The "elites" felt threatened by the fast gaining populality of Thoxin and came up with a plan to over-throw him. Discrediting him and digging out records of his "corruptions" and abuse of "power" (which are prolly true btw but who isn't guilty in the history of Thailand?) to convince the people the overthrown is necessary. Finally came the 2006 coup. It was a "peaceful" coup by the millitary and they thought thats it for Thoxin's reign but who knows "the people" still elected Thoxin's "puppet", "The chef".
The "elites" were horrified and concluded the majority of "the people" are "navie" (aka stupid) and "easily suay with money" (which is kinda true since current "terrorist" group are paid to be there as well) and shouldn't be allowed to vote. Thus the continuous effort to discredit the "government" (aka PPP).
The present leaders of the "terrorist" group are no siants themselves. One was an ex-leader of "the turks" during the massacre of "students" now turned holy man and the other was an ex-Thoxin ally turned enemy because "bro won't help me become billionaire!". So why aren't the police and army doing anything about the present "terrorist situation"? One claimed "Oh! We shouldn't use violence against
"Oh! We shouldn't use violence against peaceful protestors!" while the other claimed "Oh! We don't interfere with polictics!" So who are the "elites"?
You go think about that.

puppet or no puppet, fear of losing power is one thing but allowing havoc to actually harm or cripple your own economy even at the expense of gaining power but yet without any ideal "elite" person to take over is another issue
even if tat guy is old and his son is a useless playboy bum (from wat i heard), then you cant blame those tat support the capable those tat actually help stimulate their economy. Would u agree with me that Thailand enjoy the most florishing economy only in Thaksin's era but their economy went down ever since after he was removed from power regardless of corruption or eating money, he actually did something to help the poor...
