Paetongtarn Shinawatra, the daughter of former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, will be nominated as the country’s new prime minister in a parliamentary vote, her party and its coalition partners said Thursday.
The move follows the removal of former Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin by court order over an ethical violation a day earlier.
Yeah, that’s more or less what I’ve seen in articles recently. Also, contextually, I know the previous king was (imo rightly) beloved by most Thais, as he HUGELY improved the average quality of life and did a bunch of modernization, and his son (the current king) is just a vapid playboy asshole who goes through wives like new cars.
