Is any government any better ? Eg UK, Tory or labour it's the same professional politicians with their nose in the trough, just a different way of scoffing the food. As a Thai taxi driver said to me recently, "the problem with Thailand is that we have no problems, so we have to make our own problems"

Floating anarchy

What a doozy this character is, just means the military will run the country once more.

Many might say that they still do in the background with the constant threat of a coup if government doesn't perform.

Personally my best times here were in the 80s when Prem ruled. But I'm not Thai and have no say/vote in the matter. Hopefully they will someday work out what is best for them.

Some governments are certainly less necessary than others

... and some are just toxic to their people. Yes, I'm talking about you, PTP government.

The problem in Thailand is not so much government it is more a question of governance. Yes it is good where there is government but government need to operated within the principles of governance to be a real democracy,

From the UN mission to Timore but I think that it is very applicable to Thailand at this time:

"What is democratic Governance?

The culture of a democratic governance moves beyond the mere procedures of democracy and the establishment of democratic institutions. It involves promoting the sustainability of democracy which includes an enduring capacity for: the separation of powers and independence of the branches of government; the exercise of power in accordance with the rule of law; the respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms; and, the transparency and accountability of a responsible civil service, functioning at both the national and local levels.

A state which identifies with the culture of democratic governance is one which welcomes a wide scope of political participation embracing a pluralistic system of political parties, a vibrant civil society and media. Further, strong democratic institutions promote and integrate women and minorities in all levels of the Government and society as a whole. Also, a state which embodies the culture of democratic governance is one which protects the rights and dignity of children. Therefore, the promotion of the culture of democratic governance involves an integrated approach to sustainable governance for and by all the people of Timor-Leste."

Journalism here in Thailand really is abissmal.....!!

This person doesn't have the intelligence level to understand what he/she is writing......very dissapointing really...and being an English site, tries to get the reading public down to his level.....

Anyway......military rule or dictatorship come to mind to start with......

Sorry you didn't understand the article. try again. It's worthwhile reading and considering.

Great! I've long had a sneaking suspicion that anarchy would be the best. It worked in Spain in the forties. Where government is largely ineffective in places like Thailand and Cambodia it could well prove to be the best option!
