Thailand poloticians dont support any kind of coup, but during the past five years, the government of Thaksin created several conditions that forced the military to stage the coup. Thaksin has caused the crisis in the country. At least four tanks and a number of armored vehicles were stationed around the royal palace in Bangkok. Soldiers apparently were setting up roadblocks, and what appeared to be members of the royal guard surrounded the palace.Troops on the streets of the Thai capital had yellow ribbons on their weapons, a sign of loyalty to the nation's king, to whom the coup plotters proclaimed their loyalty.Two tanks were parked outside the government headquarters, which houses Thaksin's office.There have been 17 coups in Thailand since World War II, and rumors of an 18th have been circulating around Bangkok in recent weeks as Thaksin battled considerable pressure to step down. This is the first coup since 1992.
So everyone im fine, its mostly situated in bangkok, today schools are back on, and rotary hasnt warned me or even shown any warning of whats happening, even my host family arnt worried, phuket is pretty far from bangkok, and its seems to be coming to a end. For Safety of Thailands citizens, thier is a curfue for people to stay in thier homes no later than sunset, while soldiers walk the streets.
