October 8, 200619 yr (From New York Times, Oct. 8, 2006) IT was another Tuesday night at the Londoner, a popular Bangkok pub where expatriates, tourists and Thai regulars were, as usual, bellying up to the bar, downing pints and chatting amid a dense haze of smoke. Outside, the rain was falling; inside the topic of conversation was the military coup that had overthrown Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra the week before.
