Thaksin ends brotherhood with Hun Sen for what he did to Paetongtarn

10 Sept 21:27Key points summarised by AI

Former Thai PM Thaksin Shinawatra declared the end of his close relationship with Cambodia's Hun Sen, expressing shock and betrayal over Hun Sen's actions against his daughter, Paetongtarn.
The fallout stems from Hun Sen releasing a recorded private conversation with Paetongtarn, where she appeared deferential, leading to public criticism and her subsequent suspension from the premiership.
Thaksin asserts Paetongtarn was lured into the call, unaware of the recording, and was attempting to de-escalate border tensions through personal ties, ultimately regretting his trust in Hun Sen.
Thaksin believes Hun Sen's actions have destroyed his own credibility and, despite current tensions, the Thai-Cambodian border conflict will not escalate into a full-blown war.
