Despite the suspension, Paetongtarn will retain her position as Minister of Culture, which is not affected by the current proceedings.

This is exactly why she took over as Minister of Culture rather than allowing another person to do it as happens normally. She knew she would be taken out as PM. But now she still has a foot in the door

And the merry go round starts all over again 

The hidden hands of the wealthy Thai establishment families begin their signature slow-moving trainwreck towards a military coup or a court-coup to ensure the establishment families wealth and influence remain sure-footed and without any external or internal threats. It's as predictable as rain in October.

Soon we can relax again . . .

past tense is correct he ruled Cambodia  his position now is President of the Senate of Cambodia, not Prime minister The current prime minister since 2023 is Hun Manet.

 

Hun Manet is his son. He is a controlling dad, so he is in control.

Prayuth handled Covid better than just about every Western country. Those of us in Thailand retained more freedom and mobility than did Americans or most Europeans. He also left Immigration pretty much untouched and stable, which is important to me. He didn't put a tax on overseas income or remittances. And anyone who remembers right before 2014, when reds and yellows were throwing ping pong bombs and drive-bys were starting to occur, or even earlier in 2010, when the city center burned, then they'll realize he also stabilized social unrest and may have prevented a civil war.

Covid was a while ago and I can remember back to 1993 when I first came to Thailand to work.

 

What was in the part now is still in the past.

 

If Prayuth was such a great leader as you claim, why was he not a member of ANY winning political party, why did he NOT get enough votes to be elected as an MP. After all the UTN was created especially for him to become elected and become the PM.

 

That didn't turn out so well did it?

 

Come out of the stolen past, and into the real present and the uncertain future of Thailand.

I say lock up the whole family there all gready lieing two faced criminals and should be thrown in prison before they get on there private jets and pissss of......... Mr Pita was voted into the job by the people of Thailand he should be given a chance to represent his people.

Not sure how serious this charge is for ordinary Thais. She obviously said the army commander was on the opposite side of the political spectrum (i.e, not a Pheu Thai supporter), but language that critics argue undermines national sovereignty, the military, and the people of Thailand doesn't involve the whole of the military or the entire population of Thailand, let alone sovereignty. Sounds like making mountains out of molehills. Further, it was a private call, so whoever made an audio copy and released it should be let go as untrustworthy.

Here in Australia it does not matter whether it's a Prime Minister. State Premier or a public servant.  Our ASIO has the authority, and legal right, to phone tap, and so they should. Taps at that higher level only get approval if they can justify it to a higher level judge. In the case of your Thai Prime Minister and her father that would be easy peasy here to get approval.

We can only compare the present to the past. Here's another smarter and better move by Prayuth: during his time as PM he balanced Thai foreign policy far more effectively between the US and China. He knew how to navigate, from the broader situation to fine detail. Even details such as sending congratulations from the Thai Embassy to the US for July the Fourth Independence Day. The pro-Beijing Shins of course didn't bother to do so.

So doing better than some countries over Covid and congratulating the USA about the 4th of July are Prayuth's high points according to you.

 

Yet committing an illegal military coup, stealing the entire country at gunpoint, tearing up and re-writing the legal constitution doesn't seem to matter, interfering with the proper election process which was ongoing doesn't seem to matter to you either.

 

NEVER being punished for any of this  does matter to me.

 

Prayuth was a failure from the start and always has been.

 

He didn' even get elected at a legal election, even though a political party, the UTN was created especially for him.

Well, he did take the country backwards.

Both in terms of democracy and economy.

Her father who left the country for 15 years blew back in his private jet after partying in Cambodia staying in a luxury suite for six months free stealing billions of dollars and the sister who received a dollar from our scheming and fled the country one or two days before actual sentencing and now his daughter is being suspended how shocking is this the whole family from the top to the bottom is crap they lie and sheet and steel TIT

Its just a matter of time before some general is prime minister again🤮.
