Politics Leak Scandal: Thai PM Faces Court Suspension
File photo for reference only In a significant political turn, Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra has been suspended by the Constitutional Court. This suspension follows the leaking of a private conversation between her and Cambodian Senate President Hun Sen, which raised questions about her political ethics. The audio, which surfaced on 18 June, captured Ms Paetongtarn criticising the Second Army Region commander and appearing to concede to demands from Hun Sen. As tensions along the Thai-Cambodian border escalated, the leaked conversation ignited fierce backlash. A group of senators, led by General Sawat Tatsana, petitioned the court, accusing her of breaching political ethics and seeking her ousting. On 1 July, the court decided to suspend Ms Paetongtarn from her duties, pending the case's review. In the interim, she has taken over as Culture Minister. Both she and National Security Council secretary-general Chatchai Bangchuad are set to testify on 21 August, with a court ruling expected on 29 August. Ms Paetongtarn faces a critical decision: step down now or await the court's verdict. The political ramifications are vast, with the Pheu Thai Party determined to maintain power. If Ms Paetongtarn resigns, the cabinet would dissolve, triggering a new prime ministerial selection process. In this case, the party would likely put forward Chaikasem Nitisiri as its candidate. However, recent political shifts, such as the withdrawal of the Bhumjaithai Party, which holds 70 seats, have weakened Pheu Thai's grip, making internal and external negotiations complex. Resigning could be perceived as taking responsibility and might prevent a guilty verdict from the court. However, staying and winning a favourable ruling would reinforce Pheu Thai’s position. The party has historically faced legal challenges, often losing due to "lawfare," tactics used by opponents since its founding in 2007. A ruling against Ms Paetongtarn would lead to her removal for ethical misconduct, possibly resulting in a lifetime political ban by the National Anti-Corruption Commission. Should this occur, Pheu Thai may still support Mr Chaikasem as prime minister, but public confidence could waver due to the succession of expelled leaders, following the ousting of Srettha Thavisin. The situation could also pave the way for a new political alliance. A coalition party might shift allegiance to join the opposition, led by the People's Party, potentially forming a government with Bhumjaithai's support. In such a scenario, Bhumjaithai leader Anutin Charnvirakul is poised to become the sole prime ministerial candidate, highlighting the fluidity and unpredictability of Thai politics. As the situation unfolds, all eyes remain on the Constitutional Court's upcoming decision, which could reshape the nation's political landscape. The implications for governance and party alliances will undoubtedly influence Thailand's political trajectory in the coming months. Adapted by ASEAN Now from Bangkok Post 2025-08-18 -

Chris and Ray's motorbike ride north august 2025.
Day 4. Tak to Chiang Mai On arriving I ate some bad food, which knocked me out for the rest of the day until this morning. https://www.relive.com/view/vJOKz1ywgwv Day 5. Chiang Mai – Samoeng – Doi Pui Ride This morning, we decided to ride the Samoeng Loop. At the start we stopped at the bottom of the ride up to Loha Prasat Sri Mueng Pong. After a few photos we were stopped as no motorbikes are allowed up! Crazy. We rode to the nearby White Pavillion. From here we continued to the Samoeng Viewpoint to take photos before riding back to the city and up to Doi Pui. Great views and skies today. Writing this now, Google maps is down, so no location points. https://www.relive.com/view/vQvxWXnwK9q -

Best method to remain in Thailand 30-90 days post divorce?
If your current wife extension is not expired, and you have not gotten the divorce by the Judge / Ampur, and you have the added 400,000 baht. Switch to Non- O retirement visa. The procedure takes a day, once you have all their paperwork. They will asked "why" tell them less hassle, and no consideration stamp. "DO NOT TELL THEM YOU ARE GETTING DIVORCE" Once divorced, go to your Embassy get an letter of affidavit, of your passport, get the letter translated into Thai. Take all that the Ampur required and get your divorce certificate and register your divorce. You are done. -
