BANGKOK: The image-conscious Thaksin administration has ordered hastily implemented facelifts to show Bangkok in the best possible light when leaders of 21 member countries of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum converge on the capital city for a summit next month. 

Gone are thousands of stray dogs from the city centre. They have been rounded up and resettled in a holding centre in Sa Kaew province where they will be kept and taken care of, never to return to the capital’s neighbourhoods.
