Thailand

A southeast Asian country that borders Laos, Cambodia, Malaysia and Burma, Thailand lies at the centre of the Indochina Peninsula. A constitutional monarchy ruled by the Chakri dynasty for over a century, democratic processes in the country were interrupted by the overthrow of the Prime Minister in a 2006 military coup, which has led to instability and conflict around subsequent elections. Freedom of expression and the poor standards in the justice system are core human rights concerns, as is the prevalence of trafficking of children and sexual exploitation.
