"The coup went largely unnoticed in Thailand's popular tourist districts, where foreigners packed bars and cabarets, oblivious to the activity about two miles away. But word raced among street vendors hawking T-shirts, who packed up their carts quickly and started heading home."

On a Drudge link I read that the general who is head of this military takeover is Muslim. Thailand had an earlier "bloodless coup" in 1991. Generals of Class 5.
