Forums > Living in Kunming > Thai Military Coup This is OLD news - As old as the repetitive food threads on GK.
The coup follows months of political turmoil in Thailand.
The army has staged at least 11 coups since the end of the absolute monarchy in 1932.
The latest unrest began in the Thai capital late last year, when then-Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra dissolved the lower house of parliament.
Thailand has faced a power struggle since Ms Yingluck's brother, Thaksin Shinawatra, was ousted by the military as prime minister in 2006.

Forums > Food & Drink > The Spicy Food Thread People who eat spicy food complain about upset stomach, blisters in their mouth, or acne from eating too much spicy. They remind me of alcoholics who swear they will not drink again after a bad hangover. 2 days later, they are at it again shoveling the nasty red concoction back into their ruminating receptacles.

Learning the art of the crossbow in Yunnan
发布者I have the name, phone and address of a Lisu crossbow maker in Liuku. The crossbows pictured above are all short, the man I met makes the long crossbows. If interested, let me know and I will pass on the info needed to contact him. He sells bows, arrows, quivers and has a collection of exotic animals he hunted and killed in Burma.
