Interesting Fact

There has been a lot of interesting political activity in Thailand recently and I'm not about to summarize it all (I'll attempt to do that at a later point), however, I have come across an interesting fact.

Interesting Fact: King Bhumibol (the current King of Thailand) has seen 24 prime ministers, 18 coups and 17 constitutions during his 61-year reign.

That puts a lot of the recent political activity into perspective. There has been so much fuss and debate and protesting over the current draft of the new constitution, the new prime minister and the coup that I can't imagine having been around for more than one or two of these political re-shuffles. But it has been interesting.
