Govt to invoke ISA in Bangkok : PM

The Cabinet which will meet in Tuesday will be asked to consider the proposal. If approved, the law will be in force in Bangkok from October 15 until the end of Asean Summit which falls on October 25.

The law will be in force as pro-Thaksin protesters planned to rally on October 17 (Saturday), one week before the Asean summit open on Friday October 23.

Asean Summit is about to be held in Cha-am and Hua Hin districts from October 23 and 25.

Meanwhile the ISA is put into effect on Monday in Cha-am and Hua Hin districts ahead of Asan Summit.

Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban told reporters that the security plan for the summit is now in place and he was confident that the Asean Summit will take place without problems.

"Thailand's hosting of the summit will restore confidence among the international communities," Suthep said.

Using the laws in Cha-am and Hua Hin is aimed to preventing any untoward incident such as the protest which forced cancellation of the Pattaya summit in April this year.

In Hua Hin, officials started issuing vehicle stickers to local motorists who registered earlier with the authorities.

Using vehicle ID stickers is a security measure to allow officials to more effectively identify vehicles in the summit vicinity.
