Another coup is coming for sure. What’s more, it will be endorsed by the Thai king.

Bhumibol Adulyadej is a polical king who endorses military coups in order to maintain control over Thailand.

If it does don’t worry about it…go and enjoy your trip. My first trip was directly after the last coup and it never impacted my vacation in any way.

I hope this doesn’t happen. We are due to fly to Thailand in about 4 weeks.

I agree with your sentiments about PAD. The Military on the other hand said there wouldn’t be a coup in 2006 too.

There is talk of a referendum and talk of dissolving the house of representatives but so far it’s just talk.

The longer this standoff takes the weaker the government looks and the people might be swayed by PAD.

I don’t think there will be another coup. The military has said they won’t interfere again. Moreover, I don’t think the PAD has enough popular support to make it worth happening.

They recently said they were going to have a referendum.

Personally, I don’t like the PAD. They are not for democracy, they are ruining the countries fragile economy and political system, and they really just want to replace samak with their corrupt guys. same same but different.
