I think the headline is misleading. The PPP has actually put forward Thammanat as a candidate for a government post, so it's not a question of Prawit or him. Seems like Prawit backed down. Originally he wasn't going to back him. That's why Thammanat had a hissy fit and threatened to take his cronies out of the PPP. Ung Ing would be mad to go anywhere near him. And everybody knows it.

Silly me, I thought the Cabinet was chosen by the PM and the ruling coalition, not by retired ex-convict grandfathers.

Simple solution is avoid both

 

POrawit because of his past watched\s as well as the pending assault case against him

 

Thammnat because whether it happened in the country or outside, he shows a lack of ethics.

 

Let's face it: It is not as if the PPRP is going to run to join forces with the opposition. Nor are they going to force an election that would be the end of them.

Get the MPs from Thammnat’s fraction to defect and get the democrats in. Be rid of Prawit once and for all

[newnative]

Two odious choices.  Keep looking.

Simply bacause of boredom after 30 years in this country, if I could go back "home" I'd do it but I can't.

Politics in Thailand is popular entertainment so let's have some fun too

[Sydebolle]

Thaksin might want to reconsider his role as grandfather instead while his daughter might be well advised to disregard both dinosaurs.

 

Politically unable and nothing but a nuisance giving Thailand's political face an ugly make-up while the clownery of these two self-centered crooks remains an utter embarrassment to the country and its people. 

But maybe the script reads something completely different; stay tuned for an exciting autumn 😉

[SABloke]

Wait, isn't he barred from being involved (publicly at least) in politics?? Is this just some <deleted> show to create an excuse for a party dissolution and then a coup? (party gets dissolved and army takes over but Thaksin is allowed to remain in country)

Consider that the Dems joining with PTP would be the end of the party not going to happen as to thammnat they owe him too much.

Thailand's Former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra is on the brink of a critical decision

The only critical decision that criminal should be making is if he should look out the window or lie on his cell's bed.

I get emotional about the crook because he destroyed the Thailand I loved with his greed and corruption. It never recovered, IMO.

Dems are a spent force anyways

20+ seats in the last elections they can’t even be considered a force

We want Toady....

Welcome to a year in Tony's life from exile to prison, to released in a day, to at death's door, to parole, to organizing the fall of the elected party, to sacking off the PM, to installing his daughter as the defecto one, to now making decisions of who goes where ..the most  to the most corrupt country laid bare .

 

You've been hearing about the UK's two tier Kier, this is Thailand's Ten tier Tony  🤔

[fondue zoo]

So have they kicked  Palang Pracharath from government coalition?

There were some rumblings yesterday.

The challenge would be that there are too many people that are red and yellow that remember what it was like. So for these parties to join would be the death of both. As it will show how desperate they both are to cling to relevancy

Yes, according to who gave him the permission.

Reconciliation 

If old enemies are willing to work together for the good of Thailand they voters will know

Thammanart will have to make his brother a nominee minister, if he is offered anything due to the new found concern about ministers' ethical backgrounds.

Amazing Thailand where politicians govern by proxies 

I wonder if  anyone would nominate their grandmother

Further to previous comment quoting an example that might get you inerested (Thai tax), it seems that it might, I say might, have been prohetic. I have just watched a video by Integrity Legal published an hour ago. Title is 'Thai Tax News' subtitle 'New Thai tax....requiring all foreigners..."
