Thai PM Reshuffles Cabinet Amid Cambodia Crisis

News summary

Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra is proceeding with a cabinet reshuffle after the Bhumjaithai Party's exit left her coalition with a shaky majority. The crisis intensified following a leaked phone call with former Cambodian leader Hun Sen, in which Paetongtarn was accused of undermining Thailand and insulting the military amid a border dispute. Despite facing calls for resignation and a possible Constitutional Court case that could remove her from office, she has maintained support from remaining coalition partners. Key changes include Defence Minister Phumtham Wechayachai moving to the Interior Ministry and Gen Sunai Prabhuchane likely becoming defence minister. The government has responded to the crisis with tit-for-tat trade restrictions and increased scrutiny at the Cambodian border. The cabinet reshuffle is expected to be finalized by Friday, with officials promising unity and a new approach.
