- The liberal Move Forward party and the Pheu Thai party secured by far the largest number of votes in national elections, trouncing parties allied with the military and setting the stage for a flurry of deal-making in a bid to end nearly a decade of conservative, army-backed rule

As a Cambodian i'm really proud of Thai people.
Why??
Thank you
@@SECRETORDEROFTHEKNIGHTSTEMPLAR Since I was born I never ever get a new leader.
Thank you! Powers to SEA!
Thank you dude!
Congrats to Thailand! I have been living in Thailand as an expat for over 13 years. I know that Thai people have been wanting democracy for a long time. I hope the Move Forward party makes positive changes for Thai people. You deserve freedom and to have your voices heard.
yes bro
Thank you🙏🏼
my wife is expecting 10,000 baht. soon.
Thank you ❤
No use unless they swiftly put the military and monarchy under democratic control.
Go Thailand! Greetings from your neighbors Indonesia 🇮🇩 🇹🇭
Thailand is approaching 100 years of democracy yet we have never had truly free and fair election. Even now, vote buying and intimidation is widespread outside of urban areas but this election is possibly the closest yet to a fair election that reflects the will of the people.
finally some who is telling the truth about thailand
Has China tried to influence this election?
Yeah things get better over time, I still remember intimidating voters used to be such a common thing in my country but now its rare.
@Mikhael no India, things were horrible a decade ago but its improving at a reasonable rate with evm, cctv etc.
There’s been like 100 coups. That’s not a democracy and will never be unless the people do something about the military.
No more coup, only democracy 🧡
Having witnessed Thailand first hand emerge from the coup of the 80s to a more democratic freer society and then drop back to monarchy and military control, the best ideas in spa and shopping experience ended in the last few years of Thaksin rule and after that from Prayut till now, you can see the decline in quality of goods , services and smiles as we know our Thai friends were really having a hard time and in no mood to display the creativity in food and design they are naturally blessed with.
Wonderful. Let freedom ring! No more oppression.
The junta appointed 250 senators will decide who will be PM.
As in, the senate appointed by the ruling party? Then what was the point of the election
@@darlingtondeathbeam nope as in the senate is under military control and they get to decide who becomes the pm
Armies should report to the government, but not be the government. The people never benefit from military rule. Myanmar is a perfect example of this.
We hope this is the dawn of democracy in Thailand 🧡🇹🇭 No more dictators
No democracy in the world
@Sentinel Guardian ...what?
No Democrats only pheu Thai only
@@happylucky5076Pure Democracy would barely work for a couple thousand people, let alone 100000x that
Even the democracy praiser (United States) doesn't even practice democracy. United States is a republic.
I just wanna say thanks you guys so much !! This is the greatest victory of Thailand. We’re gonna remember this moment for the rest of our lives. No more dictators 🇹🇭🧡🙏🏻ขอบคุณสำหรับกำลังใจครับ.
I have some disappointing news for you...
@@alexanderhowarth6460 what?
@@mgheinmg290 they're only going to remember it until the next election cycle when they fall for the same, or essentially the same lies coming from someone else.
Thailand still has the dictatorship run from Washington, sorry to say.
❤
Go Thailand!!!
Congrats to the Thai people
ALL RIGHT!!!! 😊 How WONDERFUL! ^_^
Congratulations Move Forward from your neighbour Malaysia
Thanks ❤
Very excited for Thailand Malaysia to be entering a new era of renaissance even as Singapore is declining into rot and corruption.
Thailand deserves to be a rich country and prosper! The Thai people deserve this! There are very nice people!
Woooohoooo...I'm so proud of my country🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡 ทำได้แล้ว
Congratulations! Keep up the correct political alignment to drive Thailand in a proper directions.
Having people that can converse in English gives confidence!
Congrats Thailand. Love and respect from the Philippines
Prayuth, jail is waiting for you.
He will go to live in exile in the US.
