BANGKOK - Thailand saw its 3rd person helming the prime minister’s office in a week on July 3, as Thai king swore in a new Cabinet after a court decision plunged nation’s top office into turmoil.
The prime minister’s office was plunged into crisis on July 1 when Constitutional Court suspended PM. Ms Paetongtarn Shinawatra, pending an ethics probe which could take months. Power is then passed to Transport Minister and Deputy PM Suriya Jungrungreangkit, who took office for only one full day, as bombshell was dropped in an awkward interim ahead of the reshuffle.

Then!. It is former defence minister Phumtham Wechayachai was sworn in as Interior Minister by Thai king on the morning of July 3, taking on a deputy prime minister role outranking Mr Suriya’s – thus becoming the acting premier. The Thai govt then said in a statement on social media, the new Cabinet approved Mr Phumtham’s role as acting prime minister at its first meeting.

Be4, Ms Paetongtarn was ousted, she assigned herself as role of culture minister in new Cabinet, meaning she has kept a perch in upper echelons of power. The revolving door of leadership comes as the kingdom is battling to revive a spluttering economy to secure a US trade deal, averting US President Donald Trump’s looming threat of a 36 per cent tariff.

Meanwhile Thai latest news: More than 138,000 people have been evacuated from Thailand’s border regions as death toll climbs as Thai-Cambodia clashes continue despite calls for ceasefire. Many had believed that the personal relationship between Mr Thaksin Shinawatra and Mr Hun Sen would maybe able to glue and hold a temp to created a ceasefire between this two very important man. Hope fully the two neighbours can temp...together stop fighting each other. Behind deadly Thai-Cambodian clashes, a bitter spat between two dynastic leaders.
