General Prem Tinsulanonda ((タイ語:เปรม ติณสูลานนท์); ; IPA:(:prēːm tīn.ná.sǔː.lāː.nōn); born August 26, 1920) is a retired Thai military officer who served as Prime Minister of Thailand from March 3, 1980 to August 4, 1988. He now serves as the Head of the Privy Council of the King of Thailand, Bhumibol Adulyadej. In the Thai political crisis of the 2000s, he was accused by deposed prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra and his supporters of being a mastermind of the 2006 coup〔 as well as in the appointment of the post-coup legislature and Interim Government of Surayud Chulanont.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Former Thai PM Prem Tinsulanonda had key role in coup - analysts )〕 The military junta that ousted the legally occupying Thaksin denied that Prem had any important political role.〔 〕 Prem, as the Chief of the Privy Council, is a leader in promoting King Bhumibol's ideologies and royal projects though he has sometimes represented himself as being the voice of the king. He has always urged Thai society to follow the king's advice and has himself founded several welfare projects related to education, drug suppression, poverty, and national unity. A southerner, Prem has also dealt personally with trying to resolve the South Thailand insurgency. ==Education, military, and political career== Born in Songkhla Province in the south of Thailand, Prem was the son of ''Luang'' Winittantagum (Bueng Tinsulanonda) und Odd Tinsulanonda and had seven siblings. His father was the warden of Songkhla prison, and Prem jokingly claimed to have spent most of his childhood in prison. Prem attended Maha Vajiravudh Secondary School in Songkhla, followed by Suankularb Wittayalai School in Bangkok. He entered the Royal Thai Army Academy (now Chulachomklao Royal Military Academy) in 1941. A distinguished Army officer, he entered politics in 1959, as a member of the Constitution Drafting Committee. From 1968 to 1971 he was a Senator, in 1972–73 was a Member of Parliament, and in 1976 was appointed to the Advisory Council of Prime Minister Tanin Kraivixien. Under Prime Minister Kriangsak Chomanan, he was Deputy Interior Minister in 1977–78 and Minister of Defence from 1979 to 1986. General Prem is famous for initiating the negotiations with the members of the Communist Party of Thailand. Consequently, an amnesty was declared and many communist members – including former student protesters – returned home. This helped end the fighting between the government and communist guerrillas in 1980s. Prem is single and has once declared to be "married" to the Army. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Prem Tinsulanonda」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