@@keatkhamjornmeekanon7616 not really when he still have 100% control of the military
Jailing an ex-PM is throwing stones in a glass house
@@mightymizzar9672 He's lost control over the army for a long time. Last month, his protégés in the army were demoted.
@@keatkhamjornmeekanon7616 Nah not US probably China or Russia hahaha
Thailand is back baby!
Welcome back Thailand!
Hope new government of Thailand maintains or improves the assistance to the poor
Not by feeding but the opportunity to grow.
So happy Thailand can change❤❤❤
ดีใจมากๆคะ
Thank you.🥰
0:34 A PM who can speak english
I'm in! Phita for Prime minister 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
Here’s to a Liberal Constitutional Monarchy for Thailand! To Thailand!
We can do it!!! 😊😊😊😊
Too many people here do not understands Thai politics, and are cheering way too early for democracy. The military in Thailand do still hold the power to elect their PM if they choose to. So let's wait and see. I hope you all are right and it will be great fro democracy, but I am doubtful.
Exactly
250 คน คงไม่กล้าเล่นกับคนทั้งประเทศ
@@plingz754 เลือกตั้งครั้งที่แล้ววุฒิสภา250 คนเลือกประยุทธ์เป็นนายก. เหตุการณ์นี้อาจจะเกิดขึ้นได้อีกทีนึง😢
@@BobBrown. เราเชื่อว่ามันถึงเวลาแล้วจริง ๆ ที่พวกเขาต้องหยุด เพราะถ้าเกิดขึ้นอีก คิดไม่ออกเลยว่าประชาชน และประเทศไทยจะเป็นยังไง
The winning party leaders should have held their tongue about amending the Les Majeste Constitution.
That Royal symbol may be necessary to keep Thailand together.
Can the new parliament contend with the Senate?
Malaysia noted...✌️😊✌️🇲🇾🇹🇭
Yeah I’m sure this is going to work out perfectly fine
May that country's relations with the United States return to what they were before🇺🇲🤝🇹🇭
Congratulations to Thai people🇹🇭👏👏👏Long Live Democracy🗳
Peace and prosperity to Thailand from Brazil🇧🇷💖🇹🇭
it’s clear the military camp is no longer have the numbers but all opposition teams must come together to form the coalition gov now
I wish MFP and PT can form a goevrenment !! hope !
I am indigenous Montagnard love Thailand 🇹🇭
Congratulations to Thailand that the nightmare of the triangle of evil Ochoa, prawit and anut corrupt and dark days are over, amazing and smile Thailand is back again .bright and happy future and best of luck
Hope this doesn't drift into something bad for Thailand lot of these old generals dont accept defeat well
the fight is not over yet, they're still have 250 senators left in the council that might still vote for minor parties to form the government
(250 senators was the reason why the Junta's military coup party won the last election)
I hope now Thai people can get the government they deserve. Congratulations.
Every government has to perform and to perform, the PM and the Judiciary must get rid of corruption.
Be truly independent and do the right thing for the sake of the people and the country, not pander to any third country.
Hes in opposition now
Congratulations 🧡
I hope it sticks.
Yes I hope to cos we are in a modern world, not ancient tyrannt era
@@victorvictor4235yes same we here in modern world as well 😢😢😢
Freedom!
Great moment for Thailand!! Congratulations!!
Congratulations to Thailand! Vive la democratie!
Thank you 🙏🇹🇭
Wonderful news. Thailand has been held back for too long
I have never been to thailand but I wish the best for Thailand & Thai people. 🇵🇹🤝🇹🇭
The Anti Monarchy party shows where the heart of the Thai people are, the political instability of Thailand comes from only one group and one group only and they are the royalist, let’s hope they don’t try to topple this next freely elected government.
Nothing is happier than this.
Thailand is moving forward now🧡🧡🧡
I hope that the newly elected govt will stay in power as mandated by the constitution of Thailand and not the mandate of another military coup. Congratulation s to our South East Asian brothers for their new found democracy.
No more coup.
Goodbye prayut,now thailand will progress towards democracy!
Yea for the rules based order.
