According to the news there’s been a military coup in Thailand. The coup plotters declared martial law and suspended the constitution. They have also declared the day a holiday, with schools, banks and the country’s stock market closed.

This is the first coup since 1992, and the 18th in Thailand’s history since WWII.

Meantime, there’s a slight drop in the value of the Thai Baht due to the coup but after yesterday’s rise, the drop is insignificant. But it remains to be seen if the markets will not react adversely.

Way to go, General Sonthi!! And bye bye, Thaksin Tham-sim (greedy in Hokkien). You have to pay for your greed sooner or later!! It’s a pity you didn’t pay for it with your life!!
