Whats been happening in Thailand over the last three months? Well it seems not too much. 
Thailand is still on par with goverments like Burma and Pakistan as far as democracy goes. The publis voted for a new constitution, more out of "Lets get over this" mood than anything else. General Sonthi the coup leader as resigned as army cheif. You can bet your bottom dollar he'll run in the elections when ever they are.
Thailand kept its head down when there was all the unrest in Burma. Hoping not to draw anyones attention to the fact Thailand is a military dictatorship.
The King who celebrates his 80th birthday later this year as been very unwell, hopefully he gets well soon and leads the country in celebrations.
The most important thing though, is the success of Man City. Thaksin's master stroke of taking over a premiership side is a stroke of genius. The Thai courts want him back in the country. They need to be careful, they may get what they wish for.
From the expats i've spoke to, the dollar exchange rate is hitting hard, not so many vistors from the states. The pubs are still go going and a slight relaxation of the closing times. I'm looking forward to getting back over in feb/march next year.
