Thai PM faces calls to quit after leaked phone call

Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra faces calls to resign after a leaked June 15 phone call with Cambodia's former leader Hun Sen discussing a border dispute.
The call was released by Hun Sen amid heightened tensions over a long-standing border conflict that recently led to a Cambodian soldier's death in May.
Following the leak, the Bhumjaithai Party quit Paetongtarn's coalition on Wednesday, threatening her government's slim majority and prompting other coalition parties to consider their positions.
Paetongtarn apologized and described the call as a "negotiation technique," but opposition and some coalition figures say it undermined military dignity and national sovereignty.
The political crisis may lead to a cabinet reshuffle or snap election, which could benefit the opposition People's Party and deepen instability amid an ongoing border dispute between Thailand and Cambodia.
