Foreign Minister Don Pramudwinai has the perception that the best political system for Thailand is the one that maintains peace and order - but his foreign counterparts outside Asean disagree. (Bangkok Post file photo)The military government seems to believe the ideal political system has something to do with its ability to maintain peace and order. That is clearly not the case. Such a misconception was reflected in recent remarks by Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha and his point man in the government hierarchy. Foreign Minister Don Pramudwinai told the media upon his return from the 32nd Asean Summit in Singapore that other countries, both from within Asean and elsewhere, expressed no concerns about Thailand's roadmap to democracy or the political climate in the country.
