Prime Thai, No Job Security

 Imagine if you were on a press trip and you heard your senior travel editor spot at your publication was not yours anymore. Magnify that by millions and that is how the Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra feels today. Worse is the fact that he is at the UN in NYC, hope his hotel doesn’t boot him if his country’s credit card declines. We have all been fired before but somehow I got a feeling that a bottle of “Jack” and listening to Daniel Powters, Had a Bad Day isn’t going to cut it!

Here is a clip from AOL News: “Sondhi, a Muslim in this Buddhist-dominated country, is known to be close to Thailand's revered monarch, King Bhumibol Adulyadej.
A senior army general, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation, said the armed forces chiefs were meeting with the king to discuss forming an interim government, suggesting it would probably be led by civilians.
As soldiers and armored vehicles moved through a drizzly Bangkok, an announcement from the military had earlier declared a provisional authority loyal to the king.
It declared that”Council of Administrative Reform" had seized power in Bangkok and nearby provinces without any resistance. It recognized the king as head of state” .
