Thailand does not focus on multiculturalism and never has. Instead, the policies of the government are those of assimilation. As a result, even though Thailand is a diverse nation, it is perceived both nationally and internationally as Southeast Asia's most ethnically homogeneous nation, with diversity contributing to the nation's unity.

Yes! He killed more than a hundred opposition protesters in over 2 months. If not a dictator, he is a certain tyrant. His government didn't even came in the correct way. His party only had 165 seats out of 480 seats. At first the PPP (People's Power Party) of the late Samak Sundaravej formed a government with his 233 seats and seats from other parties. Samak was put out of office only a few months after entering office. He was charged for being a chef on a television program. Later Somchai Wongsawat ( Samak's Deputy) formed the same government with him as Prime Minister. The PPP would later be banned because Yongyuth Tiyapairat would be alleged of corruption, reducing the party's successor, the Pheu Thai Party, to only 189 seats. However, this is still more than the democrat. The PTP was left with only 189 seats because the controversial Bhumjaithai Party have about 21 MPs that splitted from the PTP. The corruption case is normal in Thailand. The Democrats are the party that have done most of the corruption in Thailand, but nobody seems to care just because they are the " Democrats". He came to power in an unlegit way, and he kills people who doesn't agree with him. He even shut down opposition radio and TV stations, and prevent the opposition demonstrators and opposition parties to do any financial activities. Is he a Dictator? I say yes, what do you say...
