Or at least that’s what we’re being assured by the government.

I am in awe at how incompetent our police and soldiers and law enforcers are. I mean I have always known they are useless to some extend, but really to have your fire trucks, public buses and army tanks climbed on and hijacked so easily, how can we ever feel safe in this city?

Two days ago we were out shopping at Tha Prachan when I was told the tanks were coming to the area and that state of emergency was declared. And I tell you we were just on the Chor Por Ror and Phitsanulok just at most 30 minutes before it all started but somehow all the way back into the city we found these roads all blocked and flocked with our nation’s finest rednecks.

To be able to block such big roads is such little time is amazing. What did the cops do, just watched? What did the soldiers do when they started climbing the tanks, just watched?

Amazing Thailand really, I am impressed by how awfully incompetent this whole nation is.

OK, thanks to Marky who finally made those soldiers do their job, I’m glad it all worked out with no casualties–at least not by the hands of the government’s side.

And really do you really believe they were for real when they “surrendered”. Come on, don’t let this stupidity drag on.

It’s come to the point that I wonder why Thaksin is still alive. His daughter is on Facebook, along with hundreds, even thousands, of other twenty-something Bangkokians whom her dad pissed off this week, I am sure he’s not that hard to find, especially when she keeps updating her status about what she’s doing and where, and at times complete with pictures of herself and daddy.

One other thing that pissed me off. Where the fuck was the PAD? You guys were all balls when it was your turn, closing down airports and things, but when your enemies were out torching buses, where were you? Watching the whole ordeal in the comfort of your Hua Hin resort homes?

This country pisses me off each day I grow older.
