Military In Politics: Thailand | Insight | Full Episode
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 มี.ค. 2021
- Since the 1932 revolution which ended 150 years of absolute monarchy in Thailand, the kingdom has had 13 successful military coups and 11 attempted coups. In other words, the military has proven itself to be a constant threat to civilian rule and democracy, ready to grab power when the opportunity avails itself.
But its intervention in the nation’s politics has generated a lot of resentment and resistance from Thai citizens who want the military to stay out of politics for good. To prevent that from happening, the military has drafted a new constitution which gives the institution a permanent role in politics.
To what extent can the people accept the new political framework? Will the military’s permanent presence in politics bring about greater stability, progress and developments to Thailand? Or will it lead to a continued turmoil and further deepen authoritarian rule in the country?

Bless the brave people of Thailand. May you have the justice the you deserve!
Here in Indonesia in 1998, we revolted so hard that our military dictator Suharto (most corrupt president in the world) forced to resigned. The reformation was not smooth but it lead to a stable democracy. I hope our cousins in Thailand and Myanmar will be able to resolve their problem with the military dictatorship as well.
Reformation that is not smooth & a stable democracy is a HUGE understatement that is a LIE. 1000 citizens were massacred & 500 burnt to death. Suharto himself was never charged & his children still enjoy the fruits of the stolen money. And many w blood on their hands is in power w/in gov today..
Reformation 98 led to only superficial chg, just enough to trick many of indoctrinated & uneducated masses. True reformist such as Gus Dur & Ahok are ousted from politics. And Indonesia's Corruption Index showed no chg in 30yrs. In fact Thailand economically is doing much better..
1998 revolution start from asian financial crisis that began in Thailand. Then Suharto was replaced by his VP Bj habibie, Abdurahman wahid, Megawati (all non-militar person). The democratic election only began in 2004 election, still military person in charge, SB Yudoyono.
Did Suharto get assassinated?

