Thai military declares Wednesday holiday to announce "new policy"

BANGKOK: -- Coup leaders declared Wednesday a national holiday and called top civil servants and foreign diplomats to a meeting at military headquarters to update the situations.

The coup leaders declared Wednesday "a holiday for government, banks and the stock exchange in order to quickly restore law and order," according to a statement read on national television.

They told top civil servants, leaders of state enterprises, and university presidents around Bangkok to meet at military headquarters at 9am "to learn about the new policy," the statement said.

An informed source said Gen Sonthi Bunyaratglin, coup leader, has ordered to invite foreign diplomats to attend the meeting to update them about the current situations in the country.

I have heard, from a normally reliable source, that the family of Tuksin are under house arrest and under guard of both the Thai military and the Thai Royal Guard.

Has anyone else heard news of this?

[winner]

I bet you that Thaksin's family, and his money are out of Thailand by now. What do you think?

From the Nation:

PM's men detained, wife in Singapore

Many politicians and those with links to caretaker prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra were spread far and wide last night as the news of the coup broke in Bangkok.

First lady Pojaman reportedly flew to Singapore on Monday and it is not known whether Panthongtae, the family's only son, followed his mother last night.

The whereabouts of the PM's daughters Paethongtae and Pinthongta were not known.

Thaksin is in New York at a hotel, where he has reportedly been watching the United Nations General Assembly and keeping abreast of developments here.

Many Cabinet members and other people deemed hostile by the "Council of Administrative Reform" have been detained. Deputy Prime Minister Chidchai Vanasatidya and Supreme Commander Ruengroj Mahasaranont and pro-Thaksin television host Dusit Siriwan are among them.

Head of the Mass Communications Organisation of Thailand Mingkwan Saengsuwan was apprehended by anti-Thaksin troops at Channel 9 compound after it aired a statement of Thaksin, from New York, announcing a state of emergency and relieving Armycommander Sonthi Boonyaratglin from his post.

Deputy Thai Rak Thai leader and caretaker Agriculture Minister Sudarat Keyuraphan reportedly flew to Paris with her family.

Defence Minister General Thamarak Isarangura na Ayutthaya reportedly escaped arrest narrowly and has fled upcountry.

PM's secretary-general Prommin Lertsuridej reportedly made an unplanned landing in the Phillippines during a trip abroad while Bank of Thailand governor MR Pridiyathorn Devekula was in Singapore.

Deputy Thai Rak Thai Party leader Somsak Thepsuthin said he was shocked by last night's coup and never thought it could really happen. A number of TRT MPs may meet today at the party headquarters.

They left with him on his current tour.
Word is, they left with a LOT of bags.
May have been tipped off, but hoping they could avoid it.

yA'oH Any clue where this baggage is??? I'm currently in NYC filming BS compared to finding 'THE TAX/SIN's' luggage

[ronw]

As I said on another topic...."the ship is not sinking,but the rats have left"
Toxin knew this was coming....and had prepared his bolt hole a long time ago!
Greedy he may be...but stupid he aint.

[Supermu]

Thaksin released the message that he would return to Bangkok on Thursday, one day earlier than programmed!!!

Do you believe it ??? He surely will never see his buitiful new airport in Bangkok under operation, I am sure of it!!

[Sing_Sling]

We don't want them in Singapore - please take him and his family back.

No big surprise, Thaksin has been lining his pockets and putting the country second to his own interests for too long.

[logbags]

Thaksin has done the dash. No doubt anything he had of value went with him. Family secured in Singapore, money safely stashed.

2 years in exile then back to Thailand to live in luxury.

Meanwhile the next bunch of crooks is waiting in the wings for their turn at the trough...........

Thailand stumbles on like before

[ThaiPauly]

Word has it through the Thai side of my family that all Toxin's family's heirlooms/Jewlery/Gold etc, have left the country in 60 suitcases, even though when screening the baggage this was noticed, Customs officers were instructed to let it go through.

Thats a lot of "excess baggage"...I wonder if they paid for it?

Must have taken quite a while to pack 60 suitcases.

I think the "Holiday" is a little more widespread, my daughter's school is closed, and also my place of work is surrounded by soldiers and no one is allowed entry to the building

Just like that of the army generals who call themselves democratic, also their money is outside the country and they also have amassed great wealth from a meager salary WAKE UP! Do not support people who have total disreard for democcratic institutions themselves

I heard the same news recently, first a few weeks ago when Pojaman went abroad and again when Thaksin left last week.
Aresenal, you sound a little upset at losing the great leader?
