My Parent's Anniversary Trip To Thailand Might Be On HoldMy parents are celebrating their 30th anniversary in Thailand next month (the entire month), staying with an exchange student that lived with them a while back. But their plans may change now that the Thai military has staged a coup (more stories will show up here). While the State Department hasn't issued any travel warnings for the area, I would expect them to shortly. Posted by Jake on 09/19/06 @ 01:43 PM

Chris said on 09/19/06 @ 10:57 PM: I'm in Bangkok right now. Last night I heard about the coup and ran down to the epicenter at Government House. To say that this is a bloodless coup is a huge understatement. The big victims that I saw last night were the scores of journalists who had to wait around for hours and take pictures of the two tanks and the 8 soldiers carrying, if my days playing counterstrike serve me well, M4A1s. The highlight was when some more soldiers came and put up orange road cones around the tanks. I would recommend that no one delay their travel plans due to this coup.

(09:56:33 AM) Martin: lol, its all hype (09:56:36 AM) Martin: nothings wrong here (09:56:44 AM) Martin: very peaceful (09:56:58 AM) Martin: although its annoying that the army seem to be censoring cnn here (09:57:29 AM) Martin: but i think international news are really making it into a big deal (09:57:33 AM) Martin: nobody here cares (09:57:43 AM) Martin: its unlikely to get messy Post a comment |
