10. Thailand 2006 and 2014

Thailand, an otherwise peaceful country, is a nation that is so often polarized by politics. The country has seen recent military coups in 2006 and 2014, during which martial law was imposed. The military say they have imposed the two most recent coups because of widespread corruption, although some people believe it is down to political bias.

The two latest coups in Thailand have largely been peaceful affairs, with no real need for crackdowns. Life has largely gone on even in the presence of soldiers on the streets, although there have been reports of alleged dissidents being detained. Military rule was lifted in Thailand in 2019 after elections, but an undercurrent of political unease still remains.
