Coup D'etat - Bangkok
Breaking news on the TV yesterday evening announced a Coup D'Etat was in progress in Bangkok. This seemed a little strange as we were sat in the heart of Bangkok totally unaware of these events. Next morning I prepared for work but my driver didnt turn up and after a quick phone call I heard that the company was closed. From our 28th floor apartment the view was the same and everything looked calm. There was something missing however - the traffic. It was unusally quiet on both the normally busy road close to our apartment and on the highway which we can see in the distance. Both CNN and BBC News have been blocked so we do not know what is exactly going on at this moment. We just hope that everything remains peaceful.