Congratulations to our neighbor Thai citizens! 🎉❤
Fantastic day. Freedom wins the bullets !!!
Mr. Pita will be the best priminister of Thailand that we ever had in the past. His party and pm members and himself have been working so hard to win this election. Congratulations
He is just another Zelensky. That's all. You know the rest.
Praying for change to come to Singapore soon.
พวกเราคนไทย ต่อสู้กันมาหลายปี ขอบคุณทุกคนมาก❤️
Now we wait.
This will be great for the future of the country.
Congrats Thailand !!!
Much love from Taiwan ❤❤❤ 🇹🇭
Thanks you so much
Today is the best day in Thailand 🍊🍊
Beware of the military Coup
The winning party leader has invited.
Congrats to Pita and Move Forward Party.
Please don't let this be a repeat of Myanmar.
ยินดีด้วยท่านนายกฯ
Go on Thailand 👏
Well, this title hasn't aged well
Best Election ever!
Yet the opposition can’t form the majority Govt without the military bloc voting
This party will do it with the second winner
@@cc2016
It is great to see the young triumph but I certainly agreed with the conservatives that Thaksin shud not be allowed to come back freely if he was guilty. If Peu Thai insists for Thaksin comeback it will certainly jeopardize the chances of winning party holding the PM position .
‼️ Any suspicions of dictatorship in Thailand must be strongly condemned, particularly in light of the injustice surrounding Pita's candidacy for prime minister.‼️
So happy! I am very hopeful for Thailand! Democracy at last!
The Republic of Thailand ??? No way it will happen. Therefore , the new Govt has to be extra vigilant to manage the country with the Military behind the scene just like Myanmar at one time.
The time has come!
There are still 250 senator.
🧡🧡🧡
Wow English speaking PM next time...👍
It is not unexpected but to announce that you will amend the Les majeste Constitution is inviting a military coup.
Making it worse was to invite other opposition parties to form a coalition against the incumbent.
That the PM candidate needs the endorsement of the senate, what chance has the PM candidate?
Perhaps, the majority party would consider a national unity government including the incumbent PM and his party.
It's a combined vote, If the conservative/military bloc couldn't muster 126 or more votes the senate's votes means nothing.
@@farhanatashiga3721 military coup
Wish Philippines could've been like this last year but alas
YES. Democracy.
His duty he said ….duty in a cell
Too obvious komrade. Tone it down
@@jzilla1234 ok dad
Is he going to make it ?I am still doubtful.
Freedom in thailand.🧡
Interesting that the potential new PM is named "peeta" as in the past thais have used the 3 finger salute IRL at past events.
Well done to the Thais!
Go on Thailand Power to the People
Young smart one ❤️
congrats for the election thailand
let's hope the military doesn't have any funny idea in the near future
myanmar 2.0 incoming?
Keep going Thailand👉👉👉🧡🧡🧡
I am very happy with Thai
for election 14 May 2023 .
Congratulation for election
in Thailand who Thai showed
Their will .
Reason why have subtitles for Thailand prime minister is he cannot speak English.
Even if he did it would still be needed with all the loud camera shutter noises
Military and royalist don't like him
that's the big problem of new gen
I am the one who voted for his party, hoping that things will change in the positive direction. Tim, no matter what, will be the next prime minister of Thailand.
Move Forward Party even won majority in military districts, low ranking soldiers also want changes.
I live in China. Sorry for the Covid!
Can anyone tell me what *"vote"* means?
🤣🤣🤣
Election
with a new government, they will save money by lowering the baht to attract more tourists like in the early 2000s.
Myanmar people stand with thailand people
New PM speak fluent English.
former PM speak fluent thai gibberish.
top 7 urles in eveyr nation and top 3 rules for life ........................
Pita is on the edge of the plateau if he is still ready to crush on the millitary and climb up to check the Defence Mimister in pararell with PM position. He needs to adjust his attitude with army commander to get along with his coaition for 4 year otherwise this might be a sharp thorn on his chair like Yingluck history.
