THE COUP: ANOTHER VIEW

After two days, everything seems back to normal here in Bangkok. I had to go downtown last night for a meeting and it was the same bustle of activity and traffic that existed in the pre-coup days.

My friend Corey lives in the city and took some pics of the initial coup action from a few days ago. He was gracious enough to share them with me (thanks Corey!)














Note the soldiers, rifles and tanks sporting yellow ribbons and scarves. That's a direct symbol of loyalty to HM King Bhumibol.









I'm not sure when a military coup became a chance for a trendy photo op, but apparently that's the case over here. (By the way, Corey is NOT in any of these pics!)







Why is this soldier smiling?



Other than that, there's nothing new to report...yet...
