Thailand's military detained former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra on Friday in the latest development of the country's unraveling political crisis.
The army, which is consolidating its grip on Thailand following Thursday's coup d'état, barred 155 prominent citizens from leaving the country.

Something that I feel a lot of people here don't understand is that this is nothing out of the ordinary. Thailand has a long history of military coups. Ever since the revolution of 1932, Thailand has had a coup every couple of years, with just a few periods of relative peace in between. But these coups are not like those you see really anywhere else. These coups usually come as a result of the military seeing the government as being too corrupt, which it often is. When this happens, and the military decide to do something about it; they take over the country, mostly peacefully, the vast majority of corrupt politicians leave either politics, or the country altogether, and after a while the military gets bored with civil administration, and new elections proceed. It's a lot like the regular floods that Thailand gets, it washes away the shit, and the people are happy for it.
U are right
Sir eh...... I don't think people are happy for floods. I mean Idk about you but I rather not have my house flooded
Agreed
@@autumnly3409I don’t think people like the coups nor the floods
*Insert random comment about the US being behind all this*.
just wait for it
This one i can confirm the US didnt back it
Minegamer im sure you an expert
@@minegamer5680 Yeah okay, minegamer.
How does this affect the hooker trade?
Isn't this like their 10th coup?
100+ in a century.
***** This is a more serious one, maybe not the most, but its pretty damn big.

It's tradition now..
It be like : meh just another day in Thailand
Holy shit I had no idea something like this would actually happen.
This is the 30th coup done by the Thai military in 100 years. Time will tell if the army just wants to return to democracy or install permanent military rule.
***** In Thai yes it seems they love their coup
Anton VD Why would the Thai military want to rule this time? They ought to know that they're defenders and peacekeepers, and not judges, legislators, or administrators over civilians. I'd think the military is more interested merely in reestablishing stronger and less tense stability for the proper Thai political process to run.
ha! so noob..
***** bluo88 I hope you guys are correct of course. But you should never underestimate people with weapons and power
"the army should not be involved in politics".... I AGREE 100%
America loooves to do that, even going as far as to get involved in another nations politics that they dont belong in
@@OrthoKarter The US army follows the orders of the corrupt politicians, not the other way around
Scary thing is the guy's eye at 3:40 where he is unarmed shouting at the soldiers and a laser dot appears near his eye...
Traffic signal far behind him
To be fair the Thai army doesn't seem to be using excessive force, its just the leaders trying to gain control
Is it me or does it seem like the world is about to up in flames?
Its because you are living in a very comunicated world, as Kathy D says there never has been a period of peace but in the past only things that may affect you come to your awareness. Or things that the media wanted to, just like now but with social media there are many things that would not be covered by mainstream media being published.
True
It's ALWAYS been like this, i'd even go as far as to say we are in a period of relative peace, the difference between now and before is that we actually have the knowledge of stuff happening all around the world, instead of only our own nation.
it is, just find you someone to love and ignore it all
Beatup .S It hasn't been close to ending since the Cold War ended :P
Thank you Vice for reporting on this.
Nothing has changed, if I'm honest I've seen so much progress in the country developing in the past 2 years , the country isn't being "Controlled" and we are still allowed to freely do as we wish.
is the dispatch still in bangkok? cause i would love to be around and help
Teens going "NOOOO"
Adults just going "Here we go again"
1:15 is such a classic coup broadcast
Being a General must be a position of much power in a country like this.
Bruno Mars went in in the begging, didnt think he had in him
Now the Prime Minister of Thailand is retired general.
3:40 Sniper red dot on protesters face.
And now, according to Wikipedia on international government, Thailand is classified as a military dictatorship (more specifically, constitutional monarchy under military junta)
Nothing has changed, if I'm honest I've seen so much progress in the country developing in the past 2 years , the country isn't being "Controlled" and we are still allowed to freely do as we wish.
Now it's democracy
Yesss I think G Dragon wrote the song " Coup d'Etat" for my country(Thailand). Lol
ทหารไทยมันเก่งแต่กับประชาชน
Same thing that happened to Philippines. South-East Asia needs a miracle to solve the mass corruption going on.
I can barely hear what the reporter is saying, TURN UP the volume!
a little more info on the political history of the region would be nice. maybe more info in general (from both sides)
What are the 'red Shirts" ?
This happens every other year in Thailand
We are living in very unstable and uncertain times.
Too many humans competing for too few resources, housing and employment.
The coming decade will see massive upheaval not seen for decades.
oh boy, this can't be good
6 yrs later and we still repeating ourselves
this aged very well
what is the name of soundtrack?
Hey Vice, if you didn't keep the aperture on f1.4, the people you're filming wouldn't drop out of focus every two seconds.
2:29 The guy has a U.S. Army 1st Cavalry Division patch on his chest?
A friend of mine is on holiday in Thailand at the moment. Not good.

Support thai royal thai army. Stop the corruptions and reform the country.

