Could not disagree more and it hurts me to do it. Prayuth and his cronies in reality did a better job than PT. First we had a snake oil salesman for PM, and then a puppet for Taksin with no real brains. The only thing PT does for the country is try and make more money for Taksin and family. Hun Sen is going to expose what is really going on with this family soon. It pains me to give any credit to the military Junta, but I believe they did more for the country than PT.  

One word: democracy.

 

One achievement - the universal health coverage (30 baht scheme).

 

Both flawed here, but neither would have stood a chance if the military and their cronies had been running the shop.

 

Thailand will only move forward under democracy, and even a flawed democratic government is infinitely better than a Junta government.

Protest for what?

No mention about the reason for it!

 

 

Generally anti-government (Shinawatra/PTP)  - jingoism/nationalism protest related to the Cambodian kerfuffle, and the general economic malaise.

Is the police doing the same and not use chemicals, unneccessary force, etc to keep control??? 

 

Not likely.
