Asked about the expectations from the government, the people participating in the survey named better quality of life, welfare and higher income, crackdown on corruption as well as more irrigation for farmers and rising farm prices, the survey claimed.

A total of 1,197 respondents from across Thailand took part in the poll.

Thailand’s current government came into power following a May 22, 2014 military coup nearly a year after a political crisis had led to mass anti-government protests.
