Thailand Coup

First of all, I'm safe. :-) I'm up in Korat (aka Nakhon Ratchasima), which is about 2 1/2 hours outside of Bangkok. I was just about to go to bed last night, and figured I'd turn on the TV after my conference calls. Saw the news about tanks in Bangkok, and that the Prime Minister has declared a state of emergency.

As of this morning, CNN & BBC were off the air in my hotel (and I think in the rest of the country). The Thai military is controlling all the media in the country (except this blog!). I did see one news broadcast at lunch today, so maybe things are getting back to normal.
Good thing for the internet. It's the only way that me (or anyone else around here) is able to know what's going on.

Right now, I'm scheduled to go back to Bangkok on Friday & then fly to Singapore on Saturday evening. Right now, I don't see any reason to change those plans. But, I'll keep an eye on the news over the next few days, and I'll stay put if it looks like there's any danger.

Pictures from the Coup
I hope to get out & take some pictures of my own when I'm in Bangkok this weekend.
