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!
