		Gen Chatichai's scandal-plagued cabinet had already lost much of its credibility when serious tensions developed with army leaders last year over an incident interpreted as an attempt by one of his most controversial ministers to meddle in military affairs.
		The last straw for the military leaders appears to have been Gen Chatichai's decision to bring in as his deputy defence minister a former army commander and rival to the generals now in charge.
		Gen Chatichai had boarded an aircraft to fly to the northern city of Chieng Mai for an audience with the king when the coup occurred.

		After he led the National Peace-Keeping Council in a coup to topple then-prime minister Chatichai Choonhavan in February 1991, he encouraged a group of politicians to set up the Samakkhitham Party, which gave him the opportunity to take over as the new prime minister without standing for election.
		Chatichai could not take the reins of power again, so his party only sought opportunities to join others in forming coalition governments.
		Chatichai had no deeply rooted political base, as he was only in power for two years and eight months, compared to Thaksin's five years and massive popular support.

		Despite the overwhelming power wielded by the military's Class 5, Chatichai this January allegedly covered up a newly-discovered 1982 plot by renegade army officers from a rival military class to assassinate Prime Minister Prem and the Queen.
		Chatichai, Athit, and a small number of government officials and advisors were briefly detained and released; Chatichai soon flew to exile in Swit- zerland.
		The result: Chatichai's soft approach toward Phnom Penh has led to increased intransigence on the part of the pro-Soviet regime during international talks aimed at resolving the Cambodian war.

		Prime Minister Chavalit Yongchaiyudh's U-turn on the oil tax and his lack of political leverage to muster Cabinet approval for the financial reform package will not only cost Thanong Bidaya his finance job but also push Thailand closer to bankruptcy.
		Chatichai has made it clear that he would like to see sweeping changes in the Cabinet, with his party assuming control of the key economic portfolios.
		Chat Pattana has been fiercely criticised for hijacking the financial reform package, which was supposed to have been approved by the Cabinet on Friday along with five Royal decrees and an amendment to the Revenue Code.

		Since Chavalit has little interest in presiding over the reconstruction of the Thai economy, he has gladly agreed to share some of his power with Chatichai Choonhavan, the Chat Pattana Party leader.
		With the growing prominence of Chatichai in the corridors of power, it is clear that the prime minister's ''divide-and-stay-put" strategy has created a two-tier economic management team one group headed by Finance Minister Amnuay Viravan, and the other led by Chatichai.
		Chatichai's agenda is an enigma because he and his Chat Pattana advisers are good at attending parties and running a growing economy, but not at resurrecting an ailing economy.

		However, this early initiative did not establish a democratic political system; governmental changes were effected primarily by coups and political life was dominated by military and bureaucratic elite.
		In the mid 70’s and 80’s there were some intermittent experiments with democracy that revived civilian democratic political institutions; in 1988 Chatichai Choonhavan - leader of the Thai Nation Party - assumed office as the country's first democratically elected prime minister in more than a decade.
		Chatichai was replaced in three years time through a bloodless coup, supported by the military by Anand Panyarachun, a businessman and former diplomat; who was soon replaced by military commander Suchinda Kraprayoon.

	Oil Pricing: Should There Be a New Direction?
		When General Chatichai's Government took office in August 1988, the world energy situation was favorable; the world oil price had been gradually falling from $17-18 per barrel (in late 1987) toward a $10 per barrel level (in October 1988).
		Although there is an impending need for the Chatichai Government to act on the oil price, the circumstances surrounding the oil situation now are significantly different than those during the previous oil crises.

		Corruption was the main complaint then against the administration of Chatichai Choonhavan, whose Chart Pattana Party (CPP) is No. 2 in the current ruling coalition.
		Perhaps the biggest pressure on the prime minister comes from his partner Chatichai's party, whose backing is crucial to the coalition's survival.
		Chatichai denies he is breathing down Chavalit's neck, and insists he merely wants to lend urgency to the crisis.
