One and the same. Odd that it is called Thailand, as it was one of the few Asian countries not taken over by Europeans.

An Asian article that is actually getting some freeper traffic.
You shouldn't cast aspersions on us when you're so new here. I'd ask you to demonstrate your implication that there's some problem between freepers (a large group of people) and "Asian things", but I know you can't demonstrate any such history.

You know, not everything can be traced to Islam.

When the United States liberated Iraq, they should have stopped the media, too, and instituted a lot of propaganda.

Very interesting that there were no attacks in the south of Thailand last night. The south is very anti-Toxin. The end of the problems in the south might be a nice side effect of the coup.

It was not an insult. Look at the various articles posted about Asian things. They consistently have MUCH less views and posts than articles about Europe, Israel, southwestern Asia (Middle East), and obviously the United States (for that one, as it should be). It is not asperations, it is statistics.

It seems that the military has taken over and are in charge, not Parliament.

Why is that odd?
It's the English translation of the nations actual Thai language name.

Then it isn't offensive, but is still odd. How often is it that a country's name gets properly translated into English (i.e. Nippon, Japan; Italy, Italia; etc.)?

Actually if it was correct translation of the Thai name, it would be "Land of Freedom", not "Thailand". The Thai name of the country is "Prathet Thai". Prathet means country, Thai means free. The country's name was officially changed to "Prathet Thai", or Thailand, in 1949 to reflect its status as the only country in SEA that was never colonized.

Thai military can do something about the Muslim insurgencyThey sure as hell are going to try. IMHO, it's the main reason they dumped the PM. The Muslim hordes in Indonesia and the Phillipines are not above supporting their fellow jihadist and greasing corrupt politicians.

The end of the problems in the south might be a nice side effect of the coup. Any such lull will be temporary. To think so is to disregard their real motive. They are islamonazis and really do hate everyone else.
These same groups were causing the same type of trouble back in the 60's.
Then though they were using the cover term "communists" in trying to convince the world they were more wide spread than they were.
They also were trying to garner support from the real commies infiltrating upcountry.
That was a blunder on their part as Thanom didn't like commies much.
The few bombings against us which they falsely claimed, occurred in BKK bars mostly along the Petchburi Rd R&R strip.
In every case the investigation found the real attackers were Thai boyfriends of some bargirl, who didn't like losing her to us.

With them out of the picture, they have lost one of their major talking points. I don't care so much about the hardcore guys, I care about those they are able to convert. This will make it more difficult for them.

When translating it is not incorrect to change the word order to conform to the usage of the language into which it is being translated.
Prathet (country/nation/land) Thai (free/independent people) would become Thailand in English and Thailande in Frog.
