The supreme commander of Thailand has once again denied any coup roomers. He said it is only the media and he has heard nothing among the military.

He said that maybe the military would step in if the land went into chaos and have violent street protests.

Last time the military took over they blamed the PM and said he was about to attack the protesters with guns and they stepped in.

It is a known fact that the people behind the last coup is not happy with the current government trying to change back everything to the way it was before the coup.

In the mean time the puppet government that PM with his PPP is crying over the invisible hand that trying to make problem.

Both military generals and former PM Thaksin says people should not believe the rumors about coups. It is to very famous fortune tellers that have predicted that a bloody coup is eminent. The first ironic thing is that Thaksin loves to go to fortunes tellers and he even goes to Burma to find out the future. The second thing is that the military also denied and last coup rumors and look where we ended up.

A Thai prosecutor says they want to arrest the former PM of Thailand if he wants to come back. Since the PPP claimed victory in the Thai election the former PM of Thailand have announced that he might want to come back to valentine day. His lawyer says that if he got arrested he things that the court will put bail and release his client.

The PPP party wants to give amnesty to all TRT members and want the former regime to come back and rule as before.

The military have told the press that they are staying out of politics this time but you never know what’s going to happen. More then one fortune teller has predicted that the new government will fall sooner then the last one.

It’s going to be a very Christmas in Thailand after all. No I am not joking there will be no alcohol serving from the 14 of December 2007.

The law is to stop prevoters to be pushed to vote for a party when they are drunk or when they are given alcohol as a bribe.

It is very common to bribe people in North Thailand during the election but the military is carefully watching all money transactions.
The answer is to give Viagra, telephone cards and alcohol instead, that’s why the new law came into place. The law is same for tourist no alcohol is allowed to be served nationwide between Friday 14th at 6pm until Sunday 16th at midnight.

Elections on the 23rd will mean no alcohol will be sold from 6pm on the 22nd till midnight on the 23rd of December.

How this will affect tourism is anybody’s guess but I guess some people will be angry when they want to have a drink by the pool bar.

Big hotels maybe not affected but please check with your favorite bar and disco what they are saying.
