In the same way every consumer product gets better and better, 100m runners get faster and faster?
It's human nature to improve things.

I live in Bangkok. A difficult city at the best of times. For the last 6 months we've been beseiged by a motly crew of protesters/onlookers and extra noodle sellers. The place has been like the 3rd day of Glastonbury for about 4 months. The police dissapeared for about 4 months. Yeah yeah, they didn't want "to cause confrontation" but at least they could have helped with the fucking chaos. The army have dispersed the protestors and things are starting to get back to normal. It's already better. Not a question of "will it lead" - it has already.
Sure - I can only give my side of the story, and you guys in the country see a different picture. But I tell it how it is - as far as it plays out when and where I am.

I'd like to see reforms to many areas.
I'd like these reforms to be intelligent, modern and sensitive to modern technologies.
I'd like to see this done in a reasonable amount of time in order to fascilitate real democratic elections with no tricks and a properly informed electorate.
I'd like the results to be respected and championed.
But in a sentence, I'd like to see Thailand flourish in all the areas it's lacking, progress quickly and be a big face in the ASEAN gang.
