I was a little surprised at first when I read that Thai coup leader General Sondhi was a Muslim, but it just goes to show how laid back the Thais are toward the Muslim and Chinese minorities, as well as everything else. A coup is just another thing to joke about, and a reason to take a short holiday. Happy Ramadan!
As Thaksin has crippled the independence of the media in recent years, blogs are probably the best way to get news of the coup. I visited a few earlier and can't find them again, but news can be found at Bangkok Pundit, MetBlogs, Global Voices, 2Bangkok, Thai Photoblogs, Austen Arensberg, and by just searching fLIckr.
