Abstract
IN 1978 PRIME MINISTER Kriangsak Chamanan was able to win widespread support in Thailand for his efforts to improve relations with neighboring Communist states, restore constitutional politics, and improve Thailand's investment climate. In 1979 he lost much of this support. At home he faced a wide range of economic difficulties, and in foreign affairs his efforts to maintain good relations with neighboring states were severely strained by the consequences of the Vietnamese invasion of Kampuchea. At the same time that his government was becoming more vulnerable to criticism, factional shifts in the military and the election of a parliament in April provided his opponents with new opportunities to attack him and his policies.
