FILE - In this Sept. 20, 2006 file photo, a Thai gives a flower to a soldier on a tank near Government House in Bangkok, Thailand. The last time Thailand's army seized power, in 2006, some called it "the smiling coup." Residents of Bangkok who supported overthrow of an elected government they accused of corruption poured into the streets, handing out flowers to soldiers who had deployed tanks across this metropolis of glass skyscrapers and ornate Buddhist temples. It was bloodless, and for a time, it was calm. Last Thursday, May 22, 2014, Thailand's army seized power again, overthrowing a popularly elected administration that won a landslide vote three years earlier. But this time feels much different.
