Blimey, looks as if there's a military coup going on here. PM Thaksin's called a state of emergency, and has ordered the military not to do anything illegal, but he's in NYC. There are troops in govt house.
News media has been replaced by patriotic songs. And it's pissing down.
Will attempt to place updates, although I'm relying pretty much on the BBC at the moment, so you probably know as much as I do.

Wow you're now our man in Bangkok. Keep us updated.
Thailand's certainly stable by comparsion with some of the other countries in the region. If this is a coup, it's the fourth one since 1973, which is pretty good going round these parts.
Progressive? I'll talk about that when the political situation gets a bit less hair-trigger.
I don't think things are getting out of control. Just a bit of musical chairs.
I thought I'd woken up in the wrong decade when I saw a coup in Thailand and riots in Hungary in the news. Still, glad it's only as hairy as a train-strike.
