Possible coup in Thailand

...according to Reuters and BBC:

• Tanks are blocking roads around the government HQ in Bangkok
• A state of emergency has been declared by the absent PM
• The head of the armed forces has been sacked
• An army TV channel (huh?) is broadcasting images of the Thai royal family accompanied by songs 'traditionally associated with coups'
• The army say that a 'special announcement' will be made tonight
• Government House has been seized by troops 'loyal to sacked army chief'

So glad that we booked our honeymoon in Thailand!
