Within the last few minutes we've been hearing that the army-owned television station in Thailand has suspended its regular programming and is broadcasting images of the royal family and songs which correspondents say have been associated in the past with military coups. The Reuters news agency says tanks have been seen around the government headquarters in Bangkok.
The Prime Minister, Thaksin Shinawatra, who is attending the UN General Assembly in New York, has declared a state of emergency.
If you're in Bangkok, or you have relatives there,what are you hearing?
We'll get you as many voices as we can from Thailand on the programme in just over an hour's time..
