Maybe ASEAN could get a Colonel to stand up and shout, "Stop it now. This is getting very silly."

Haha didn't Surapong the honest say ASEAN had already drafted a letter supporting the Shinawatra government? Doesn't seem so does it now?

You are wrong again because it's reasonable to expect a new Asean statement to come out of the Myanmar summit calling on all parties concerned to resolve the current situation through dialogue and consultations in a peaceful and democratic manner, which speaks directly to Suthep, the cave men of the PDRC, to Abhisit to chill out and get their own house in order.

The following is the statement Asean issued last December calling for consultations, a peaceful and democratic solution to Thailand's troubles:.

On December 14, 2013, at 2300hrs, leaders of 9 ASEAN countries agreed to issue a joint statement regarding suggestions on Thailand’s political movement and support for its democracy to avoid any impact upon the ASEAN Community as a whole. The agreement was made during the ASEAN-Japan Commemorative Summit held in Japan on December 13-14, 2013. The 9 ASEAN leaders are: 1) Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah of Brunei Darussalam; 2) President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono of Indonesia; 3) Prime Minister Samdech Hun Sen of Cambodia; 4) Prime Minister Thongsing Thammavong of Lao PDR; 5) Prime Minister Najib bin Abdul Razak of Malaysia; 6) President Thein Sein of Myanmar; 7) President Benigno Aquino III of the Philippines; 8) Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong of Singapore; and 9) Prime Minister Nguyễn Tấn Dũng of Vietnam.

The content of the statement is as follows:

“We, the Heads of State/Government of ASEAN Member States, have been closely following the current developments in the Kingdom of Thailand. We reiterate that the political stability in the Kingdom of Thailand is essential to achieving a peaceful, stable and prosperous ASEAN Community. We call on all parties concerned to resolve the current situation through dialogue and consultations in a peaceful and democratic manner.”

As of this statement, there are altogether 45 countries that released a statement to support Thailand's democracy and electoral process

In 2011 Asean accepted the precedent of involving itself in the affairs of an individual member state when it accepted the order of the International Court of Justice in the Preah Vihear dispute and conflict.

Asean complied with the ICJ ruling by appointing observers from Indonesia to include small units of the armed forces of Indonesia to access the temple and its surrounding disputed areas at the Thailand-Cambodia border. Each Thailand and Camboida withdrew troops in favor of the Asean observers and the Indonesian buffer troops.

FM Surapong successfully submitted to parliament rules of engagement for all parties involved at Preah Vihear. The ROE were jointly developed by the three governments in consultation with Asean and approved by the Thai parliament in accordance with Article 190 Paragraph 2 of the constitution.

Indonesian FM Marty Natalegawa was instrumental in facilitating the agreements for Asean to engage by placing observers, for Bangkok and Phnom Penh to withdraw significant numbers of the armed forces of each from the area, for Indonesian troops to enter and remain in the areas to keep the peace, and for further discussions to carry forward.

Indonesian FM Natalegawa was also instrumental in the Asean statement of December last and is promoting a further statement by Asean leaders from the coming summit in Myanmar.

The Boyz in Beijing work to divide Asean while Japan, the US, Australia, India work to facilitate a unified Asean. Asean wants a unified Asean. The ammart have been left standing alone on the pier.
