coup leaders: Prayuth Chan-o-cha is giving a bad name to coup leaders, who normally take over to restore order and get things done, according to The Japan Times. But to truly appreciate why Thailand next 10 years will be a dud, we need to explore where things went so wrong over the last 10. The latest band of generals to grab power in Bangkok is proving less operational than the government they tossed aside in May 2014, and that saying a lot. In 2006, Thailand was the scene of another spectacular coup — that one to topple Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra. Like the former Italian leader, Thaksin harnessed business connections to win Thailand top job and, once there, looked after the family business too blatantly for comfort. Efforts by the to pull a Silvio Berlusconi on Thailand rubbed many the wrong way.
