Army with guns khao takiap
I went to khao takiap this morning, right to the end next to the golf course, to look if they had started work on The Sanctuary site yet and was amazed to see the army with guns there Does anyone know what it is all about. They were staked out like snipers with machine guns

Re: Army with guns khao takiap
Probably preparing for the upcoming elections...
Seriously though, just on the beach south of the golf course there is a line of (6 to 8 ) very nice beach villas that I've heard are for the sole use of high ranking army officers and visiting dignitaries so I suspect someone important is staying in one of them.

My brain is like an Internet browser; 12 tabs are open and 5 of them are not responding, there's a GIF playing in an endless loop,... and where is that annoying music coming from?

The Army? With guns? Outrageous! Whatever next....?
Armies do tend to do drill / practice sometimes, and the golf course is on their land. Or as HH suggests, 'brass' in town.

Read the papers....the peaceful elections are not that peaceful
could well be a security checkpoint thing..... no cause to worry at all bro
Its when you see lines of tanks you get worried.

Re: Army with guns khao takiap
Well for the tourists and visitors to Hua Hin, it must look a bit weird, a road full of armed snipers Just the sort of image you want for a day on the beach Khao Takiap twinned with Huntington Beach, very relaxing

BANGKOK - United States Marines have finished training Thailand's military and police to use electroshock Tasers to inflict "intense pain", shoot a blinding neurotoxin spray and explode non-lethal grenades, one year after the Thai army unleashed snipers and armored personnel carriers against an anti-coup insurrection in Bangkok in which 91 people died.

We all share your sentiments but we all also know that the chances of this election going smoothly are nil to nothing.
There is more chance of myself being considered as a 'pearl of wisdom' on this forum than a smooth election.

If it's within arms reach, there's nothing to worry about!!
