Cha-Am blog by onlychaam

You may be surprised to see a lot of police cars and minivans in Cha-am these days. It has nothing to do with Abhisit or the red-shirts, but rather with the MRC summit that is taking place in Hua Hin (MRC stands for Mekong River Commission).

The Mekong River Commission was established in 1995 by an agreement between the governments of the Lower Mekong Basin, Cambodia, Lao PDR, Thailand and Viet Nam. The Summit, which is the first of its kind, will gather regional Prime Ministers, political leaders, MRCs Dialogue Partners, the People’s Republic of China and the Union of Myanmar, its Development Partners and a range of experts in the field of transboundary water resources management. This event marks the 15th Anniversary of the Mekong River Commission and will serve to reaffirm at the highest level, political commitment of Member Countries to the mission of the MRC.
