Firstly, a detailed and critical account of the historical and political relationship will be elucidated to examine Thailand’s institutional development as well as the interconnection between the military coup and the insertion of the National Council of Peace and Order (NCPO) as the new government administration. Secondly, the thesis will look at Thailand’s energy situations, including its future challenges; investigating the historical paths that have resulted in the establishment of the Thailand Integrated Energy Blueprint.
