Thailand Coup, Bangkok Still The Place To Visit

Coup in Thailand, this is not the first coup in Thailand, but the first in a long time. If you were in Thailand recently, or follow politics, this coup is not surprising for several reasons. Many people see corruption at high levels, the extrajudicial treatment of drug problem, the sale of property in Thailand that are important to a foreign country, the way the prime minister maintained his opposition, using every means to reduce silence, and the military revolt in the three southern Muslim provinces more. The political struggle on Capitol Hill is making the army more nervous with the now ousted minister listened to maintain their power, despite a large and vocal group of people who want to see outside. Military involvement with the Muslim insurgency in the south should be of concern for them, and they want to open negotiations with the rebels to work with the issues and reach a peaceful solution. To this end, the Thais have for the first time a Muslim general, overall Sontai to control the army, which now appears to be the new prime minister. Thailand is a predominantly Buddhist country, are very tolerant of minorities, and this seems to be a better route to go instead of trying to muscle through the issues with the force, which is seen as not working and is counterproductive. All Thais love the King! The King of Thailand is the longest ruling monarch in the world today, whose 60th anniversary was a great party. Surprising to see if you walk through Bangkok, is to bring all Thai yellow T-shirts proudly proclaim their love for the king, some weeks after the celebration. The new commander of the armed forces is about the king, and if it has the support of the king, the people will support him. No one was injured again! However, it is almost certain that in the rush to cover the story, and is the most dramatic and sensational, international news agencies to cause more damage to the Thai people that the coup or the deposed prime minister. Thailand not only suffer, but smaller countries also suffer border with Thailand, including Cambodia and Laos, they receive a large amount of tourist traffic by land from Thailand. Tourists who come to Bangkok are now a bit "nervous, but it is safe and has a great story to tell when they get home. Thailand is the ideal place to visit, because it always is and will remain.
