Coup!
A state of emergency has been declared by PM Taksin, who is in New York now.
The military has come into Bangkok in full numbers, with tanks. They have taken the government buildings, Taksin's house, and who knows what else. This means HM the King, in this 60th year of power, has also been overthrown. This is serious...
The army has taken over all the television stations, with a recorded message telling us that the army has taken control to end the several month struggle with election results from last April's suprise election called by Taksin.
I plan to not get shot. It has happened in the past. Nobody has any idea what will happen tomorrow.
I'll keep posting as long as I have internet.

Listening to Radio Bangkok over the 'net and their playing Dancing Queen...inappropriate but adds somewhat to what must be a surreal situation.
Hope this doesn't last long and you and everyone pulls through it ok.
