Let's try getting a better sense of what the situation is like there on the streets of
Bangkok on the second day of martial law... and what lies ahead for the Southeast Asian
country...
For that, Paul Quaglia joins us live via Skype from Thailand.
Paul is the director at Bangkok-based risk assessment firm PQA Associates.
Paul Quaglia, thank you for joining us.
The first question that comes to mind is that... is this a coup d'etat?
We know that the military has been insisting it's not - that it's merely restoring "peace
and order for people from all sides" in the country's ongoing political crisis.
In
your view, what is it?
It's day two of martial law there...
what does martial law look like
in Thailand?
What's next
for Thailand?
What are the army's intentions?
Will we see an all-out election or the appointment
of a new government?
How is the Thai
economy faring amid this political unrest?
Is martial law the last straw for Thai investors?
Certainly
a situation that we need to keep a close eye on.
Paul, many thanks to you for speaking with us.
That was Paul Quaglia, director of PQA Associates live for us from Bangkok.
