Military In Politics: Thailand | Insight | Full Episode 

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.

The Chinese are the enemy. Has anyone got a problem with that.

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 ???

@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

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.

@@Butterfly_daydreams 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.

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.

Agreed. When I was there in 2018, it was easy to forget a military general was running the country.

Represive

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

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.

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. 🤭

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?

​@@graguitar6493no

การแข่งขันที่มีแต่เสียกับเสีย

Hmmmm...

I think Indonesia is worst

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.

Myanmar wasn't Thailand to begin with, even similar coup style.

Their are other cna documentaries about Thailand , I just viewed a few others here on yt.

See theirs that covid 19 creating many problems throughout the world. What a perfect tool for disruption and see silly people follow it without question

I think you should watch it again. Dates was said

@@TaraVanhonacker so you still stuck in there?

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.

@lati long no, both bad but there are degrees are bad, just like there are degrees of crimes

@lati long Who do you think the "Liberal" West sell arms to?

call it a "mango republic " ...

@@mark-shane or Durian Democracy

When you are under a Kim-Die-Nasty brand of people's democratic republic, a banana republic would look like paradise.

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.

That’s a joke right?

@@Prog4Prog more like sarcasm

@@andygian5523 😂😂👍

The only "free" country in Asia is actually Malaysia, forget all of the others for retirement. I was thinking a lot about this matter, considered Laos and Vietnam as well, forget it all. It is not so easy like it was 20 years ago. Sadly.

@@Angie.Globetrotter Malaysia is highly corrupted may as well just move to Singapore

@@birdyards HAHAHA Singapore? You can not "just move" to Singapore, seems you have NO clue what you are talking about!

@@Angie.Globetrotter if you have the money you can move to anywhere you want dumb ass

@@birdyards maybe he mean that because singapore is not so freedom country

Thailand's nightmare with covid has just began. The current outbreak is going to cause far more damage and prove catastrophic imo. I hope I'm wrong but shits not good here now

Recently, it seems like he couldn't handle it very well don't he?

@@graguitar6493 Nah, you're not wrong, it's getting worse lmao

@@graguitar6493 here from the future, you're wrong bro we actually did quite well for outselves in covid...at the very least

@@tsurugi5 who's we?

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...

@@fanniinnanetguy653 Continue to live in your dreamy world where everyone plays by the rules and see what good you can do for the world. If you have civilians burning cars and buildings and setting off bombs how are you going to handle the situation without shooting the ones who are responsible ?

Remember the university massacre? Fun times.

where can I get more info about this in english?

ใช่แล้วครับ กระหรี่พัทยาสวยจริงๆ ดีใจมากที่ประเทศไทยทำอะไรก็ไม่แพ้้ชาติใดในโลก🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

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.

CNA doesn't want to get sued for millions.

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

Your statement prove that you don't often watch CNA programs,sound brainless

I suppose there are only sunny days where you come from ? please wake up to reality.

Thats never gonna happen,

@@absyahwa7698 why? Just courious..

@@RBayuRamdhani i think because CNA are from Singapore..thats why

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.

did you forget about Japan 1945? LOL

The way you said sound that you are Communist from CCP

@@kujuakusg no I cant stand the vile ccp, I like history and facts and calling people out on untruths

But colonized by neighboring Country. 😊

@Ichini that’s your house not Thailand

still waiting

She doesn't have to. She can just observe democratic countries and see that they are doing pretty well. Don't let the smartphone dabbling fool you. She's probably smarter than you are.

​@@numsiskitIf you are as smart as you try to appear to be, then you would be smart enough to to realize that you should be nice to us dumb people.

@@MrXtenzion Haha it was a joke, man. But I don't think she needs to be older or have a poli sci degree to understand what real democracy could mean for Thais.

@@numsiskit No need to argue with him, there always these type of people even in Thailand. They cannot take any criticism and usually tell the person who criticize to go handle themselves lol!

I am a single foreign woman who went to Thailand in 2012 with quite a lot of money ... in 2013 I was violently chased away from the house I built, to find myself "homeless" ... since 2013 I have been beaten, tortured, forced to sleep in rice fields, being arrested for VISA violations, being extradited ... since 2013 my life is PURE HELL ... Thailand is just a colony of crime , of violent criminals and nothing else ... YESTERDAY I was refused access on a flight to Bangkok even when I had a certificate of entry to the Kingdom of Thailand because apparently I was banned for life ... I did not even know ... I do not know what is wrong with all those people in Thailand but ... When you look up my name on Amazon you will see that I have written a book called "Thai poems and love songs" ... that I dedicated this book ... I WANT THE MONSTERS OF THAILAND TO EXPLAIN TO THE WORLD WHY THE WRITER OF THAT BOOK HAS BEEN THE VICTIM OF 100'S OF CRIMES AGAINST HER PERSON BY PURE INFERNAL CRIMINALS ...