I love documentaries that show both sides of a situation
The Chinese are the enemy. Has anyone got a problem with that.
As a thai I can say that this is a pretty good overview of the overall situation
However, there's an important part that documentary touched upon a little but didn't delve much into. The monarchy had always influenced politic through the military, it's just that lese majeste law prevent people from discussing it publicly. When you hear people talk about "institution", it's a fair bet that this is what they mean. They are the one who make the call whether to allow a coup or not, and it's a mutalism relationship. The military can do anything and say that they are protecting the monarchy, protecting the traditional thai culture, while monarchy get the military into power to get rid of anyone unfavorable to monarchy or "too popular".
But the situation is changing, the majestic image of monarchy is in now in tatters after recent throne succession when that bumbling idiot took over and didn't even have the decency to keep up appearance. You can see this in the turnout of royalist supporter which is a husk of its former self, people are also less afraid to criticise him now. The rest is just waiting for the legacy of the old king to peters off. After that it would be citizen vs military which might not end well imo.
who know what the future will bring, I do hope for the best though.
Ew Thai
Hope so too, the videos of the Thai king actually brought me here. Different continents different fucked up problems
Another thai brainwashed by democracy propaganda.
as a chinese ,i have just sarted to know the political history of thailand. It seems thail dont have a truly democratic political system, neither do we in china. Of course , for people to split more of the cake of the country from the dictators is hard. There seems to have similar evil unkind ruling politics around the world. The people is alway sad weak while the powerful rulers are doing evil things. I just want to wish the good people good luck to achieve real democracy.
it's sad what has happened to most of SE Asia. Great people, crappy and corrupt governments
The crappy and corrupt government existed because of crappy population are in majority especially the thai. I'm still remember one study to these day that majority of thai peoples are okay with corruption as long as they also get the share from it. So long they are get thier share they will turn blind eyes anything they do
@@inquisitorsteele8397 that statement is partially true when politicians gives money to people to choose them in the elections, however, most of post 2000s might just "accept the money" and choose the opponent instead.
Well... my mom also accepted these bribes before local elections... she said it is her obligation to choose the one she received money from. How sad.
@@nattapongkaewthanom4591 That's how patronage system work. Local politicians act like a patron and occasion hold party or event for thier supporter to give them some "gift" to ensure thier popularity and support among the locals.
...Hunter.
@@inquisitorsteele8397 would love to see this "study". people online always study from this study from that but never provide links. Did some thai gf that you paid for hurt you ???
thank you CNA; Really appreciate it.
Fun facts : NACC has declared that corruption has tremendously increased since the coup. I thought the coup was supposed to eliminate corruption, isn't it?
And the coup supporters are still blindly praise the dictator. I guess they dont want to be proven wrong...
You thought wrong. 'Military coup' in Asia is always about get rid of corrupted government that fail to get pre- approval from military before practiced corruption. 🤭
Very well made documentary. Although not flawless (who is), the best I have seen so far about this topic. High quality!
Thanks.very informative
Help Thailand and Myanmar! Free us from Military Dictatorship! III
@Alfred Wang
Is your name sake that rule and corrupt!
I don't think anyone should interfere in our politics . It's not because its military "dictatorship". Don't think that that US or UK will help us, they want to control our resources and and set up a puppet government or kill anyone and fix real leaders as "dictator". History repeats itself and you shouldn't repeat it because it will cause same problem as Libya , Afghanistan etc from U.S. "saving"
@@ericdeniz5413 the US will never save Thailand you don't have oil
According to the Credit Suisse report, the bottom 10% of Thais hold 0% of the wealth, being either in debt or having no documented household income. The poorest 50% of Thais now hold only 1.7% of the country’s wealth, while the richest 10% now hold a massive 85.7%.
It’s working great for some people in Thailand. Not many though.
That is not a clear indication of the real situation.Thais largely have themselves to be blamed for their debts and the poor will remain poor if they do not strive for a better life.The poor cannot choose the easy way out and just simply blame the rich for their own problems and this applies to all humans beings not just in Thailand.
@@gala1684 right, eat the poor. Guess it works out for you & yours. When does it get too much? The richest 10% holding 99% of the country’s wealth is not enough.
@@danielchong1086 you have to make your own wealth.The rich worked hard for it and you cannot expect them to just share it with the poor who are lazy of coz there will be small groups who are exploited but instead of complaining why don't they think of ways to help themselves.
Thailand inequality is wider and wider. Apart the numbers you mentioned here, all statistics for thailand are falling below its peers. FDI number is much far behind country in SEA. So 😥 to see this country contracts YoY.
Thailand very unstable for the next 3-5 years, easy.
ありがとうございます!
Can you translate as english,please? I want to know what are you talking about.
@@Iron_marshal it just says, "thank you very much ". Arigatou gozaimasu
Great video
What I like about Thailand is, I have been there 5 times from 1989 - now, each time during a coup. And everytime, you wouldn't know it. Life goes on the same. Everyone is left alone. At least from a tourist point of view.
Agreed. When I was there in 2018, it was easy to forget a military general was running the country.
Represive
Thailand slides into abysmal deterioration worse than the year Thaksin fled. One person assimilates country’s wealth and created the biggest ravine between the privileged and the poor. I have my sympathy for fellow Thai people, and may this mayhem end soon.
Really my family and many friends feel normal. They have still lived and worked freedomly since no big protesting like 7 or 8 years ago. Perhap some groups have disadvantaged thier benefits and power from this gov. and have tried hard to destroy them.
So I had booked a flight to Thailand, on April 3th ... and when I wanted to board I got refused ... I am banned for life ... of course I had paid the hotel, the tests and I had a COE ... why I am banned I do not know ... I asked the Embassy in Brussels and a few of my friends asked this too ... but no reply ... now one month later I will just try to get a refund from the Quarantine hotel and the flight because this is pointless ... I contacted the Immigration Division by email and they told me to visit them personally in Bangkok, which is impossible, because I can never get there ... anyway ... I think Thai people are making fun of me ... that they enjoy destroying me totally ... all this stuff is not normal ...
@@TaraVanhonacker by now I believe you must be accustomed to their prolific game of taunting.
@@marsilladewibaruch7097 i never will ... I have had enough suffering ... I feel like a rabbit ... an experiment ... the only way to stop that experiment is if I leave the experiment ... and that is what have asked for in Belgium ... they do not care ... totally indifferent ... so they will give me euthanasia ... I am at peace ... I have been homeless now in Belgium for 5 years ... no medical care, no social care ... my guess is Belgian people get their money from the 4 Thai criminals that stole all I had ... clothes, shoes, money (5,000,000THB) ... Belgian people are being sponsored by those criminals to try to kill me even more ... they screamed at me ... "when you get stolen from and tortured, you do not expect us to help you" ... to help them I will get euthanasia ... then they certainly will not ever hear my prayers for their help after what was done to me in Thailand ... they will have quiet ... forever ...
Don't think we have crappy government. I've been living with military rule all my life and lived happily with them. The problem why the military coup took place is that most of the government before coups were puppet US government and Western imperialism. The reason why military arrest people is because they destroy the city and vandalize and threaten innocent people to join their movement (protesters). In Myanmar now the reason the coup was taken is because of corruption. 1. They disrespect the nation's religion (Buddhist) 80% majority by vandalising with signs near Buddha's neck and steal gold from Buddhist temples (NLD). 2. They want peace but they use violence (protesters,NLD) protesters vodka bomb innocent people's house because of we didn't join their movements and one of my neighbor's house was vodka bombed because we didn't join their movemt. 3. Protesters are killing citizens by "dalan" in suspect that the citizens who were killed were "informing" the police because the protesters threaten them , 100+ household were killed by protesters but in reality the dead people didn't inform any police or anything. It was just for revenge and taking lives of real innocent people. Last week 4 Teachers were raped by rohingyas terrorist group because they(teachers) were doing their job and not following the protesters idealogy . They cut off those Teachers head off after. They say they are "democracy" but they are killing innocent citizens so what is real democracy? This looks more like Nazism than democracy. The reason why rohingyas terrorist were killed is not because of racism , it is because they were taking over arakan region by murdering innocent arakan Buddhists by using Muslim extremist rights. They destroyed Buddhist houses and cutt off their head. I had to watch this on tv LIVE. Now these rohingyas terrorist are led by an ex-al Queda terrorist member ( you can look it up) . Even an ex-member of Al-Queda terrorist admitted that they were funding s.e.a terrorist muslim extremist groups. The "leader" of arakan rohingyas terrorist have brutally murdered people and tortured more than the military in Myanmar. 1.Burying people alive and then dig up when they have almost no skin or anything left 2.using murderous tortures to people who join this group to get away from military : standing on a person's neck, putting sticks up in people's ass(not joking) 3. Raping and murdering citizens that aren't Muslim extremist. Please asian brothers, we need military. They may do bad things but there are far more bad people and I want to tell you something : PLEASE DONT LISTEN TO WESTERN POLITICS , PLEASE DONT MESS IN OTHER COUNTRIES BUSINESS YOU WESTERNERS, mind your own goddamn country before judging others. Asians please don't fight against each other and just protect your country from these terrorist and western politians trying to intervene in our problems.
Even now people of Thailand are still fighting to get rid of these armed thugs from politics.
Wish us luck.
Best of luck! You deserve a democratic government. Thanathorn would make a fine candidate I believe.
O9p
Most of Thai people still feel normal situation, can live can work freedomly except some group who wants to get high power and loosing benefits from the current gov. and mornachy system. Some news just bias trying to discredit Thailand and its gov.
What we are more afraid of is they did coup themselves like 6th October 1976 over again. This why many tried to avoid joining the group. and here is why we need the CIA to intervene in this situation somehow. to prevent a recoup happened again.
Truth! And we will keep fighting.
It’s a decent explanation for the background of the whole subject.
But it’s a lot deeper than you think
Dawn Tan, you are good.
Thank you all at CNA Insider who worked to create this video.

