OCgringo Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 well I do not see Taskins supporters going against the army , unless there are groups in the army that support Taskin , this will be over soon, Any word from up north , which was always Taskins strong hold ?

Fidel Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 I don't think they will block access, it's anti-Thaksin forces.. if it was Thaksin I think they would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MooNoi Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 This coup... who against who? Aren't there different factions within the army here? If that's the case, what happens if they start fighting each other? Could get nasty! Not sure how the army works here... then again... who is? Just heard on BBC that Thaksin's hasn't left NYC yet - his speech to the U.N. General Assembly has been brought forward to 5 hours from now. (Its now 11.45pm Thai Time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fidel Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 If this is true.. I'm delighted! Down with Thaksin! All peaceful so far. Let's see if the boys from Issan get involved.. these guys who received training for such an event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangkoktraveler Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 International press agencies, including CNN and BBC, are reporting that military forces have taken control of Bangkok. [color:blue]Almost all Thai newspaper websites have been closed down. Thai TV channels are all showing the same program â?? a message saying that the military and police are taking care of the situation in Bangkok.[/color] International press agencies are reporting that military forces have taken control of Government House. There are reports that 14 tanks now surround government house. It is reported that caretaker Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra â?? in New York for the opening of the UN session - has removed the chief of the army, General Sonthi Bunyaratkarin. Phuket has so far been unaffected. Phuket Post will update our readers as more information becomes available.

OCgringo Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 a bit off subject , but when you think about it , our discussion here is great , news reports from all over the world , first hand reports from drunks on the street (ohh I mean other board members) This would never have happened 10 years ago before the NET was everywhere.
