Will thailand ever know democracy when king-religion-nation dominate the continuous brainwashin

Arguably Thailand has never known democracy since the monarchy lost its absolute power over the kingdom in 1932. And ever since that year individuals and groups have been fighting for control, by manipulating the people, and it goes all the way to the top. At the beginning it was the people behind the king, then it was business men, and then it was the U.S.A, and the Chinese. But the only thing that has lasted over those years is greed, and the attempts by these individuals to cheat people out of more and more money. Now to be honest the Monarchy have to side with the military cause if the shit hits the fan who else is going to protect them, so you can understand where they have been coming from, no king or queen have survived without being closely linked to the military. But in a country where the military have so much power, it can be dangerous, and a virus for any government, and many students and protestors have died trying to question, and in the name of democracy, an institution in which many people will loose money and power. So who really wants democracy in Thailand?
Its not the monarchy or the rich. Its certainly not the military. It's the people who are working each and everyday for very poor wages, and in very poor conditions, its these people that will benefit the most, but these people have no power, and many are just happy with what they have got, which has come around as kind of catch 22 for the king and the ones who wish to control the country, because without a desire to be rich, the is no real desire to work any harder than you or your family needs. But they are also happy to just bow down and follow one man.
So will Thailand ever Know democracy?
And not to forget that I'm sure corruption exists in every country and in all governments, but it is far from the eye and very well hidden, and maybe naively, not so common. Thou here people openly offer bribes and broadcast the fact they will pay for votes, and there never has been a government that's survived a term without the leader or half is party being totally thrown out because of its dirty deeds. So is it possible? Many people try to blame education, poverty, western ideals in the east, but really all people should be able to live freely, now if democracy is not working, then what is wrong with a monarchy which now all people bow down to, if he is just and honest, compassionate and understanding At least people listen, and follow what he says. Ignorance is bliss only for the ignorant. But in a country where so many are so happy with nothing, mainly cause that's how they have been trained for so long, you really cant expect them to change so quickly. And in a country where politics is business and only the rich can be politicians, its no wonder that democracy has never grown to anything more than rigged elections, false hopes and broken promises.
