Interesting to hear about the tighter controls over Thai media. I was browsing through broadcasts on the Intelsat 5 satellite last night, and two of the Thai channels were showing lots of video clips taken on the street that all appeared to show the happiness of the man-on-the-street that the coup had been a success (women handing flowers and food to soldiers, civilians hugging soldiers, etc).
