Three Thai Prime Ministers in One Turbulent Week

News summary

Thailand has seen three prime ministers in one week after the Constitutional Court suspended Paetongtarn Shinawatra over alleged ethical misconduct involving a leaked call with Cambodia's Hun Sen. Despite her suspension, Paetongtarn remains in the cabinet as culture minister while a lengthy court investigation proceeds. Suriya Jungrungreangkit served as acting prime minister for just one day before Phumtham Wechayachai was sworn in as acting prime minister and interior minister. The rapid reshuffle and Bhumjaithai Party's withdrawal have destabilized the ruling coalition, leaving the government with a slim parliamentary majority. The crisis highlights the enduring controversy around the Shinawatra dynasty and intensifies scrutiny of the government's ability to address economic and political challenges. The ongoing ethics probe is expected to shape the future of Thailand's leadership.
