Prayut Chan-o-Cha

While the move will dampen public protests, it will do little to address the concerns that have pushed so many Thais into the streets.

Protest organizers have vowed to keep up the pressure on the administration of Prayut Chan-o-cha, which is showing few signs of compromising.

For those wanting a democratic Thailand, is it more important to keep the military in its barracks or the king in his palaces?

The trending call for a republic hinted at the depth of discontent running beneath the current protest movement.

The weekend's demonstrations indicate that the momentum for political reform is unlikely to dissipate any time soon.

The region’s authoritarian turn has made life difficult for lawmakers opposing entrenched political interests.

The move comes at a time when key Thai institutions, including the military and monarchy, are under close public scrutiny.

The throne’s sacred aura has faded under the reign of the vain and unstable King Vajiralongkorn.

The premier’s defense of the deal in parliament was just the latest manifestation of heightened scrutiny on Thailand's defense policy.

A protest in the Thai capital over the weekend constituted one of the biggest political demonstrations of its kind in years.

The development reinforces the government’s determination to make inroads despite the challenges that confront it.
