In the June call\u2014released by Hun Sen himself\u2014Paetongtarn referred to him as \u201cuncle\u201d and criticized the Thai military amid growing border tensions. The disclosure fueled accusations that she had undermined the army and sided with a foreign government.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2220\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2220\" style=\"width: 1486px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2220\" src=\"https:\/\/genesisekucalenimedia.com\/edn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/download.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1486\" height=\"991\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2220\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Judges said her \u201cpersonal relationship\u201d appeared to align her too closely with Cambodia and that her explanation\u2014that she was attempting a personal peace negotiation\u2014was unconvincing. Her conduct, the court said, \u201ccaused the public to cast doubt\u201d on whether she acted in Thailand\u2019s best interest.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p data-start=\"1132\" data-end=\"1334\">Paetongtarn acknowledged the verdict but insisted her intent was to save lives. Weeks after the call, fighting erupted on the Thai-Cambodia border, killing dozens and displacing hundreds of thousands.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1336\" data-end=\"1606\">Her removal marks the fifth time since 2008 that a Thai prime minister has been ousted by the court, and the third Shinawatra to see their premiership cut short. Her father, Thaksin Shinawatra, was toppled in a 2006 coup, while her aunt Yingluck was dismissed in 2014.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1608\" data-end=\"1974\">Paetongtarn entered politics in 2021, quickly rising after her predecessor, Srettha Thavisin, was removed for appointing a cabinet member with a criminal record. But her government\u2019s stability collapsed after its main coalition partner, the conservative Bhumjaithai party, withdrew support over the leaked call, leaving her Pheu Thai party with a fragile majority.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1976\" data-end=\"2167\">Parliament will now select her successor without dissolving the chamber. Leading contenders include Chaikasem Nitisiri, 77, a veteran from Pheu Thai, and Anutin Charnvirakul of Bhumjaithai.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2169\" data-end=\"2367\">The ruling has cast uncertainty over the Shinawatra family\u2019s enduring influence. Though Thaksin has long stepped back from formal politics, his name still loomed large over Thai affairs\u2014until now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Thailand\u2019s Constitutional Court has removed Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra from office, throwing the country into fresh political turmoil&hellip;","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2221,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":0,"csco_display_header_overlay":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[24,30],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2219","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-future","category-world","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
