It's been a whole two weeks since Bhumibol Adulyadej was admitted to Bangkok's Siriraj Hospital, and despite almost daily reports from the Royal Palace claiming that the king is "responding well to treatment", many Thais are anxious for things to change in thailand.
The question asked by today's edition of The Independent newspaper is: will things really change once the Thai king is dead? Many believe a new democratic era will begin in Thailand once the king has died. This is because, despite claims by royalists that king Bhumibol is "above politics", the Thai king is seen by many thais as having blocked democratic change in thailand.
Certainly, one of the principal questions is, will Thailand's former prime minister, Thaksin Shinawatra, return to Thailand upon the thai king's death? Many Thaksin supporters believe he will, because the king's death would remove the main obstacle blocking Mr Thaksin's return to Thailand.
