so i just went for a drive round, it was 9 am here and the roads are normally like a car park but they were quite empty. however the army is at every major road junction, hummers and tanks everywhere but they seem very calm, not stopping traffic and just appear to be a visible presence.
however thaksin is yet to return to thailand and he says he is still in power so can mobilise the army to quell the coup. (the soldiers in the coup are loyal to general sonthi who was sacked yesterday by thaksin, and a lot of the army is in favour of thaksin). so we will se what happens when he returns.
