Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra has declared a state of emergency in Bangkok amid rumours of a state coup.
"I declare Bangkok under a severe state of emergency," he said on television. He is currently at the UN in New York.

The measure came after tanks took up position around the Thai government headquarters in Bangkok, where they blocked traffic.

An army-owned TV station is showing images of the royal family and songs linked in the past with military coups.

Mr Thaksin announced he had removed the chief of the army, Thai television reported.

The prime minister ordered troops not to "move illegally", Reuters quoted him as saying in a voice broadcast on Thai television.

i met a guy once that was this gay artist from nice france. he got busted in bangkock and spent something between 2-4 years in jail for heroin. his mom sent him $500 a month (this was in the 80s). he said he had a house boy to do all his cleaning and whatever else he wanted . he said it was 2-4 of the best most enjoyable years of his life.
