Summit moved for security
An October summit of Asian leaders in Thailand will be held under stringent security to avoid chaos, Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajivasaid on Monday, confirming a venue change to a seaside resort near the revered king's palace. The October 23-25 East Asia Summit, which includes 16 nations, will be held in Cha-am, a beach resort 200 km south of the capital Bangkok instead of in Phuket. Abhisit said stringent security will be imposed to avoid any chaos.
