On May 15, 2023, there was a clear winner in Thailand’s election – the Move Forward party came through with three times the vote of the leading government party. The people of Thailand, led by the youth, came out in a move against the ruling elite. But to claim power, Move Forward must also win a vote in Thailand’s senate, appointed by the military. Now that Thailand has voted for change, will the country have the opportunity to see it through?
