"The military might be pushed to take side."

I am poorly informed as to Thai governance and it's political history, but vaguely aware it is a Monarchy, and only due to my geographical interest generally able to place it on a map. However, my recollection is that from time to time military intervention is undertaken in Thailand, and it is because of the staunch support of the military that Thailand maintains it's monarchy. I recall reading some years ago that the majority of the Thai people supported the last intervention of the military into Thai political affairs.
