Thailand: The Revolution Has Been Blogged

Global Voices has been gathering blog posts from Thailand that are reporting on the military coup. The reports from the street sure sound like life is pretty normal. The blog Lost in Translation, Life in Bangkok has this headline: Happy Military Coup. From the blog: Well… today.. scary day? No.. its more like a holiday. After the TV declared a holiday, I slept till 3pm… It’s not scary like how military coups are like else where. It’s a happy mode. No one blowing each other brains out. And if only everyday Bangkok could be naturally this less congested. On the streets, civilians are enjoying the holiday. Bringing food and water to the soldiers, photo taking session, flowers presented to soldiers.” (via JD Lasica)
