Thai military secures power after messy election
The Thai military, represented by the Palang Pracharath party, secured power after a contentious election, with General Prayut Chan-o-cha being elected Prime Minister. The military's victory was facilitated by alliances with the Bhumjaithai party, which campaigned on a pro-cannabis platform, and the Democrat Party, which was promised key government positions. General Prayut, who led a coup in 2014, faces challenges as an elected PM without the supreme power of Article 44. The Future Forward party, led by Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit, emerged as a significant political force despite legal attacks. The article highlights ongoing issues in Thailand, including economic struggles, corruption, and doubts about the stability of the current government.

Is Thailand Heading Toward a Coup This Week?
Thailand is experiencing significant political unrest as anti-government protests intensify against caretaker Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra. The protests, driven by opposition to an amnesty bill that could allow former PM Thaksin Shinawatra to return from exile, have led to fears of a military coup. The Royal Thai Army's movements in Bangkok have fueled speculation, despite official claims of routine preparations. Violence has erupted between pro- and anti-government factions, raising concerns of further escalation. The situation is compounded by potential legal actions against lawmakers and the upcoming elections, which the opposition plans to boycott. Internationally, the United Nations is mediating talks to resolve the crisis, while the US Embassy advises caution. The outcome remains uncertain, with the possibility of either a peaceful resolution or further conflict.

Victory by Move Forward in Thailand Could Move ASEAN
The Move Forward Party's victory in Thailand's recent election, led by Pita Limjaroenrat, could significantly impact Southeast Asia, particularly on human rights issues and the Myanmar crisis. Despite the party's success, it must navigate the military-controlled Senate to form a government. The election results reflect a strong desire for democratic change among Thai citizens. Analysts suggest that if Move Forward leads the government, ASEAN's stance on Myanmar may shift, potentially leading to quicker resolutions. The election also highlights regional divides within ASEAN, with differing political and religious affiliations influencing member countries' stances. The outcome may also affect Thailand's foreign policy, particularly its relations with China and the U.S., and could lead to improved conditions for migrant workers in Thailand.

Despite regulatory uncertainty, the economic potential of the cannabis market is attracting both local and foreign investors.

Pheu Thai won’t leave the coalition, no “secret deals”
Pheu Thai Party leader Chonlanan Srikaew has denied rumours of a secret deal to leave the Move Forward coalition and form a government with the Bhumjaithai and Palang Pracharath parties. The party remains committed to supporting Pita Limjaroenrat as prime minister. Despite persistent rumours and public concerns, Chonlanan reaffirmed the party's dedication to the coalition and its democratic mandate. The rumours were fueled by a recent photo of Sretta Thavisin and Anutin Charnvirakul together at a football match, which the party clarified as coincidental.

Silent struggles plague Cambodian refugees in Bangkok
Cambodian refugees in Bangkok face significant challenges, living in precarious conditions without legal protection due to Thailand's non-ratification of the 1951 Refugee Convention. Despite registering with the U.N., refugees like Prak Sophea, Sreymom, and Sok Soeum remain vulnerable to arrest and deportation. Political repression in Cambodia under Prime Minister Hun Manet continues, with little hope for reform in Thailand under the Pheu Thai Party. Human rights organizations criticize the Thai government's collaboration with authoritarian regimes in suppressing dissent. Refugees rely on charity and live in constant fear, highlighting the urgent need for policy changes to protect their rights.

Thailand poised to legalize same-sex marriage after parliament passes bill
Thailand's lower house of parliament has passed a marriage equality bill, potentially making Thailand the first country in South-East Asia to legalize same-sex marriage. The bill received overwhelming support with 400 of 415 lawmakers voting in favor. It now awaits approval by the senate and endorsement by the Thai king. If enacted, Thailand will join Taiwan and Nepal as the only countries in Asia with legalized same-sex marriage. The bill has been in discussion for over a decade, and recent consolidation of four draft bills into one has been a significant step forward. Human rights groups, while celebrating the progress, have called for the elimination of gendered language in the draft to ensure full rights for LGBTI+ persons.
