Paetongtarn Shinawatra, Thailand's new Prime Minister at 37, is carving her own path in Thai politics, continuing the Shinawatra family's legacy while injecting fresh dynamism into her role.

 

As the daughter of former Prime Minister Thaksin and niece of the country's first female Premier Yingluck, the expectations were colossal. Yet, within six months of assuming office, Paetongtarn has emerged as a figure of steady resolve and innovative leadership.

 

Following the Constitutional Court's removal of her predecessor, Srettha Thavisin, due to legal controversies, Paetongtarn stepped into the role with a strong mandate, approved by the House of Representatives last August.

 

Her leadership style, marked by pragmatic decision-making and clear vision, has already secured her a spot on Forbes' "100 World's Most Powerful Women 2024", placing her third in Asia.

 

One of her significant challenges has been responding to the recent severe floods. Her government's agile and compassionate handling of the crisis has garnered praise, highlighting her capacity to balance empathy with action.

Alongside disaster management, Paetongtarn has supported policies initiated by her predecessor, ensuring continuity in government initiatives such as the popular 10,000-baht cash handout scheme (approximately £228), aimed at boosting economic stability.

 

She has also acted decisively in tackling transnational crime, with economic sanctions against human trafficking networks on the Thai-Myanmar border. This bold move has strengthened Thailand's international relations, notably enhancing ties with China, which praised her government's robust anti-scamming efforts.

 

Remarkably, Paetongtarn has managed to juggle her demanding political role while being a mother to two children—demonstrating her ability to balance personal and professional obligations seamlessly.

 

Her prioritisation of initiatives targeting economic growth and social equality, such as the 30-baht healthcare programme and a three-year debt relief for farmers, underscores her commitment to inclusive development.

 

As a "Gen-Y" leader, Paetongtarn prides herself on data-driven and legally sound policymaking, striving to bridge traditional politics with modern governance techniques. Her approach focuses on pragmatic reforms aimed at unifying Thailand's diverse demographic base.

 

The journey ahead for Paetongtarn is not without challenges; divisive issues remain which demand nuanced approaches. Nonetheless, her initial months have set a promising precedent for innovative leadership, potentially transforming her into a unifying figure capable of steering Thailand towards a prosperous future.

 

In doing so, she strives to refine and redefine her family's political narrative, truly making the Shinawatra name her own, reported Bangkok Post.

Yeah, yeah, yeah sounds like a load of BS

Who makes up this BS ??? she is as bad as her Aunt

[SunnyinBangrak]

Reads like a paid advert? Bangkok post editors need to give their heads a wobble. Nobody thinks this girls is the PM or makes any decisions beyond wardrobe choices.

Puff piece.

This is surely a joke is it not? If the topic of this article is actually the case why is it that the name we hear most is Thaksin.

Not from the people though. Indeed this entire corrupt farce of a coalition government is there without a mandate from the people.

Puff and spin, almost every politician ever, par for the course.

Who wrote that 💩

[spidermike007]

A PR puff piece for this hapless administration. She has accomplished next to nothing. That entire family is so toxic at this point. They hoped her youth would fool people into thinking that she was progressive. She is just a younger dinosaur. 

 

She is moving Thailand backwards at a breakneck pace.

Amazing what AI can do with the right prompts.

[thesetat]

Hogwash... she is PM in name only. 

 

if i said more the censors in this site would take it away and block me... 

[jippytum]

Did she write the glowing report herself or pay someone to tell porkies  to disquise she is her Father's mouthpiece

[lordgrinz]

How much money did Bangkok Post make off of the Thaksin clan for publishing this nonsense piece? 

[klauskunkel]

Who is the target audience for this fiction? 

Who is important enough that they need convincing in English language?

That may very well be true, but I would still have her as "PM" rather than the soldier who led an illegal coup and stayed in power for nine years.

Things are worse now than they have ever been, who'd have thought there was someone worse than Prayut and Prawit, but then sideshow Bob (Thaksin) showed up, now this trainwreck is headed off a cliff.

[rudi49jr]

Wow, someone is very obviously trying to get in the Shin clan’s good books. The truth is, however, that there’s just one guy who’s calling the shots. First Thaksin was in power himself, then Yingluck was his puppet and now it’s his daughter, she does whatever her daddy tells he to do. And Thaksin’t first objective was, is and always will be to look out for himself and his clan.

I disagree. I believe that the former PM had a genuine good intent. She was sabotaged and fought at every opportunity by  vested interests. In effect set up to fail.

Correction... Daddy is moving the country backwards... back to a time when he reigned supreme..

Trouble is, the rest of the world has moved on from the Mesozoic period
