Thailands fall from grace

Seems like military coups are the order of the day with Thailand being the latest country to have a coup. This seems to be the last straw in a saga of political upheaval and uncertainty that has rocked the country ever since the controversial snap pools held by Thaksin Shinawatra. Its a shame that one man's selfishness and greed has caused collective national grief. Thailand was one of the high performers in the Asean region with robust GDP growth powered by exports and tourism. I sincerely hope that everything returns to normal as it is important for the Asean regional stability and growth.
