On 11 days ago senior Thai journalists were called in for a briefing by the senior spokesman for the Royal Thai Police in which Lt-Gen Prawut specifically dismissed the notion of international terrorism, saying "Admitting it (was international terrorism) means the country has become a battlefield and a target. How could a tourist-destination country survive?" Clearly, Thailand has no intention of becoming the next Tunisia.
