Great pic. I was in Thailand a bit over a
week ago and this coup is absolutely
intriguing to me. If I was an irrational man,
I would drop everything and head right back
there. I was just looking at my pics from the
palace and I'm surprised that I didn't
see/hear any rumblings, as the news outlets
report. Did anyone else hear these whispers
of discontent? In the month that I was there
I didn't hear anything about this.

The alleged military assasination attempt
against PM Thaksin and his appointment of key
allies to military posts provoked widespread
discontent among senior Army officials in the
weeks leading up to this.

I didn't hear about the alleged assasination
attempt, but I did hear about the various
appointments of military personnel..
BTW, seeing these gates surrounded by
military personnel is very strange
considering that it was nothing like this a
week ago. But alas, I am back in the states
and things seem to occur so quickly. Having
said that, I know my way around Bangkok so
does anybody want to finance my trip there?
Anybody? Anybody? Yeah, that's what I kind of
figured... Maybe next time.
