Thaksin mistake was not to immediately quashed the protests and let it became uncontrollable. The sister Yingluck also made the same mistake. Chinese saying if you are kind to your enemy then you are being cruel to yourself. Both end up exiled from Thailand. Hope the daughter don't make the same mistake and learn from Deng Xiaoping.

How to quash when the Army General serving in Takshin's government was not supportive of him as the General himself was eyeing the PM's seat and planning a coup?

The same thing happened in Yingluck's government. She was couped by her Defense Minister which took over the PM seat until now. 

A PM without the backing of the military is unlikely to survive long in Thailand during King Bhumibol's era. Dunno whether the same will happen with the current new King.

Asked if Pheu Thai would back that, Paetongtarn, daughter of party patriarch and exiled billionaire Thaksin, said it could be discussed in the legislature.
"Pheu Thai has a clear stand that we won't abolish 112 (the section in the Thai Criminal Code) but there can be a discussion about the law in parliament.

In a sign of the potential flashpoints ahead, Pita on Monday repeated a promise to reform the lese majeste law that imposes harsh prison terms for insulting the monarchy.

This was an issue once deemed untouchable in Thai politics, and which Pheu Thai shied away from during the campaign.🤪😝😜

BANGKOK -- Thais voted on Sunday to choose their next government, after a general election campaign focused on whether the pro-military camp should remain in power or pro-democracy opposition groups should take the reins.

A total of 500 seats in the lower house were up for grabs, comprising 400 constituency seats and another 100 "party list" seats to be distributed based on party ballot results. Over 52 million people 18 or older were eligible to vote.

Does Pita have military backing?

Gen Prayut became prime minister in 2014 after leading a coup d’etat to overthrow Ms Yingluck Shinawatra’s democratically elected government.

His military junta ruled Thailand for nearly five years before a general election was held in 2019 under a new constitution written by a military-appointed committee.

At that time, Gen Prayut was the sole prime ministerial candidate of the pro-junta party Palang Pracharat. The party managed to form the government with its political allies, although it was the Pheu Thai Party that had a majority of seats in the Lower House.

Prayut joined the electoral race on Sunday, hoping to stay in power after more than eight years on the job.
