Troops rolling into Bangkok – but it’s not a coup, says Army

By The Nation

 

 

Military moves taking place in Bangkok on Wednesday will be associated with His Majesty the King’s birthday on Sunday and no cause for concern, says the Army.

 

The Army’s Public Relations Division said on Tuesday there was no need for alarm at the sight of processions of arms, troops and vehicles into Bangkok.

 

It said the soldiers, weaponry and vehicles, as well as the Army’s Thongchai Chalermpol (armed forces flag), will be transported into the capital from the Royal Guards 2nd Infantry Division base in Prachin Buri to take part in a ceremony honouring the King.

 

People are welcome to watch the parade along Suwansorn Road in Muang Nakhon Nayok to Ongkarak district, on the highway leading to Ramindra Road, and along Chaeng Wattana, Rama VI and Pradipat roads.

 

Their destination will be the Third Cavalry Regiment base.

Ok, it's not a coup to remove the General.

[PatOngo]

Just letting the masses know who is in control.

It comes to something when you have to warn the country this isn't a coup just a rehearsal????

[DrTuner]

I don't think Thais will be alarmed by the sight of tanks, a coup is so normal here.

[transam]

Blimey, I thought the Bridge players were at it again....????

[DNPBC0]

It's not an actual coup - just a dress rehearsal.

I think that they belong to an organisation in Thailand called Coups-R-Us.

Typical .. Just chucking a left turn with no bloody indicator that little one is .. And those 2 in the background look like Main Battle Tanks .. Quite why Thailand needs pieces of military hardware like that is beyond us ..

You've just not been listening have you? 'National Security' It's a fix-all from a headache to heavy rain.

What else could it be for, apart from big boys toys and bullshitting the gullible population that Thailand will be invaded by a neighbouring aggressor tomorrow.

[JimmyTheMook]

Good Lord!

 

I certainly hope those tanks have sufficient air conditioning.

[ChipButty]

Gee'zzz I only wanted to celebrate my birthday you didn't have to bring the tanks out, Are them we bought from our friends?

Are the submarines being paraded as well?

Or have they sunk already?

[RichardColeman]

It's not a tank, it's just a large wheeled amulet