Hmmmm...
I'm curious are prime ministers in charge of both the military and the police? To me that makes for absolute power!
wait for the kim-die-nasty brand of people's democratic republic
& you will understand ''absolute''.
I am not particularly fond of militaristic rule, but it's still preferable to totalitarianism.
Prime minister is not in charge of military. That’s the responsibility of army chief.
@@worawatsr9803 he's not in charge of military?
@@m.asquino7403 He's not but he basically installed military leadership in congress all around him and he's very close to them all. It's a hybrid democracy, which I think is a nice way to say fake democracy.
38.09 Mr.Paiboon who didn’t really speak. Now, Mr.Prayut still uses the house located in the military camp.
The battle of The Red shirts and The Yellow shirts is about The Haves and The Have Nots. One side has and doesn't want to give any of it to the other side. Political and Economic Corruption is highly prevalent in Thailand.
Seems as though that is Where it is Heading
Thai Military still control of government in nowadays. Good luck for Thai people's from Indonesia.
I think Indonesia is worst
Wonder where is thaksin now.. i missed his thaksin thai boat noodles at harbour front
Its definitely bring stability but its costly. Like really expensive cost. Good luck Thailand. ~Neighbor
Thank you for making this documentary, but I have to say that it is too short and oversimplified. If you want to make the video about History of Thai Military and Politics, History about Thai Politics, it can be made into at least 5 episodes. There are many books written about this topic but mostly in Thai. I would like to write more information about the topic in the comment section, but it will be too long. I just want to recommend you. Thank you for many videos about Thailand.
where can I get more info about this in english?
I had opportunities to visit Thailand in '79;'80;'82 & '84. Those were pretty stable times. The Buddhist basis of Thai society & devotion to the Monarchy seemed to have a calming effect on the militarism that remained present but mostly quiet.
You visited at the time we are in a military government with a prime minister so close to monarch, of course it would be calm.
I was out with Jeb on a date went by when the red shirts were doing thier protest she was frightened by seemed like they were waving at me that was before 2014. In 2014 it took 3 hours to go from Soi 62 Ekamai to Surpharniphum to go home for work . Shut down Bangkok by the Yellow shirt really did just that. I felt concerned about Yin having to leave and looking like a third world country. But I stay out of Thai politics because I'm a guest and is now my retirement home Chiang Rai. Thanks for this for help me to understand. Sawadee Khap.🤠👍
For the coup of 2006/2014 it happened afer a prolonged political unrest in the country that lasted for months close to year even. So would you rather prefer a semi dictatorial military government but with a sense of peace and normality in your day to day life or a democratic government but with protest and political unrest from daily?
I agree. Here in UK a similar issue remains . The game when in uniform is funny or when in service or in training . The stress test of persons likes. This reveals truths in troubles. The shields. Here the games are though now but when I was every answer at my side the funny jokes are me my thoughts . So moving to a need to be more say survival in other ways the strong armof makes harder sight in this us not helpful! But time sees a dawn if different it is reposted . But I think hunger is the nature's roar

