The story is far from over. The Crown Prince has probably made a deal with the current Junta, so he should be installed. But what happens after that is totally unclear. This is because the Crown Prince has no moral authority from the people and he appears unable to change his bad character which makes him totally unfit to be King, particularly after taking over from such a massive 'semi divine' figure like his father (all created and manufactured but still believed by the people). Another unknown factor is Thaksin and more importantly the consequence of his time as PM, that is opening pandora's box and finally enabling the majority peasants to have a 'voice' which was previously shut off by the Bangkok elites (army and royalty/aristocracy). Interestingly enough, I heard that when Thaksin was PM he was actually getting close to the Crown Prince and even cleared the Crown Prince's massive gambling debts afew times.
