Thailand: First day of the coup

05.10.2006 09:44 Thailand - Source: globalvoicesonline

Rumors of a coup had been circulating in Bangkok for weeks, and foreigners like me had been ‘warned’ to be careful, don’t stay out late, move in groups, keep updated with news reports, watch the cable TV.

So when it happened last night (Tuesday, Sept 19), I was hardly surprise. Nevertheless, I was excited. I have never experienced a coup before and I wanted to be in the thick of things.

When I heard about the coup, it was already past 10pm, and I had just returned to my apartment after dinner. I tried to get a taxi to where the action is: the government house. But no taxi seem to want to ferry me there.

So begins a spirited account of the day’s activities by blogger Susan Loone in Bangkok, the latest in a series of entries on the unfolding coup in Thailand.
