Very counterdicktory story. Shes gonna establish a government in exile but shes still under detention "somewhere" in Thailand by the army very sloppy reporting.
Here's the good news part of the coup there will be fewer Americans around http://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/state ... nd-n113481
Better if we got rid if Australians!!!
Agreed, they are on a par with the Pattaya Russians, they have the same amount of class.Quote:

The headline is misleading, Thaksin not Yingluck is attempting to form the government in exile(if we can believe that). I'm sure they would reunite at a future date after her detention.Quote:

The British Foreign Office is not yet (24.5.14) following the US State Department regarding not making non-essential travel to Thailand.
They do however advise against going near areas subject to demonstrations and staying in accomodation when in doubt. Also mention is made about checking travel insurance, pointing out that some insurers withdraw cover to countries subject to a coup.
I phoned my travel insurance company yesterday to check this = and got to talk to a young woman who basically recited the warning on the Dept of Foreign Affairs(Ireland) website. I felt very re-assured. I will continue to monitor the warnings from the Irish government - as this is what can invalidate travel insurance
having said that - I see no reason to change my plans of going to Pattaya in 11 and a half days (no, I'm not counting)
Just as a side note to the chorus line...
