My Parent's Anniversary Trip To Thailand Might Be On Hold

My 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.

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.
