Tens of thousands of protesters rallied in Bangkok, braving monsoon rains to demand the resignation of Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra. The protests arose from dissatisfaction with her management of an escalating border dispute with Cambodia, particularly concerning a historic temple. Tensions heightened after a leaked phone call revealed her perceived submissiveness to Cambodia's leadership. Protest leaders argue that Paetongtarn's actions exacerbate the situation and call for her resignation, marking significant civil unrest against the Shinawatra family.
"She should step aside because she is the problem," said Parnthep Pourpongpan, one of the protest leaders, emphasizing widespread discontent over the Prime Minister's actions.
Protesters chanted 'Ung Ing, get out,' denoting their demand for the resignation of Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra amidst a significant border dispute.
The border conflict escalated over a historic Buddhist temple, with protesters critical of Paetongtarn's handling of the situation leading to national unrest.
A leaked phone call with Cambodia's Hun Sen sparked further outrage, with critics accusing her of undermining Thailand's military and compromising its stance.
