Oh, you mean when pigs fly ...

If I remember right, they said leaders of countries attending the Summit can bring bodyguards and guns and should not be worried about security once they're in Thailand. Only that will scare them to death. How can they think they are safe when you say they can bring body guards and guns?

Since you apparently missed the news in the other thread, I'll let you learn that foreign armed security is normal and common... as in most countries, the same applies here, too...

National Police Chief assures entry of armed personnel for ASEAN Summits common practice

BANGKOK, 13 May 2009 (NNT) -The Commissioner-General of the Royal Thai Police, Pol. Gen. Patcharawat Wongsuwan indicates that permission for ASEAN leaders to enter the country with armed guards is a common practice but will require a detailed list of the arms used.

The Police Chief stated that the Government's permission for national leaders to attend the upcoming ASEAN +3 and +6 Summits with their own personal armed guards was a standard practice that merely was never a point of public interest.

Pol. Gen. Patcharawat assured that the entry of all weapons into Thailand by foreign security personnel must pass through customs regulations and conform to protocols that include the submission of detailed reports of all arms used.
