New sheriff in town: Defence Minister Sutin Klungsang leads a press conference during a visit to the Royal Thai Armed Forces headquarters in October.
Defence Minister Sutin Klungsang shows he has what it takes to blend in and work with the military despite having no military background.
He does not pose a threat to the military as the ties between the ruling Pheu Thai Party and the armed forces appear to be more relaxed, partly because Pheu Thai has befriended the military and conservative groups to prevent the Move Forward Party from coming to power, according to political pundits.
