Martial law in Thailand more bad news for embattled tourism industry

@ Scarpolo

Well your post seems to have gone awol, but certainly there was a part of it that covered the rumours an American nudge to the Thai Army. If so, my point may well be wrong - the diplomatic community having already worked through the sanctions issue, in the event of a coup. Indeed, if the conclusion was that sanctions would be unavoidable, that may be why we have martial law and not a coup.

Whatever, what Thailand must understand is that events are now reverberating way beyond it's borders. Other countries' interests are affected. Thailand has long-since blown ASEAN. Note that, in recent months, Hanoi has proved very skilled at producing a rapprochement with Washington. The diplomatic balance is changing. And as for relative investment environments in South-East Asia ....

Another possible view is that a political agenda has led to increased reporting on the insurgency.
