- Cambodia's Senate President Hun Sen announced on June 27 he will address the Thai public to expose a plot by former PM Thaksin Shinawatra to change Thailand's leadership and insult its monarchy.
- Rising tensions stem from allegations that Thaksin betrayed Hun Sen and the Thai monarchy, while recent disputes involve troop deployments, a leaked phone call weakening PM Paetongtarn Shinawatra's government, and cybercrime issues between the countries.

- The unfolding events suggest prolonged diplomatic strains with possible international legal disputes over border areas, ongoing cybercrime concerns, and a potential impact on Thailand’s political stability and Cambodia-Thailand relations.
