	History of Thailand (1768-1932) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		From 1768 to 1932 the area of modern Thailand was dominated by Siam, an absolute monarchy with capitals briefly at Thonburi and later at Rattanakosin, both in modern-day Bangkok.
		This was obviously unpopular among the officials, and was one of the trigger events for the coup of 1932.
		On June 24, 1932, while the king was holidaying at the seaside, the Bangkok garrison mutinied and seized power, led by a group of 49 officers known as "the Promoters." Thus ended 150 years of Siamese absolute monarchy.

	History of Thailand since 1973 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The arrival of communist regimes on Thailand’s borders, the abolition of the 600-year-old Lao monarchy, and the arrival of a flood of refugees from Laos and Cambodia, swung public opinion in Thailand back to the right, and conservatives did much better in the 1976 elections than they had done in 1975.
		In March 1992, the military strongman General Suchinda Kraprayoon accepted the invitation from a coalition of parties to become Prime Minister, in effect breaking a promise he had made earlier to the King and confirming the widespread suspicion that the new government was going to be a military regime in disguise.
		However, the Thailand of 1992 was not the Siam of 1932.
