Thai military coup TV message

English translation (please correct if wrong):

COMMUNIQUE NO 1

It has been clear that the administration of the country's affairs by the current caretaker government has created conflicts and division, and sowed discord among the people of the nation.

It is unprecedented in the history of the Thai nation that groups were determined to win through ways and means.

The trend is getting more violent every passing day.

The majority of the people are suspicious of extensive corruption and malfeasance practices among the bureaucracy.

Independent agencies and organisations have been dominated by politics and unable to fulfil the objectives as stipulated in the constitution of the Kingdom of Thailand.

Consequently, political activities have encountered numerous problems and obstacles.

Frequently, the dignity of the Thai people's king was affected.

The efforts exerted by several sectors of society to alleviate the situation have failed to bring an end to the conflict.

It is necessary for the Administrative Reform Group under the Democratic System with the King as the Head of State, comprising commanders of the armed forces and the National Police Bureau, to seize national administrative power from now on.

In so doing, the Administrative Reform Group under the Democratic System with the King as the Head of State wishes to reaffirm that it has no intention to become the administrators of the country.

The administrative power under the democratic system with the king as the head of the state will be returned to the Thai people as quickly as possible in order to maintain peace and order and preserve national stability, as well as to uphold the beloved institution of the monarchy of all the Thai people.

what if your president or prime minister sneak all the national fund into their own pocket, you will let that happen? let your country go down the hill?

There's much to be proud of, but stop pretending the problems aren't there and that Thailand can continue the way it's going and deal with them effectively. The King has supported another regression in Thai politics, but he's not the only problem in this specific situation. It's widespread and permeates the majority Thai mentality. It's going to be fascinating to see what happens. This country is certainly never dull! Let's hope Thailand will do what it needs to and can move forward.

There's enough here with the right approach to see the country develop immensely, but not without transparency in government and a more humble acceptance by Thais in general of the glaring flaws and the need to welcome outside help from countries with far greater experience of building successful democracies, something Thailand has never really had. Accept the elections simply cannot be handled properly by this country, as has been proven time and time again, and let the EU in.
