"The coup went largely unnoticed in Thailand's popular tourist districts, where foreigners packed bars and cabarets, oblivious to the activity about two miles away. But word raced among street vendors hawking T-shirts, who packed up their carts quickly and started heading home."

Maybe the Thai military can do something about the Muslim insurgency.

same here... I knew it was getting ugly, but last time I checked the leader of the coup had explicitly stated that the military would not intervene in political affairs

"In Thailand's mostly Muslim south, separatist insurgents have waged a bloody campaign that has left at least 1,700 dead, mostly civilians, since 2004. Citizens there have complained of rights abuses by soldiers and discrimination by the country's Buddhist majority."Religion of Hate, Death and Destruction in action.
