Note and reflections:
It is like a slap on his face when the coup took over just right before his speech at UN meeting in New York. After he tried to move his schedule up, this does not help him be able to talk as a head of state for Thailand, in which he cannot claim himself as one anymore. Though confusing clouds flew over Thai sky last night, this morning the sky has been cleared up a bit. On streets in Bangkok, people hand flowers and food to soldiers. Yellow ribbons show the supports from the troop to the king. My nephew reported that a group of soldiers in front of his village entrance. Though, people have to wait and see the future brings us. I hope that the leaders will bring good things to Thailand.

PS. Today is declared as a holiday in Thailand.

Note and reflections:
Waking up this morning with some news from Thailand about coup taking over streets of Bangkok, I follow the situation unfolding from its beginng to some hours (until 2 pm) after couple announcement from the coup group leader. Having an anxious feeling from the first heard about the situation, I am confused whether which side (([former] Thai Prime Minister or Thai army) is taking control. No news on Thai TV stations.... my brother and sister were very neverous, especially the Sis! She leaves some 50 kilometers from civilization. Since all national tv stations are broadcasting the king and royal family clips, I talked to both of them about what media here have covered. BBC, besides CNN, uses very strong words against the coup which sucessfully takes over the power of the former PM. I feel that they do not understand what Thai people want. Even though this PM came from "people votes," he is evil. I use "votes" in a loss sense. They declare that they will bring justice to the PM regime on corruption and such.

I feel a relief but just sad... Relief for Thaksin was ousted!!! Sad for a chapter of Thai Demoracy with coup. Well, at least these coup leaders appear to be nice and seem clean of what they want to do for Thailand.

There was supposed to be a People Alliance for Democratic (PAD) gathering this afternoon in front of Thai consulate. I cannnot go to This one, but I am not sure whether it happens or not.
