Turmoil in Thailand
A good friend of mine was uploading her pictures of Thailand yesterday and today when it came across the news that a coup de ta is happening there. Funny timing. It was interesting to hear on the radio about something happening in a place I had a direct link with just a few hours before.
I think this also has to be one of the most polite overthrows in history with comments from the military leaders like “We ask for the cooperation of the public and ask your pardon for the inconvenience.” and people trying to get their pictures taken with the tanks and soldiers.
I wonder if the guard in this picture was part of it. Anyway click on the picture to go to the gallery where it is posted. There are some spectacular buildings to see as well as a giant reclining Bhudda.
