Thailand is a nation with incredible sovereign identitities and characteristics centric to the Thai King. The Royal family enjoys perhaps the most reverred status in the world.
Thailand has just completed the General Election and there is no clear winner. But the military based Party is expected to ultimately get the reign of governance according to forecasters.
There appears to be a continuing battle between red shirts and yellow shirts. The red is for civilian rule and yellow is for Army rule. The perception is that the Army stands behind the King and red stands for former civilian Prime Minister Taksin Shinawatra.
However, the King could be facing a political dilemma. Leaning too much on the Army Party could also weaken the monarchy base. And backing a true democratic Party may also end up in a tug of political power.
The Kingdom of Thailand is a generous friend of Bhutan. May all go well for the much reverred Thai Royal Family and the friendly people of Thailand.
