Thailand’s army chief urged the public not to believe rumors of a possible coup, saying the movement of military hardware into Bangkok was for an annual parade and not to oust Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra.
“People are scared of something that hasn’t taken place yet,” Army Chief Prayuth Chan-Ocha told reporters in Bangkok yesterday. “Don’t be scared if you can’t see it. Everything must happen for a reason,” he said, before adding, “without a reason, nothing will happen.”
