Default Thailand Coup. . ARF deliveryproblems?

Given that a few ARF companies have their factories in Thailand. . just wondering if there will be any production or delivery problems due to the recent Coup by the Military and King.

That is their normal form of government. There should be no problems.

Default Re: Thailand Coup. . ARF deliveryproblems?

Having spent a lot of time in Thailand I can only imagine the national pride will soar. The king and royal family are revered like none other. I went to a movie in Thailand and they show a clip of the king (walking around, meeting diplomats, etc...) before every movie. People just stand silently. Also, it's against the law in Thailand to deface their currency because it has the king's face on it. I imagine it's perceived as good for the country by its citizens, but that's just my take and my take alone.