It's been four years now and now what? What has improved?
I noticed some Tavor rifles.. Nice..
this dude makes it sound way more serious than it actually is. things are pretty much just the same here in BKK day to day
G dragon blessed me
What's unusual with the coup? Army seems to be trying to prevent a civil war. Mothing new in this respect. The army people seem to be well mannered and well behaved too, not aggressive or angry. You're not getting many coups and martial law situations where army personnel are posiong for photographs with foreign tourists.
This reporter seems cool, I kind of want to see more of him.
i feel so bad for them i would like to help :c
Man that guy looks so tired and worn out
lol 1st cav patch at 2:30
This is what happens when people can't make up their minds, negotiate and come to agreements with the other side
Their troops seem to be better funded then ours. They get issued Tavors ($1800 msrp), us American soldiers are issued Colt M4s ($700 msrp).
Hardly,skip to 2:34
I dont know where your finding Colt M-4's for $700 but if you can, pick up a few for me. Spend a lot of time in Thai, this is the first Travor I have seen, I was shocked to see it too but dont think they have very many of them. The ones they have were more than likely bought with US military aid so we paid for them. The usual army gun I see there are vintage Colts, very worn probably Vietnam War/first Gulf War era.
Stop playing vidogames, military grade weapons are definetley not that cheap.
Thats bc we fund them but our training is way better from what i can tell. Most probably wont stand and fight or have nearly as much experience in war like American soldiers
As a member of the u.s army id like to know where you can find these 700 dollar m4s? they are waaay more expensive than wikipedia is telling you.
Im a Thai citizen, and I can say that the vid was a little exaggerated, It's much more calmer than that, people start taking selfies with troops guarding around the city with their humvees and trucks.
As the anti-army/martial law protesters, those people are just provoking violence from the army, They stated that they did not wanted a coup, and yet a few of them act aggressive towards the the troops, leaving the army no choice but to apprehend them. The army even stated out that protesting with more than 5 people is currently prohibited, they are just looking trouble in my opinion.
I understand that from what is currently happening, it looks as if it's leading to dictatorship, but then again, what VICE didn't mention in the vid other than capturing all the protesters and the politicians was that, General Prayuth declared to pay all the farmers for the rice pledging programme that Yingluck's Government failed to do. Simultaneously searching for a new prime minister/leader that will temporarily run the country until everything is resolved.
But then again, Time will tell whether General Prayuth is actually restoring peace or turn my country a totalitarian state. As of right now, Im trusting him to clean up this mess that the politicians, and protesters created.
You are really stupid! The protests need to be agressive to the troops because military should not be involved on politics. Military should obey the civilians, not the opposite.
Prayuth already killed a lot of people back then in 2010 and he continues killing people and stealing money. You idiots who support coups are the responsible for Thailand being this backward country.

That part of Mexico looks very unsafe.
Anyone else notice that the Thai military adopted the Tavor? That was quick.
We have Tavor TAR-21 replace M16A1 since 2002
No Reds No Yellows. These 100 people demonstrating against the coup. should be the ones leading Thai politics. It takes a lot of love and courage to do what they did.
I have seen this struggle all over the internet. The Military declares martial law. What troubles me is most people who live in a supposedly free country like America, say this could never happen to us. Well think again, Homeland Security, Transportation Security Agency, Immigration and Customs Enforcement are all internal Quasi-Para-Military units. That have grown to a point that there power might overwhelm our own elected government. I hope that does not happen. Americans are peaceful people unless the powers that be decide to disregard our Constitution and Bill of Rights. That will be a game changer and those who think they can pull that off. Well they will have to deal with a well-armed Militia. I can only hope that our military will decide to follow their oath to their country and the constitution. (foot note) our police force better remember their oath too.
Ask Donald Trump if he love america.
I wonder why sum are carrying rly little ammo, I hardly see any ammo pouches on dem.
Because firing could spark a civil war.
scary...
again really, well we have the number 21, "Timmy, put the days without military cues counter back on zero!"
2:30 why is that guy wearing a 1st cav patch
because as another poster mentioned about kit, the soldiers buy a lot of kit themselves. They pretty much do as they please, its the same if you are in the police or a company security guard.
These guys arent the same as a western army, they probably have no understanding in what they are doing or why. Mushrooms.
I hope this doesn't disrupt the production of asian street meat
Friðrik Jarisson lmaoo
I love Thai arm better then bad political long time we had met.
Why are they mad at the army for keeping the peace
because there may be a chance that once they have all the power they may establish a dictatorship which usually go hand and hand with totalitarianism which is never good...
Because it doesn't seem like they are. Arresting all politicians in the country, banning them from leaving, and then "dispersing" a protest? A bit odd.
Shedio if they dont do it thailand will had a civil war red vs yellow
most aren't and welcome the military taking control
Most of the anti Coup are Thaksin supporters like the Redshirt. This is not a fight between poor and rich like many people said. If they said that they don't know any shit about thailand. Thaksin buy vote from poor people and give them the money buy loan. So the country is in dept and the poor get money doesn't know that they also have to pay it back one day, paying the dept back buy everybody in the country.
good shit army fuck these protecters
***** lol bro the army are the once for poor people in thiland and the police is with middel-high class people
simao bajs
I love Thailand I didn't even know this was a thing.
Again?
One side of the story is not fair...
It's weird how we revere men who dress up in the same costume and are willing to point guns at peaceful, unarmed people.
Support thai army
I don't know how to reply to my won comment .
I'm not sure that they are " no " protest . But they are less and ( I'm not sure )the army have banned protesting.

