One of the benefits of being part of a network of worldwide, city-focused, sites is that when something significant happens, either positive, negative, or something in between, there’s someone there to lend a local perspective and add to what you’re hearing from the mainstream media.

Today, it’s coverage of the coup in Thailand from Bangkok metbloggers Daniel and Bonafide, whose post yesterday foreshadowed today’s events.
