That Thai coup d'etat...was or wasn't it a few days ago.... Well it is now apparently. Anybody off to Thailand soon ?

[237SJ]

Yes me. That is if the flights aren`t suspended.

Was there last year.

Thai green curries are surprisingly dull out there.

You need to come here to dinner, sp. My husband made a Thai Green Curry once that was so spicy it made my head hurt! :o/

19 coup's since the 30's.

Won't make a hapeth of difference to the average tourist. If anything it is probably safer.

that's a coincidence, Naomi. My missus made me a Sunday roast that made my head hurt.

They said that it wasn't a coup a few days ago. Almost makes you distrust them...

I've been in Thailand twice when a coup d'etat took place. Saw very little in the streets, the reaction of the locals, a shrug of the shoulders, all very Thai.....

BBC World and CNN have been taken off the air (no loss there) and there is a night curfew from 2200 to 0500. Apparently the tourists are having their photos taken with the soldiers beside their tanks. As long as I can get to the MBK for a spot of shopping, have a good curry and a couple of beers, I think I`ll survive.
