Pheu Thai to approach senators individually seeking their support

Today 04:35 Key points summarised by AI

Pheu Thai has assigned a team, led by Suriya Juangroongruangkit, to individually lobby senators for support of their prime ministerial candidate ahead of the July 27th parliamentary vote.
The party is actively engaging various political factions, including Bhumjaithai, United Thai Nation, Chart Pattana Kla, Chartthaipattana, and Palang Pracharath, to build a coalition government.
A key condition for support from multiple parties and most senators is a firm stance against amending the lèse majesté law (Section 112).
Several potential partners, including Chartthaipattana, explicitly state their willingness to endorse Pheu Thai's candidate only if the Move Forward party is excluded from the new government.

Lamphun illuminates its ancient city with two concurrent light festivals: the high-tech VIJIT Thailand @ LAMPHUN and the traditional Hundred Thousand Lantern Festival.
VIJIT Thailand @ LAMPHUN transforms historic landmarks into an outdoor gallery, using projections and multimedia to animate Lamphun's history, including Queen Chamadevi's story.
The Hundred Thousand Lantern Festival, part of Yi Peng, fills temples and streets with countless traditional lanterns, symbolizing Buddhist devotion and personal wishes.
These festivals offer a unique after-dark experience, blending contemporary light art with centuries-old Lanna traditions, connecting visitors to Lamphun's past and faith.