Having lived in rural southern Thailand for the last 5 years my impression is that most people I have met here have very little interest in politics... democracy is a western political concept that doesn't easily translate into this 95% Buddhist culture. Not sure it ever will. Democracy is quite clearly not a 'one-size fits all'... and it definitely comes across as a pervasive western arrogance that it 'should'!
Seems obvious to me that it's the 'Thais' themselves who will work it out... being their country of course!
Personally speaking... escaping from a 'democratic' UK 5 years ago to live in a military ruled kingdom was the best decision of my life... no contest! Who'd of guessed?
You're insane,, who in the right mind chose to live in military ragime
@Artiz Thank you Artiz
'Thais' themselves who will work it out... being their country of course!.. Absolutely agree with U.
@@surapongchunprapaph4180 Where I am living the people here have not only welcomed and tolerated me they have also demonstrated a 'communal' way of life that is in complete contrast to the predominant 'individualistic' culture from which I am used to 'living' in the UK! A simple example would be opening my front door to fresh vegetables/fruit/herbs left by people I don't even know... on more occasions than I can ever recount or return either! Their generosity and friendship is profoundly humbling and I can only hope my meagre but enthusiastic responses have at least gone some way regarding my amazing neighbours and friends... allowing them to know how much I appreciate them and their astonishing kindness! Better in every way? Of course not. The most important ones for me... definitely! People make a country... not politics!
@@Artiz... TQ very much for sharing yr iinformations and Idea.
Thailand here I come
This is what happened to Myanmar in 1962. Ne Win stole power with a military coup. The only way to foil coups is educating citizens on self defense. Right to defend, right to arm comes hand in hand with right to freedom. Arm the civilians like in old days, educated in martial arts and self defense. Educate citizens on politics, economics and use of defensive weapons at early age.
Myanmar wasn't Thailand to begin with, even similar coup style.
Let us debate . Freedom and human
ปัญหานี้คล้ายม๊แบฮ่องกง
Thailands new slogan should be ' *Welcome to Thailand,the land of coups, not smiles* ' !
The real question every one of us in the world need to ask is, what should the role of a government be? To work for and serve the people and be subject to the will of the majority of the population of a country...or for the people to serve and be subject to the will of a group of people that have put themselves in a position to control and rule over a population. Who should ultimately be in control and how will the general population be best served???
Clap clap clap
Basically the difference between democracy and communism.
@@graguitar6493 Not really. Communism still aims to support the majority, it just hasn't worked well before. Fascism is, I think, the opposite of democracy. Basically, it's "F you because I'm in charge and I said so". And then there's libertarianism, the one that seems to always just degrade into widespread corruption.
THAI RUK THAI❤
Well, it looks like the Thai PM ex military general is handling well the covid crisis. Wondering how those two opposing civilian politicians will do well in this pandemic from the red & yellow shirt.

