military coup in thailand...
was quite shocked to see the headlines of the newspaper tis morning juz as i was stepping out of the house. apparently there had been a military coup in thailand yesterday n the military had taken over govt while pm thaksin is in US at the moment...
nvr expect a coup to happen in thailand even though political situation hv been unstable since early this yr... was worrying abt how long tis wld last n how it might affect my trip there in jan next yr when i suddenly realised my bro was actually over in bangkok for a biz trip at the moment... even though i am quite sure everything wld be ok coz itz a bloodless coup n even though there were demonstrations earlier in the yr when i went but everything still seemed fine to us tourist at that time BUT those images of troops taking over streets of bangkok and all those warning by local n foreign govt to citizens in thailand are pretty worrying.
p.s. bro smsed back to say everything quite calm over at bangkok at the moment..
