Hurry up and hold an election, may as well get your asses kicked sooner rather than later, let’s skip the street mobs this time around. TBH - we are all interested in seeing whether the next coup fails or succeeds. I personally think Thailand has already seen its last successful coup.

I doubt it, there will always be power hungry, money seeking generals out there. Nothing to do with the country's wellbeing !

 

On the bright side, next time there's a coup I'll fly the wife to the UK to claim asylum and beat the immigration financial requirements ! ????

Well I and my family here have been hoping to see change for a very long time now so that the oppressed and poor Thai people can finally work together to make Thailand good again,  so let's hope its a real change this time from the top down and not just a change of janitorial duties at the trough by a few army generals.

Not a chance, more regular than the Olympics.

Thailand has a history of coups, and history seems to repeat itself.

The consensus was that 20 degrees clockwise would see them safely land on their butts:

 

'Police Adjust Plan for Faster Response to Protest' meanwhile yesterday on the roads more than 30 people died through lack of policing. 30+ more will die tomorrow.

deploy the water cannons and helicopters much faster ....

Thailands history of coups is indeed a fact, however, there are significant societal differences in today’s Thailand that suggest the times are indeed a changing:

 

1. The Internet - universal access to uncensored information, both national and international as well as the ability for the individual to review and correct the historical record falsely constructed under a veil of repression and  censorship

 

2. Social Media - unfettered ability by all to communicate, coordinate and share real time information on encrypted messaging services

 

3. Globilsation - economic exposure to the whims of a faltering global financial system has never been so great. Globalisation has also magnified the impacts of what we’re previously mostly localised issues such as COVID and the war in Ukraine. Juntas aren’t equipped to navigate these choppy waters.

 

4. Lack of moral pillar for the conservative forces to rally around. Every prior coup has been justified by one reason and this reason no longer holds weight with the majority

 

4. Demographics - Thailand is young, an ever growing number of Thais have come of age in a time when state run

propaganda has been rendered useless

 

5. Positive Example - The average Thai has now seen what an elected government answerable to the people via democracy can mean to their quality of life. For all the expat drivel on forums such as this one accusing Thaksin of being the devil, the fact remains that the Thai people would unequivocally prefer an elected government over an unelected ultra nationalist conservative military oligarch-backed junta. This why denying democracy is the main priority of those who favour coups - the genie is, however, out of the bottle

 

Don’t get me wrong, there will certainly be future coup attempts… I just don’t believe they will succeed.

Perhaps the only thing that will end the cycle is swift and severe punishment for any and all participating in any attempted coup.

I think future coups will always persist in Thailand.

The military don't care about what the rest of the world thinks, the military certainly doesn't care what the majority of Thai citizens want.

The rest of the world will continue to trade with coup leaders, as we've seen with Prayut.

In fact they look at Thailand as having a bonafide government with an elected leader.

Internet/social media changes nothing... it reports what's happening.. but that's too late.

The average Thai is too lethargic to get out and protest, leaving it to the younger student generation who are easy targets for the military.

Emergency decrees and other laws are put into effect to stop mass gatherings.

Thailands political stability puts off large scale investment by many other countries, which denies it's populous access to real employment opportunities.

Which is part of the reason why the entertainment industry is so important to the nation.

It employs thousands of service girls and ladyboys who otherwise would be unemployed, catering to the sex industry to get by and attract tourism to help bolster an otherwise lackluster GDP.

The education system is government run so as to not educate the next generation, only to indoctrinate them into being worker ants and be subservient to the masters.

Many Thais have access to the internet to see what goes on in other countries, many now travel and try to reside overseas, should they return they have little chance of changing things here.

The military is just too strong, and men of influence will always reign supreme in Thailand.

Don't tell me they're going parachute into the crowd and justify their 'badges'?

There is no democratic country where the ruling wealthy elite are ever in danger of losing their position, no matter who wins the election.  Until Thailand "progresses" to this point, coups will always be a thing.

And or as history has shown, police dress as protesters to attack police to give cause for a police counter attack against the entire protest and arrest protest leadership.
