THE Thai army has seized control of Bangkok without a shot being fired and dismissed absent Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra while promising to eventually hold elections.

Its a bit more serious than the continual fighting/disputes around Hat Yai area, the south of Thailand!

Time will tell if the streets remain peaceful, but tanks travelling along the roads sounds a bit scary.
