The Yellow Peril: Weblog of Tze Ming Mok http://publicaddress.net/default,3523.sm#post3523 Coup update: Military finds innovative solution to Bangkok traffic congestion Update from Stephen 12:30pm NZ time, 7:30am Thai time: "Morning, Gil Scott Heron, was right - the revolution will not be televised. We lost local TV at 10 pm last night & the big boys, BBC, CNN & CNBC at midnight. My friends tell me everything will be back to normal tomorrow (I don't know what Thai normal is however). The streets are pretty quiet (my cab ride took 15 mins - on a normal day it would take 1hr 15 mins) & you wouldn't know a coup was being staged - saw a few soldiers standing on a couple of major intersections and that was it. Think people here are surprised that a coup did eventuate (though there had been rumours since last week). Many thought the days of martial law etc was history etc We're trying to get hold of [my wife's] uncle, he's well into the anti-Thaksin thing to see what he knows. Banks & schools are closed today With no TV you guys know more about what's happening than we do..."
