How ironic it is for us in ASEAN to discuss so profusely about getting Myanmar closer to democracy, we failed to stop a democracy from falling back into military rule. (tag)
When I was in Bangkok not too long ago, I witness the symbol of Thai democracy. It stands so proudly in the middle of the city.
I as a citizen of ASEAN wish the people of Thailand a speedy return to democracy. It's only fair for the birthplace of ASEAN to be in a democratic atmosphere.

Coups are the result of a failing democratic system.
This is because no one would support coups if they could simply topple incompetent governments through the ballot box.
Coups are modern day equivalents of warlords waging wars with kings for power.
Hence one of the greatest inventions of modern history: democratic elections.
