Pattaya: Anti-government protesters on Friday turned up by the hundreds at a protest near where a summit of Asian leaders will be held.
The protesters were massing at a police checkpoint on a road leading up a hill toward the summit venue where leaders of 16 Asian nations will gather this weekend.
There was no violence, but protesters had driven a truck to the line of helmeted riot police and were threatening to break through.
The East Asia Summit brings together leaders from the 10-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations, China, Japan, South Korea, India, Australia and New Zealand.
