Thailand's army declared martial law before dawn Tuesday in a surprise announcement it said was aimed at keeping the country stable after six months of sometimes violent political unrest.

Kind of interesting that they'd go as far as to declare martial law, even though "The military..denied a coup d'etat was underway.".

Quite a few developing countries experience civil unrest especially around their election period...so this shouldn't really be a surprise....

Apparently it is quite common there and they have had these protests for like 10 years between two factions, so its "not a big deal"