Not sure whether corrupted civilian government or notorious dictatorship is less worse but king rama 9 is evidently the best leader... he’s gone... meaning miles further away from unity.
This shows how powerful the Old Thai establishment is and how total their control
The military coup in 2014 was necessary to prevent a civil war. Those politicians they arrested where pushing people to fight each other for their own personal benefits. And they didn’t make a difference about what side the politicians where from.
Also they didn’t start the coup till they had the permission of the King.
Democracy isn’t the ultimate form of politics. In fact it’s full of flaws, as already Socrates realized. So restricting it isn’t always a bad thing, and sometimes the only way to prevent a disaster.
But now it's already under the monarchy, everyone knows that the current monarch is consolidating his power and wealth OPENLY. So, I think the 2014 coup is just to pave a way for the monarchy to control the country again.
Jade is the one who support the military regime
So in Thailand the people doesn't trust the military while in my country it's the opposite the military is the most trusted
I gonna say that first is The Best Coup in thai bc The First Prime Minister plan to Bring back The absolute Monarchy in 1933
the report is just a tip of the iceburge !
The political drama never changes, the strong and rich strive for power and wealth against each other outside and inside. No one can trust that includes the closest person. No one really does it for people, when they in, grab as much as possible give scrum to the people. Corruption is the way of life in all sectors and all levels. ASEAN a long way to go, it gets lucky because of the trade with China but also increases mega-corruption. Evils always evils, never change.
Good content but not all truth, interviews obviously partisan and lies.
The King gives him the “Power” to run the Country, Only him the king has that power to removes him from this position he is in now. As The Whole world knew how weak King (Maha Vajiralongkorn, Rama IX) of Thailand is....
Previously, the King Rama ๙ He has signed a coup d'etat many times.

