coup in thailand

Wow. The Prime Minister is in NYC at the UN and so the military stages a coup. You think this sort of thing doesn’t happen these days — pretty freaky. Kathy & I were there in 2000 — really terrific place, we thought, although there were concerns even back then about corruption of Thaksin Shinawatra, their PM. Weird to see tanks rolling in anywhere, but especially in a place you’ve visited.
