The PM, Thaksin Sinawat, he was very popular for a long time but was recently found to be corrupt. This triggered national protests, so he pulled an election real quick before the opposition could get their stuff together, which just pissed people off more.
There's also a low-level Muslim insurgency down south, and the government has been critized for violently overreacting to some stuff.
“Finally I am coming to the conclusion that my highest ambition is to be what I already am. That I will never fulfill my obligation to surpass myself unless I first accept myself, and if I accept myself fully in the right way, I will already have surpassed myself.” -- Thomas Merton, Journal, October 2, 1958
