Coups not the answer

» Re: "Regime is here to stay", (Editorial, May 22). While the Bangkok Post correctly points out that the "many Thais who initially backed the regime … should have come to realise now that a military coup can never be a real solution to a flawed or corrupt government", the reality betrays an even deeper failure to understand Thai affairs by those Thai citizens who supported the coup. The piously unfulfilled promises made up to justify the latest overthrow of the supreme legal pillar of the Thai nation -- the constitution, that defines every other official Thai institution -- should never have been credible to anyone given the decades-long history of coups that have served only to prevent the evolution of healthy democratic solutions to Thailand's endemic corruption and other political ills.

» Re: "Bravo Prayut", (PostBag, Jan 26). It is nice that Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha still has his avid supporters, but 449,900 is not quite right in his letter, in which he insists that "the majority of those polled would prefer Prayut to be the next prime minister". The largest single percentage might still prefer Gen Prayut, but that number is far below a majority. And the poll statistics show a consistent downward trend.
