History
A phone call between Shinawatra and Hun Sen, in which she insulted a regional commander of the Thai military who had emerged as a problematic agitator for border conflict in May 2025, was leaked. Aside from public demonstrations calling for her resignation, this created a rift between her and the military junta that enabled her civilian government. The Constitutional Court suspended her term as PM in June, pending a ruling on an alleged ethics violation.
Policies
In June 2024, before the government of Thavisin was deposed, a bill for marriage equality passed. It was signed by Rama X in September, early in Shinawatra's term.
