Thailand are professing to be a democracy to the wider world, however it does not appear to be democratic with the 250 installed members of parliament that were never elected just allocated in the constitution so any other party would never get a majority. Freedom of speech is also important in a democracy and the right to protest - that also seems to have been taken away with the repurposing of other laws meant for the monarchy, as soon as the politicians start looking after the government again rather than a clueless military then Thailand can 'move forward'
There is a reason military governments never work out, it doesn't matter how you dress it up to the wider world, they will catch on eventually!
