A Coupe d'etat in Thailand?

[Socke]

I remember a thread where a member from thailand warned about an instable, if not delicate situation.

German media just reported tanks blocking the roads to at least one government building and that there will be a speach from the military later.

Hopefully everybody there is safe and nobody gets hurt and that the elections coming oct. 15th will be democratic and the people remain as free as possible.

It's on the BBC too, Volker. Looks bad.

Thai PM is in the US I think...

I hope it stays noneventful beyond what's already happened so far

I don't think the now-former PM is worried about where to get his next meal.

He is in NYC where we have many fine restaurants. I am currently in Warrensburg and am listening to National Public Radio which is reporting hourly. I wish the Thai people well.
