Near our house, on one of the roads coming in from the north of Thailand, There is a small detachment of troops.
Around twenty men, two ancient Scorpion Tanks, three Humvies and a truck, they all look fairly bored just sitting there.
Yesterday as I went passed the soldiers were being mobbed by civilians. Not an overdue reaction from the Thai masses in a revolt against a military Junta destroying their attempts at democracy. No these people wanted their pictures taken sitting on the tanks. There were kids in the Humvies playing with the machine guns and young ladies lying across the tanks.
I guess that is better than a bloodbath.
