Explanation:

Thailand is a constitutional monarchy. The king is the head of the state and a symbol of the nation's unity, history and identity. Though he has many privileges and is practically untouchable, the political system is parliamentary, that is, Parliament chooses a prime minister after each election. The army is a powerful political player in Thailand, too.
