Guest BKKvisitor Posted October 8, 2006 Posted October 8, 2006 (From New York Times, Oct. 8, 2006) IT was another Tuesday night at the Londoner, a popular Bangkok pub where expatriates, tourists and Thai regulars were, as usual, bellying up to the bar, downing pints and chatting amid a dense haze of smoke. Outside, the rain was falling; inside the topic of conversation was the military coup that had overthrown Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra the week before. Quote
Guest Hedda Posted October 8, 2006 Posted October 8, 2006 Can you imagine what these same guys would be saying if the junta had ordered all bars and massage parlors closed until further notice. The outrage against democracy would be palpable. Quote
