Thailand’s post-election scenarios: Bloodless revolution or contested control?
Thailand held its general elections recently on 14 May, where the opposition beat the incumbent pro-military coalition.

The people of Thailand have signalled a desire for change – which is by no means a guaranteed outcome – but investors should already be preparing for the impacts and opportunities to come.
Angela Mancini, Partner, speaks with Harrison Cheng, Director and South East Asia Lead Analyst to find out how businesses should prepare themselves in the short and medium term.
