Where does Paetongtarn take Pheu Thai from here?
23 Sept 06:50Key points summarised by AI

The May 14 election results drastically altered Thai politics, making Move Forward Pheu Thai's primary and more complex rival, now in opposition.
She faces a challenging path, balancing Pheu Thai's pragmatism against idealism, modernizing the party's image, and managing the dual asset/liability of her father, Thaksin Shinawatra.
