How Thailand’s military establishment maintains its grip on power

Following a surprise victory at the polls a year ago, the progressive Move Forward party and its leader, Pita Limjaroenrat, now face the ire of the military establishment. With attempts to charge Pita with treason and dissolve his party currently beginning in the Thai Constitutional Court, could this prove a fatal setback to efforts to establish real democracy in Thailand?

The irony of the law in Thailand is the fact that you would spend years in prison by simply expressing a mild criticism about the king, but murderers would be released in less than 6 years. The military and the king have supreme power. Many Thai who fled to Laos also were hunted down. No one can say anything about the king.

Before the election, the Moveforward Party received the approval from the election commission to run a campaign regarding the revision of 112 because the current 112 law allows anyone to misuse or use unfairly by simply accusation to eliminate the political opposition without any facts or evidence. Why then has the election commission asked the constitutional court to dissolve the Moveforward Party? What responsibility does the election commission have. When it went back on their own approval? The election commission is supposed to know the law of election and is responsible for over seeing the process.

Exactly, if the dissolution actually come through then the election commission will have absolutely violated article 157 as it's their duty to approve such campaign in the first place. But sadly, the constitutional court is just another tool by the name of the law and not a fair judge like it should be, we can only hope at this point.

They were the ones that contributed to military coups. Change will come. You can’t stop the clock from moving forward!

The Progressive party vowed to support the rule of Thailand by politicians alone with no other powers to balance. Looking from the past experience of Thai politics this will be a disaster. It is too naive to think that politicians will ever be clean, not playing favoritism, nor holding grip on power.

It may seem to the outsider that Thailand has no hope, but there are positive changes have been implemented. Any change take some time and may be gradual; especially, the change that deals cultural or laws. Thailand is still a great country with kind and generous people and easy going personalities that tolerate and accept others with different backgrounds. The problem right now is Thailand has a group of bad foreign from China and Russia come live in Thailand while committed crimes between Burma, Cambodia, Taiwan, China, Laos.

It is also in the DNA of many people that when they come to power and money that they change their attitudes or values as well.
