The British Foreign Office confirmed that Thai Prime Minister Thaksin
Shinawatra was expected in London later on Wednesday.
Thailand's Army Commander, General Sonthi Boonyaratglin, announced on Tuesday
night that he had established a Reform Council to take over the Thaksin-led
administration of the country.
A nationwide state of Martial law has been declared.
Gen. Sonthi told a news conference in Bangkok that a new prime minister would
be named within two weeks, and new elections would take place in a year's time,
once a new constitution had been written.
British Foreign Office also issued a travel advisory on Wednesday, to British
visitors traveling in Thailand, to keep in touch with the British Embassy in
Bangkok, and to avoid any demonstrations there.
