Tuhia he haere tonu mo tenei whitianga - Ko Thaksin te Pirimia mai i te 2001 ki te 2006, i te wa i peia ai ia e te whakapae i muri i nga whakaekenga a te anti-Thaksin People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD, "Yellow Shirts"). Heoi, i whakahokia mai e ana kaitautoko ki te mana i roto i te pooti hou whai muri i te whakatutukitanga o te kaupapa ture hou i te tau 2007. I whakahe te PAD ki te kawanatanga puta noa i te nuinga o te tau 2008, a, i whakakorehia te roopu rangatira e te Kooti Ture. Ko te roopu Democrat Party, i arahina e Abhisit Vejjajiva, i hanga he kawanatanga, engari i raru ano hoki i nga whakaeke a te roopu Red Shirt i arahina e te United Front for Democracy Against Dictatorship. Na tenei i arahi ki te riri o te ope taua i te Mei 2010. I wikitoria tētahi atu rōpū i hono atu ki a Thaksin i te pōtitanga i te tau 2011, i whakatū i tana tuahine a Yingluck Shinawatra hei Pirimia. I tīmata anō ngā whakaeke ā-kāwanatanga i Whiringa-ā-rangi 2013, ā, i haere tonu tae noa ki te wā i whakatū ai te hōia i tētahi whakatikatika
i te marama o Mei 2014. Ko te kaiarahi Coup Prayut Chan-o-cha i kaha ki te perehitini, me te tirotiro i te aukati i te herekore torangapu i mua i te whakaaetanga i nga pooti i te tau 2019 i raro i te kaupapa ture pro-military, i whakauruhia ano a Prayut hei perehitini.
