Thailand's Political Turmoil: Paetongtarn Shinawatra's Stand amidst Crisis

Thailand Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra announced she will not resign or dissolve parliament despite increasing unrest. A senior official from the Pheu Thai party confirmed her determination to stay the course amid the ongoing political crisis affecting Southeast Asia's second-largest economy.

Tourism Minister Sorawong Thienthong stated on Facebook that, despite rising calls for her resignation over a border dispute with Cambodia, Shinawatra remains committed to resolving national issues. "The government confirms its intention to continue working without resignation or dissolution," he expressed.

The recent leak of a phone call between Shinawatra and Cambodia's former leader Hun Sen has added fuel to the fire, prompting the Bhumjaithai Party to withdraw support. As political pressure mounts, activists are organizing a protest in Bangkok, demanding her resignation. Shinawatra, however, has yet to comment publicly on the situation.
