Hundreds protested in Bangkok demanding Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra's resignation following a leaked phone call with Cambodia's Hun Sen. The call, where Paetongtarn reportedly told Hun Sen to ignore a Thai army commander criticizing Cambodia over a border clash, sparked outrage and multiple investigations. The incident has fractured Paetongtarn's coalition government, with the Bhumjaithai Party withdrawing. Protesters, many affiliated with the Yellow Shirts, cited Paetongtarn's perceived weakness in handling the border dispute and the leaked call as reasons for their demand for her resignation. Investigations by the Constitutional Court and anti-corruption agency could lead to her removal from office.
