A: Hey buddy! Got any news?
B: Not really, what's up?

A: So, did you hear about the PM in Thailand? She's in some trouble.
B: No, I haven't. What happened?

A: Well, her phone call with a guy from Cambodia got leaked and it looks like she spoke badly about a Thai Army commander. That's not cool!
B: Ooh, that sounds serious. What did the court say about it?

A: The Constitutional Court accepted a petition from 36 senators against her for violating some ethics rules in the constitution. Now she's suspended and a deputy PM will take over temporarily.
B: Wow, that must be hard for her. What happens next?

A: It's not clear yet, but there are protests happening demanding she resign. Also, people don't really think she makes a good leader, according to a survey.
B: Yikes! That's some tough times for Thailand. Let's hope they sort it out soon.

Thailand's Constitutional Court suspended Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra from duty on Tuesday as it proceeds with a petition demanding her resignation over a leaked phone call.



The court said it had accepted a petition from 36 senators accusing Paetongtarn of violating ethical standards stipulated in the constitution over the call. Her premiership is suspended pending the final ruling and a deputy prime minister is expected to step in as caretaker.



Paetongtarn has been facing backlash after her phone conversation with Cambodian Senate President Hun Sen was leaked. During their talk about border disputes, she seemed to disparage a Thai Army commander.



The court order adds to political turmoil over the government's handling of the border issues with Cambodia and the phone call.



Thousands of protesters gathered over the weekend, demanding that Paetongtarn step down. The latest survey shows that fewer than 10 percent of respondents thought she was suitable as a leader.
