Right now in Bangkok everyone is talking about the coup. The coup, THE coup, THE COUP!
Most of these conversations are taking place on social media since the army has taken control of all of the country’s TV news stations.

“When the gun bangs, the law is down,” – Asst. Prof. Somyod Chuathai of Thammasat University
“Can they broadcast the home that they keep those protest leaders like a reality show? I want to watch them 24 hours a day. I want to see them love each other, get in a fight, swim, eat, and watch TV.”
“Brothers, let’s get a drink to celebrate the coup.”
“You can do whatever you want, just don’t cut my internet.”
“Don’t forget to show us your selfies”