wow do countries still hv coups
What was the generals name that declared himself prime minister??
his name is prayuth jan-o-cha. and now he is in power for 5 years and there is nothing good under military government. most of thai people are hate him but we can't do nothing because they have guns and tanks to control people. USA please help us from this hell.
#sorry for my poor language.
In the day of the coup begun, they tell us that previous government have coruption so they need to seize control the country. But now they are coruption too and there is no one can fight him cause they have control everything such as news,council, even social media they also control. And the bad thing is there are some people support the military to launch a coup until now they are still support.
Damn they have so many coup d'etat. They also had short war with Cambodia in 2008 and 2012.
It's sooo awesome I live in a peaceful and democratic country!

Oh, so you're one of those guys; Unsatisfied with your own life you turn to absurd extremist conspiracy theories about how we all live in a violent police state.

Go redpill some communist on reddit!
HAL 9000
ha, what makes you think im unsatisfied with my life buddy?. talking about living in a bubble, your comment seems to imply you live in one.and since we are guessing the physiological and social behavior of each other, i presume you are one of those people who lacks greatly in social interaction and a self proclaimed keyboard warrior that tries to pick fights on the internet,one who is oblivious to sarcasm due to your inadequate social interaction skills. and if you had included in your first comment the country you speak of, it would have saved us this piss fest. and germany isnt all rainbows and unicorns with corrupt political parties and businesses.
Tar-21's ..pretty fancy for the Thai army.
Well Done to the Thailand army if the Ukrainian Army had the balls to do this then they would have diverted a Civil War in Ukraine but Luckily the same situation didn't happen in Thailand!
Shawn Beezy B Yeh, I've seen how Democracy has worked in Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq, Ukraine and in Thailand!
Had they done this in Ukraine Russia would of invaded and taken the WHOLE country
Shawn Beezy B That's the whole Point, at least the Ukrainian army will want to strengthen ties with Russia rather with the West because Russia is their biggest arms supplier!
@@F145h1 And see how the dictatorships worked out in Iraq, Lybia, Afghanistan, and Syria. You do realize that a good gov't doesn't have their leaders executed by their own ppl right? Well, I guess in Afghanistan's case, it was Russia that killed their leader. Fuckwit
F145h1 *Laughs in Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republic*

I guess this means that 'no more fun foreigner in Thailand.' ¿Am I right?
Well, I hope this wont end up like Aritrea.
This is why we should disarm, and no country should possess a military army. Or a military army that is strong
+Curtis I good luck whit that
But this army actually helping the country
+Curtis I That's retarded. There's a reason humans created militaries and armies in the first place
+Curtis I Then one country keeps it's military and uses that to take over others, or the police creates a police state and nobody is there to stop it. The only way to insure the possibility of civilian control is an armed populous, which does carry some of its own problems
+Curtis I Are you an idiot?
Are revolutions a new trend this year?

Sorry but can someone explain to me what is going on there. I heard its about corruption.
UN PLEASE HLEP US PROTECT DEMOCRACY PROTECT HUMAN RIGHT IN THAILAND
To all misunderstand foreigners .
I live in Thailand and Thailand needed the military to command martial law . They have already been lots of killing from protest and lots of corruption . So if the military don't take over , the killing will be more and more . But when the military command the martial law , things started to get better and continuing to get better . Example : they are no protest , the farmer that join the gov's rice fund ( if I have bad English and didn't deliver the message good , I am sorry ) have got the money( that the government have promise them they will give but they didn't ) from the army , etc .
Please don't go crazy and thinks that martial law is bad .
Thai Army can't be too poor, those guys are wielding Tavors with rds systems, more costly than M4's and AK's by far
I don't know why, but this shit trips me out.
Now that the king has endorsed the coup, it obviously admits that he's behind the coup.
Absolute Monarchy has never left Thailand. Democracy and Monarchy are not meant to be with each other. Choose one!
this is what happens with a disarmed populace
this ruins my trip to phuket D:
Oh yeah, I live in Thailand and I'm still fine. Just don't mess with Military and Don't risk yourself in curfew times.
I'm not a big fan of a dictatorship but at least the army is keeping order. I don't want the country to be stabilized like Syria.
Seems like whatever happened, Thailand is doing well now
