.. Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 That would be General Sondhi (Army Commander-in-Chief) of course, no relation to Sondhi the newspaper guy, for those outside of LoS not aware of all the players. Thai TV is broadcasting the following: At present the government reforms the democratic regime with the King as chief. The army commander and national police commander have controled the situation in Bangkok and boundary areas already. There is no opposition. To maintain the peace of the nation we ask people's cooperation and forgive the inconvenience. From 2Bangkok.com Damn, you see...I leave the country and it all falls apart LOL! Seriously, keep safe over there boyz and grrlz. Cheers, SD - Viva Las Vegas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pom Michael Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 Ok, now it is getting serious! UBC is stopped broadcasting - just the red screen saying Technical Difficulties- but funny - only on the news channels! Soccer reruns are ok! CNN / BCC / CNBC / Bloomberg have all been blocked for the last 10 minutes. Uh oh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bkkbound04 Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 Clealry, they do't want Taksin being able to make any statements or trying to influence events at this stage. He was on TV briefly,clearly flustered, denying something that someone had already said but not having a clue as to how to deal with the press, as per usual.

surebet Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 Don't believe the hype. 3 hours ago just when the big volume New York Market opened the Baht was trading at 37.21....how convenient to launch a coup at this exact time. Anyone with inside info on this is making a killing - there leveraged return on there investment in 3 hours is like 30-50 % ALREADY on the IMM. Sitting @ 37.89 as I type and going up. Impossible to prove insider trading as well in such an unregulated market as foreign exchange. fark... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squishy Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 From AP: A convoy of four tanks rigged with loudspeakers and sirens rolled through a busy commercial district warning people to get off the street for their own safety. A senior military official, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation, said army Commander-in-Chief Gen. Sondhi Boonyaratkalin had used the military to take over power from the prime minister. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
