BANGKOK, Thailand - The Thai military launched a coup against Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra on Tuesday night, circling his offices with tanks, seizing control of TV stations and declaring a provisional authority pledging loyalty to the king.

An announcement on Thai television declared that a "Council of Administrative Reform" with King Bhumibol Adulyadej as head of state had seized power in Bangkok and nearby provinces without any resistance.

At least 14 tanks surrounded Government House, Thaksin's office. Thaksin was in New York at the U.N. General Assembly and declared a state of emergency via a government-owned TV station.

Sounds like the PM dissolved the government because he was being accused of corruption.

No oil, no problem... ok... I know... that was cynical. I suspect and hope that the world will keep their noses out, at least for now.

I think their only product to Americans are sex tours and drugs.

And excellent Thai food. Major tourism spot too.

I dont care for tripe but I have had good Thai soup bowls before... good and HOT...

You buy Thai from Thailand?

I buy it from here.

It is fresher that way.

I order some ingredients that come from Thailand. importfood.com

Hard to find galangal root and Holy Basil in the US.

Curry paste right from Thailand is good too.

I like Thai food as well... but not Thai tea. I tried that about a month ago... bleccchh. Vaguely reminded me of my mom giving me hot milk mixed with lots of honey as a kid. I hated that too. :)

I love Thai iced tea. :) And iced coffee too. But I can't have it any more. I have intolerance to dairy. :(

Try Soy milk Pana!

Soy not good for me either. It wouldn't really taste good in thai iced tea either. Blech!

bah I drink soy milk in everything. I gave up real milk sometime last year. =) I love it in tea lol!
