It's only "natural" then to put Phuket under the Internal Security Act - a product of the 2006 military junta - for two weeks, while Asean foreign ministers meet later this month. Never mind what local tourism operators think or feel.

A crucial question to be asked is: What constitutes a bona fide role for the military? And what does not? The line seems to be increasingly blurred in today's Thailand.

Equally disturbing about these extra-curricular activities of the military is that nobody seems to care about its ever-increasing role in Thai society.
