Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra said protests that forced her to call a snap election earlier this week won’t lead to a military coup like the one that ousted her brother, Thaksin Shinawatra, in 2006.

“I don’t think the military would do that again,” Yingluck said at a briefing in Bangkok yesterday. “Because the past experience doesn’t give any answer.”
