Re: Alleged military coup in progress in Thailand (none / 0)
I noticed a tourist saying the following on the BBC's article about the coup:

"To see this is a once in a lifetime opportunity"

Well, it's wrong. I was in Bangkok during the 1985 coup and could very well have been there during this one. Apparently there was another one between these two, so I could have gone for a hat trick ...

Damn tourists, getting all excited about something that has all the markings of being rather routine.
