is a joke except for China always trying to make headway by worming their way into a country and then later strangle-holding them. But there are a lot of attendees for sure. Here is who went: U.S. national security adviser Robert C. O’Brien and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross will

It was on the news yesterday showing the opening of the event and the outside gala having a helicopter come just overhead and then about 8-10 commandos repelling down to the ground. Now what is up with that? Extremely tacky and showing a military state.

Exactly. My only problem is that there are too many cops around down in those areas and it reminds me of China and all those other places in Europe where you have cops everywhere. waay to much of a buzz kill. Thank god for seeing this topic, I was going to head downtown so to speak and get me some grub, notice that I forgot SINCE YESTERDAY AFTERNOON that this is going on. Wow.

Just goes to show how popular some of these delegates are.

Not going.  Trump likely having another MAGA rally.  POTUS sent National Security adviser and Commerce secretary instead

Isn't that overkill? I've read that Thailand is a safe place, guess it was fake news.

That's 17,000 cops having to 'work' and no tea money.

It will be hammer time once the summit has finished!

This ASEAN SUMMIT will attract a lot of attention internationally as Asia continues to expand and develop.

Khun Prayuth Chan O Cha has already met with many dignitaries including India's PM and others to discuss trade and bilateral relations.

Well done Khun Prayuth Chan O Cha and well done Thailand for hosting such an event.

Good to know he has a translator on hand. We wouldn't want people to think that a man who was the commander in chief of a sovereign nation’s army, and current prime minister married to a former English teacher, has less grasp of the English language than a bar girl.

I guess they were Prayuth and Prawit, as well as their spouses and personal secretaries. The Fuhrer and his deputy just love a grand entrance that leaves spectators standing in awe, ya know... Did any of them sing a nationalistic ode while repelling or, perhaps, flash a forearm full of expensive wristwatches?
