**Wallace** · 19-09-2006, 11:08 PM

Apparently Thaksin managed to address the nation from New York just before all the TV stations went off the air. Interesting.

Royal guard surrounding royal palace protection only

Fox news is showing Thai writing on the screen and saying they don't know what it says.

i can't believe that UBC is still broadcasting....and my internet connection speed seems to have increased.

if this is a coup, someone deserves a dressing down.

**Begbie** · 19-09-2006, 11:12 PM

Well organised coup, for a change.

**buadhai** · 19-09-2006, 11:12 PM

Text on all Thai TV says that military controls BKK and suburbs and asks people for their cooperation.

**daveboy** · 19-09-2006, 11:12 PM

Armed forces and Police are in control of Bangkok which remains peaceful

**mad_dog** · 19-09-2006, 11:12 PM

Who can read thai!! what does that white on blue message on every channel say???
GOW????

**Wallace** · 19-09-2006, 11:13 PM

Latest report is that the troop are loyal to the king. This could be an anti-Thaksin coup. Perhaps the royal family had had enough.

**mrsquirrel** · 19-09-2006, 11:13 PM

The missus says that the TV says that not showing any coverage so as to not upset people.

The MOB wants to change Taksin but they have now been stopped.

bkkmadness · 19-09-2006, 11:14 PM

I think a rough translation is that it justs a message stating that the army are taking over the govt. house andf the police are there controlling crowds.

**dirtydog** · 19-09-2006, 11:14 PM

Everything is now under control, the military have taken control.
