He now serves as the chief advisor of the King of Thailand, Bhumibol Adulyadej. He played a key role in the 2006 Thai coup d'état, which ousted Thaksin Shinawatra, as well as in the appointment of the post-coup Parliament and Interim Government of Surayud Chulanont. School changed its name to Three Generation. Www.threegeneration.org and only the initials PT represent the name Prem Tinsulanonda.
