The core leaders of the anti-government protests in Bangkok had previously threatened to disrupt the ASEAN summits if their demands were not met.    

Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva Thursday evening turned down the protester's demands for his resignation in a national TV address, five hours after the pro-Thaksin movement's ultimatum expired.

The latest round of anti-government protests in Bangkok has entered the 16th day, and since March 27 all of the entrances of the Government House have been blocked by the red-shirts, or the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) , preventing Abhisit and his cabinet ministers from entering to work.  

The ASEAN summits are scheduled for April 10-12 in Pattaya, a resort city some 145 km southeast to Bangkok.
