How many has it been since 1932? 11? With a few unsuccessful ones thrown in as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do actually have to get out of camp to move to training areas. Never a dull moment for the tinfoil hat brigade though is there? Also- they are not 'TANKS' they are BTR-3 Ukrainian designed Armoured Personnel Carriers. it makes sense for them to be on the road in that area as there are a number of military training areas around Lop Buri. You seem to know far too much about this coup training and the vehicles involved. Please, tell us more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you are coming out of effectively martial law into elections - I would expect that the military would take care NOT to schedule things that could "be misunderstood" (assuming that is all that it is). The fact is that the current military leadership has proven again and again that what it says is not worth the paper it is written on. This by itself shows a lack of honour... and you cannot trust people that are not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chainarong Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Well someone lied for six weeks the last time there was a coup, why can't they do it again , highly improbable but never the less, Thai military can't be trusted and neither can section 44.

Perceived coup. Fake section 44 dismissing all active military commanders. Meeting of military commanders. Juggle the sequencing and maybe the truth is somewhere there.

I am sure they have learned their lesson and will announce it at least one week in advance to allow citizens to prepare before they're once again attempting to "bring back happiness to the people".

They do actually have to get out of camp to move to training areas. I lived in downtown Washington DC for the last 22 years before coming to Thailand in 2011. I had never seen any sort of military vehicle on the road - ever - until the day after 9/11. Walking to work that day, I saw a vehicle parked on the corner of the intersection at Northwest 13th and K Street. It had some sort of automatic, belt-fed machine gun mounted to the back, manned by a single soldier. I stopped cold in my tracks, and all sorts of crazy thoughts went through my mind. What's he looking for? Can I cross the street? Will he shoot me if I get too close? This was so totally outside of my experience, I literally had no idea what to do. In countries that don't use their military to suppress their own citizens, it's entirely possible that people might go their whole lives without seeing such things.
