Thai Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha on Monday formally resigned as the head of the military government after seizing power in coup in 2014.
This occurs after five-years of military rule and Prayuth stated in a televised address to the nation that the military rule brought success in many areas from fixing the problem of illegal fishing to human trafficking.
He further stated that Thailand will now function as a fully democratic country with a constitutional monarchy and an elected parliament.
