Col Winthai Suvaree and his military spokesman's team insist that comparisons with the Turkey coup only mislead people. Comparisons between the Thai military and Turkish one, which staged a failed coup attempt against president Recep Tayyip Erdogan last weekend, started to emerge as soon as the news from Turkey streamed in. Apparently, it does not look like the Thai army will go cold Turkey on the business of coup-making any time soon. Congratulate president Erdogan for foiling the coup attempt? The Thai coup is "unique'', the military regime argued.
