'His death would plunge the country back into political crisis'

The Thai King is in poor health — and that could pose risks to the country's political and economic situation.

Palace officials recently stated that King Bhumibol Adulyadej's health is "not stable," and that he was being prepped for haemodialysis, which is used to treat kidney failure.

"The failing health of the king adds another layer of uncertainty to an already highly unpredictable situation," argued Capital Economics' Krystal Tan and Gareth Leather in a note. 

The situation "poses a key risk to the country’s economy. His death would plunge the country back into political crisis, which in turn could push the economy into recession."

    The kings health has been very poor for years, so no new news.    His kids are arogant, vapid dilitantes with no political, military or popular following.   So, yes, when he actually doess die the country will continue as it is now.     A strict military dictatorship.   Only change will be an even tighter stranglehold by the generals.   Ala Myanmar - actually BURMA.

    Might be a few riots, demonstrations for awhile, but those will be put down by gunfire and life will continue as is for years.

       So, really, walk on by, nothing to see here.   samo samo

I may disagree with some things "Thailand". But, I do wish the King a very long life.