2050: What if Powerful Official Military robots and drones R utilized to ensure and provide peace , security and order?
Why few Thai people stand against the military comparing to the Burmese people? From my point of view, I will consider the "Carrots and Sticks" idea. In the case of Myanmar, the military gives people much more sticks than the carrots. The Ne Win regime in the 1960s used the isolation policy which ruined the Burmese economy which once one pf the most properous in Asia, more prosperous than Thailand at the same period. The military also used the iron fists to everything opposing them, the domocratic actitivists, the minority ethnic groups. So, the opposing power is much more. While in Thailand, even the military used the iron fists many times to the people they regards as their enemy, but Thai military gives the Carrots and Sticks equally, during the 1960s, Thailand became the US ally to fight the communists in Indochina and recieved many supports from the US, such as the scholarship, the investment and some kinds of development. The government also supported the technocrats to work in many development projects. And they also know how to play with internationnal politics, great powers, so they don't face as much boycott or sanction as the Burmese military faces. This gives Thailand a space of development comparing to neighboring countries in the region. This is why the opposing of the military in Myanmar is much more than in Thailand.
I think it's not a comparison but a concern about how Thailand could end up some years later. It is a concern for me. I don't think Chan-Ochoa really wants to take such an extreme stance but who knows what will happen after the next period of unrest. Eventually, there has to be stability.
If you know the actual name of the Thai capital. You might know the real history of the heart of continental south-east Asia and the Sukhothai is not the first’s Siam capital.
Major events during each reign, with an assessment of the character of individual Kshasatriya, a group of Brahmans, warriors and their particular achievements, together with those of other major players. Some important events were attempted to terminated. The history of events is blended with descriptive passages about monuments surviving today that are relevant to support their own and illuminate history.
Political development is paralleled by Thailand’s cultural development,
especially in relation to religious and royal flourish architecture. Politicians and Merchant guilds are at another level in the hierarchy of agreements. The people of Thailand are sophisticated, meditated and courteous. Freedom is the oxygen of the Thai soul. The westerners never understand and won’t be able to invade the land.
Thailand’s historical progression has been complex and the foundations of national identity, religion and monarchy in particular.

Drugs and alcohol abuse

This news agency often makes news about Thailand. But it never presents the dire problems of the country itself. Perhaps the Thai media should have presented more of the dark side of Singapore.

not just abt Thailand, but also about all other surrounding countries except its island nation of course. LOL

Ok...picture this...a group of people come protesting at your house they throw rocks and stuff at you..what are you gonna do ? stand there and take hits ?
Look .. mate .. I am from Thailand. I know the systems over there is fucked. This is happening in my own country and I know most ppl who protested are “poor people” you know people with not a lot to give ? most of the military comes from where these people comes from for example “farmers ?” So you must think it such a good idea to shoot innocent civilians with no guns in their hands and you the one with a guns.. and you think that’s fair ? Have some moral.
@@thti3070 It is never ok to shoot people regardless of any guns in their hands or not but my question is when they start throwing stuff at the police or army and start throwing stuff at police station what do u expect the police or army to do ? talk to them in a nice manner ? law and order must be maintain or there will be social unrest and when that happens...the protesters will regret it because someone will take the opportunity to gain some benefits of their own. be careful what you wish for...it may look and sound good at first but the ugly truth will come out later...

Once the military dips its finger in politics it will stick to the core of power and authority disregarding the rule of democracy. Thai should make its voice loud and clear that military belongs to the barracks and not in parliament.

@Ichini that’s your house not Thailand
i think that i cant set up with you about burmese military
The army serves the king, the king serves the policies of America, the Americans live in Thailand as the real kings.
What I saw in Thailand is Strict Monarchy rule, Military power over politics , and beautiful girls at Pattaya bars...😇
Thailand is a Lovely country .
Since the Thailand King Rama. The 9 passed away . Thailand changing n needs Reforms
Really my family and many friends feel normal. They have still lived and worked freedomly since no big protesting like 7 or 8 years ago. Perhap some groups have disadvantaged thier benefits and power from this gov. and have tried hard to destroy them.
Hello from thie land love women's and food keeps is one of the big ones left to the side but he lives there when he was since can remember alone
Try ask people to die for freedom. In that any soldier bows. No other thoughts.
Thailand, literally coup like a cycle. But at least it doesn't end like Myanmar.
hello
Thailand no problem.
Why largely, one shouldn't regard Thailand as a democracy because the military interferes far too often and is ultimately not accountable. I think King Bhumidol had provided a stabilizing influence to the country which was sadly when he died in 2016.
Forgot to mention the best Thai prime minister abisit
Am I supposed to read that name in less than 6seconds 😅
You give name address
The economic picture in Thailand is being manipulated by the wuflu. And also what better tool is their than cv!
DON'T CALL it a ''necessary evil''.
