October 2016 update request

The king has died, and the recent history section still mentions an August 2016 constitutional election as if it has not yet happened. Some updates are needed. -- SEWilco (talk) 14:53, 13 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thailand as a Middle Power (25.11.2016)

There is a new book on the market that has a big chapter on Thailand as a middle power in Asia and its relations to the United States and China since the end of the Cold War. I would like to add some details from the book chapter to the Wiki article, but editing is prohibited. Can anyone please include at least the bibliographical info on the book?

In the second paragraph of the section on Ethnic Groups it says '...make up approximately 20,650,000 million (34.1 percent) of the nation's population of 60,544,937[126] at the time of completion of the...'. The word 'million' is obviously not needed here. Remove the word 'million'. 81.135.61.173 (talk) 22:11, 1 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
