Abstract

This study aims to: 1) study the context of the military and Thai politics and 2) examine why the military is successful in Thai society. This study is qualitative research that relies on a documentary study. The document analysis was undertaken by reviewing or evaluating printed and electronic documents. The data were then categorized by using content analysis. The reliability and validity of data were obtained by implementing integrated verification strategies and self-correcting during the study. The results show that: 1) the Thai military and politics have been closely interwoven for a very long period. As a guardian of the throne, the military has adhered firmly to the royal institute as its core ideology to build unity until now. 2) as the protector of the Three Supremacy, the nation, religion, and the royal institution, the military always has its stand in the political arena in seeking righteousness by intervention.
