How can he end a 'political career' that never started? 

He never WAS a politician. He was a soldier in a suit, with only a soldier's ill-fitting mentality to apply to the role of leading a gov't of a nation who didn't elect him in a free & fair, unrigged election. An arrogant, incompetent man-child who deserves to be chronicled in any modern Thai historical record as exactly that, without a single thing of merit to mitigate that record.

If I didn't despise him so much I might even pity him for being the way he is/ was.

(And for all that......I fear he won't actually be out of the scene at all, anyway, not by a long shot)

The last 9 years was the best he could do?

And the "no shirts" don't forget them!

"Throughout the 9 yrs as PM I have done my best," 

 

I don't think he said it like that. Otherwise he would admit that he was acting PM for more than 8 years. And that would be a deliberate violation of the Constitution.

Yeah frankly I don't understand the fuss over him taking over at the time I thought it was the the right thing to do.

I don't really give a dam at my age but it seems to me there is so much divide in Thailand that so call democracy as such will never work.

To be fair to him, he has not spoken publicly against MFP since the election and seems to accept that the people have spoken and spoken against him. He had a good run in the spotlight and latterly on the global stage.

I think diplomats; from countries of influence and with capital to invest; have spelled out that any rebuttal of the democratic process he put in place will turn him and others in the hierarchy into pariahs on the global arena.

Thursday wìll be very interesting. It will either be a big step forward or backward.

Fair call.

I am not a big follower of the politics here.  What I read is he did a poor job, and most people dislike him and want him out.  I guess he got rich over the past 9 years maybe he is a bad guy.

 

I am just making an observation, I have seen a lot of improvements over the past 10 years especially infrastructure.  Just about every major province has had ongoing infrastructure improvements.   And, small things like trash pick up have improved quite a bit. I have no idea what his involvement has been in any of this, but I have not seen the entire country going to H under his administration. It certainly is much better then a place like the Philippines which is such a decaying filthy hole.  I sure hope the new government has some great ideas to make things even better.

Thanks I noticed improvements over his years, I think some Thai people think money should just be given to them instead of being spend on roads.

That said 3 brother in-laws were getting 1000 a month for doing nowt they didn't while the red and yellow shirts were pouncing about.
