apalink_thailand Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 The other day I received an SMS telling of an impending coup d'etat to cooincide with the Queens birthday (there was also a simialr post on ThaiVisa). Of course, I simply laughed it off. However, what is interesting is that today in the BKK Post, there is a front page article stating that the PM had dinner with the Military brass last night. Now I am curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeaceBlondie Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 I assume that a prime minister, himself a former police officer, often meets with top brass. Part of his job. When's the last time we went a week without hearing some rumour of a coup? And chicken coops? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
