The #Thai #PeoplesParty won the last election, but were blocked from forming a government by the usual suspects. Hoping for better luck in 2026. #MoveForward #Thailand #ThaiPol #Asia #AsiaPol #SEAsia #ThaiPBS #ThaiPBSWorld #Politics #Vote2026 #พรรคประชาชน https://world.thaipbs.or.th/detail/peoples-party-leading-in-latest-nida-poll/60137

"Huione Pay, the banking arm of what’s been called the world’s 'largest ever illicit online marketplace' (#HuioneGuarantee) has been stripped of its banking license, the National Bank of #Cambodia confirmed to RFA this week."
There's been previous reports of tens of billions of dollars moving through Huiones "anything goes" marketplace for weapons, drugs, slaves, etc. so this is possibly an interesting escalation in the crackdown on Chinese organized crime in southeast asia that seems to have been orchestrated by the #PRC (though some are sceptical if it will end up making any real difference give Huione connections to the Cambodian government).

Curious: I can't find any media outlet willing to report what #Thaksin actually said to warrant the indictment. Of course, #Thai media can't repeat the quote for fear of getting charged themselves. But even foreign media seems reluctant. 🇹🇭 🕵️ 😬 #Press #Media #FreedomOfThePress #Asia #AsiaPol #Thailand #ThaiPol https://www.voanews.com/a/ex-thai-pm-thaksin-shinawatra-to-be-formally-charged-with-insulting-monarchy/7633097.html

Excellent overview of modern #Thai democracy (and it's enemies) with #SaowaneeAlexander from #UbonRatchathani University. Recorded in 2020, before the most recent elections, but still very relevant. #NewBooksNetwork #Thailand #ThaiPol #Asia #AsiaPol #Politics #GlobalPolitics #SEAsia #SouthEastAsia #MoveForward #PheuThai #Thaksin https://newbooksnetwork.com/thailands-politically-less-privileged-people-with-saowanee-alexander
