🇹🇭 When will democracy be restored in Thailand? | Inside Story

It has been four years since the ruling Pheu Thai party was removed from power in Thailand in a military coup.
But the crackdown on its members continues with a number of them now charged for breaking a ban on political activity.
They streamed a news conference live on facebook, criticising the country's rulers and campaigned for the Junta to hold a general election. The government now says the country will go to the polls in February.
But what hope is there for democracy in Thailand?

It was the 4 years of wasteful
that Thailand was under administer
ed by the Thai Junta Prayut and his coup to country's reformation but nothing make country better and become Junta himself.
He said he came to end the people's conflict but their coup became the Conflict coup themselve and their contributor were the People's Democratic Reform Committee (aka.PDRC) leaded by Suthep
Thaugsuban, the former Democratic party and his Democratic paties too. He invited many people, many job and many elite people (Super stars and Top-class actors) to shut down Bangkok with made whistle
became their mob's logo and disturbed
Bangkok to made Yingluck Shinawat the former female prime minister who is Thaksin Shinawat's wife to resign
ed and disturbed the 2nd Feb 2014 election to made Thailand in a fail-state and Prayut and his coup came to coup d'etat
. It was an very surprised that during coup d'etat, many people very pleased this coup d'etat even it was the democracy destruction. The way to restores Thailand's democracy is very hard until Prayut coup's military must to quit the politics.
From a Thailand people.
