Report Leaked Call Fuels Fears of Economic Collapse, Thai Business Leaders Warn
Thailand's Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra, centre, leaves after talking to reporters at Government house in Bangkok, Thailand, Thursday, June 19, 2025. (AP Photo/Sakchai Lalit) A leaked audio clip of a call from Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra to Cambodian Senate President Hun Sen has set off alarms across Thailand. Mr. Poj Aramwattananon, chairman of the Thai Chamber of Commerce, expressed concerns that this incident could lead to the collapse of the Thai economy. Channel 7 reported these potential ramifications, suggesting that the timing could not be worse given the current economic turbulence. Thailand is already grappling with multiple crises. Geopolitical tensions, such as the Israel-Iran conflict, and mounting pressures from US tariff hikes exacerbate the financial landscape. The tourism sector remains in recovery, coupled with insufficient government budgets compounding public debt by an additional 150 billion baht. This potent mix is causing unease, particularly within the capital markets, which Mr. Poj labelled as precarious. The leaked call has also delivered a decisive blow to political confidence. With uncertainty looming, there is an urgent need to address this political scandal to restore stability. Inaction or delay could intensify the economic risks, Mr. Poj warned. The possibility of Prime Minister Shinawatra's resignation or a dissolution of the House of Representatives introduces further variables into an already volatile equation. In parallel, Mr. Kriengkrai Thiennukul, chairman of the Federation of Thai Industries, echoed concerns about the impact on business sentiment. The call leak, amid existing border tensions with Cambodia, is feared to depress economic performance further, potentially dragging it below target projections. The stock market reflects these concerns, with the SET Index closing markedly lower at 1,068.73 points, demonstrating a 2.36% decrease. The plummeting stock market was driven by decreased confidence and selling pressures in vital sectors, including service, media, transportation, and logistics. The political uncertainty amplifies existing economic challenges, fuelling a precarious atmosphere for Thailand's financial future. Adapted by ASEAN Now from Thai Newsroom 2025-06-20 -

Accident Death of Teen Motorcyclist After High-Speed Crash Into Barrier in Chachoengsao
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A 17-year-old boy was killed instantly in a motorcycle accident late night on 18 June, after losing control of his bike and crashing into a concrete barrier in Bang Pakong district, Chachoengsao province. Police Lieutenant Weerawat Khunsuk, deputy investigation officer at Bang Pakong Police Station, said he received reports of the crash at around 22:30. The incident occurred on the inbound side of Bang Na–Trat Road at kilometre marker 43 in Moo 2, Bang Samak subdistrict. Emergency services and police arrived at the scene to find the body of the teenager, identified only as “A” for privacy reasons, lying face-up in a pool of blood in the middle of the road. His Honda Giorno motorcycle was found approximately 100 metres away, damaged with scrape marks across its left side body work. Skid marks and a large scrape on a roadside barrier indicated the point of impact. A nearby sedan, which was also involved in the incident, had minor damage and the female driver was waiting to give her statement to police. The driver of the car, Ms. Rudeekorn 34, said she was driving home and travelling in the right lane when she caught a glimpse of the motorcycle approaching from behind at high speed. Moments later, the bike veered out of control, crashed into the barrier and slid into her vehicle. Initial investigations suggest that the motorbike struck the barrier at high speed, causing the rider to be thrown from the vehicle and suffer fatal injuries on impact. Police documented the scene and took photographs for the case record. Ms. Rudeekorn was taken to the police station for further questioning. The body of the deceased was transferred by rescue workers to the Police General Hospital. Adapted by Asean Now from Khoasod 2025-06-20 -
