Thailand's Prime Minister faces a tough test this weekend as he hosts the delayed leaders summit of the Association of South East Asian nations. A lot is riding on it for Abhisit Vejjajiva the fresh-faced Oxford graduate who rose to office in controversial circumstances just over two months ago. As his neighbouring counterparts get set to arrive for the summit Mr Abhisit is talking up his government but protesters continue to dog him about his legitimacy. He's accused of being closely linked to the protest group which shutdown Bangkok's airports last year. 

Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva went to work briefly at Government House on Wednesday as the ring of demonstrators camped outside the grounds vowed to continue their campaign to unseat his two-month-old government. Up to 10,000 supporters of ousted prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra dressed in their trademark red shirts surrounded the Government House compound in Bangkok on Tuesday demanding fresh elections, with many sleeping outside overnight. Protest leaders have vowed to stay as long as they have to, piling pressure on the young government just days ahead of the key regional Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) summit, which has already been delayed.
