Politics Thaksin Accuses Senators of Scheme to Oust PM Paetongtarn
File photo for reference only Former PM Thaksin Shinawatra claims senators aim to oust Paetongtarn amidst voting collusion scandal. In a dramatic turn of events, Thaksin Shinawatra, former Prime Minister of Thailand, has accused a group of senators of plotting to remove his daughter, Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra, from office. Thaksin alleges that this action is a calculated move to derail an investigation into a Senate vote collusion scandal that could implicate them. During a special event marking the Nation's 55th anniversary at the Eastin Grand Hotel Phayathai in Bangkok, Thaksin suggested that the petition filed by 36 senators against Paetongtarn is intricately linked to accusations of vote-rigging in last year's Senate election. He posited that the senators, facing serious allegations themselves, are using this manoeuvre to escape accountability. Senators' Ethics and Motives Under Scrutiny Thaksin has raised questions regarding the ethical integrity of the senators involved. He claims these individuals are themselves embroiled in investigations over vote-rigging and other ethical breaches. Thaksin surmises that the senators aim to destabilise the government by July to avoid incrimination. The Constitutional Court, in response to the senators' complaint, has suspended Paetongtarn from her duties pending a detailed review. Senators accuse her of compromising national security in an alleged call with former Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen, where she supposedly referred to a military commander as being on the “other side.” Independent Bodies and Historical Precedents Highlighting the influence of independent bodies in Thai politics, Thaksin criticised their outsized authority and legitimacy. Citing past instances where parties aligned with him, like Thai Rak Thai and Thai Raksa Chart, were dissolved, he underscored an ongoing struggle against politically motivated actions by these entities. In a related development, Thaksin spotlighted an expanding investigation into vote fraud involving 138 suspects, suggesting affiliations with the Bhumjaithai Party, known for its recent shift from the ruling coalition to the opposition amid a ministerial dispute. Election Commission Denies Imminent Legal Action In another twist, the Election Commission (EC) refuted media speculation about an imminent legal decision regarding the Senate vote-rigging case. The EC clarified that their investigation is still in its preliminary stages, set to finish by 17th July. Any progression to prosecution will follow a detailed, multi-stage procedural review. This unfolding drama underscores ongoing tensions and the complex mechanics at play in Thai politics, as both legal and political battles continue to unfold in the public eye. The stakes remain high as the situation develops further. Adapted by ASEAN Now from The Nation 2025-07-14 -

Crime Former U.S. Soldier Arrested After Disturbance at Pattaya Beer Bar
I've met dozens if not hundreds of language teachers in Thailand and Japan. I'd say about 95% were total losers with no prospects in life beyond merely surviving. Many dumb as a brick. A few decent folks for sure- but those were the exception and actually were able to teach and worked in proper schools/unis. Stereotypes don't come out of a vacuum - there is a reason they are there.- 1
