I think Thailand would be in a much better place if HE had the power, instead of the corrupt leaders who were "elected" into power, but unfortunately that will never happen, and he's probably not going to make it much longer. Every Thai household has a picture of the king... can you imagine doing that with your current country's leader?!
Thailand is exactly the country I was thinking of when I was talking about monarchy. The people there genuinely love their king, he even starts fashion crazes if he appears in a new colour of clothing.
