The Prime Minister is hoping to get out of Thailand as soon as possible, amid the chaos the country has descended into.
John Key arrived in Bangkok first thing this morning intending to drive to the beach resort of Pattaya, where the ASEAN summit was to be held.
He says protestors made the road trip impossible because they had surrounded both the hotel he was staying at and the hotel where the summit was to take place.
John Key says the protestors' actions gave Thai authorities no other option but to cancel the summit.
He is now waiting to get on the first plane out of Bangkok to Beijing, where he will launch trade operations.
