HeadlineAug 29, 2025

Thailand’s Constitutional Court has removed Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra from office. She was found guilty of ethics violations over a phone call to Cambodia’s former leader. In a leaked recording of the call, she criticized the Thai military’s conduct in clashes with Cambodia last month. Paetongtarn is the fifth prime minister since 2008 to be removed from office by Thailand’s top court.
