Thailand is seeing a massive political tamasha 💥 again! This time, it’s all about Paetongtarn “Ung Ing” Shinawatra 🧕—the youngest ever Prime Minister who got suspended after a super controversial phone call got leaked 📱💣.

The Constitutional Court ruled 7-2 to suspend her from PM duty 😳 because 36 angry senators complained she broke ethics. She has 15 days to explain herself or get permanently kicked out 🫣.

📞 What was in that phone call?

So basically, on June 15, Ung Ing called Cambodia’s ex-strongman Hun Sen for a friendly chat. But instead of a boring hello, she:

👉 Referred to Hun Sen as “Uncle” 👴👉 Promised “whatever you want, I’ll take care of it” 😳👉 Mocked Thai army commander General Boonsin, saying he “just wants to look cool” instead of solving the border tension 🌶️

Hun Sen got annoyed and publicly shared the recording 📣—totally exposing her!

🔥 Public outrage

The minute this leaked, Bangkok went wild 😵‍💫. Nearly 10,000 protesters hit the streets waving placards calling her a “traitor PM” 🪧 and chanting “Ung Ing, get out!”

People felt she sold out Thailand’s pride 🇹🇭 to Cambodia for no reason. The anger was so strong that the Bhumjaithai Party, which held 69 seats, quit her coalition ✌️—leaving her government shaky.

📉 Economic chaos

Investors also freaked out 🤑. The Thai stock market crashed more than 4%, wiping out crores worth of value 💸. Business leaders are scared that this drama could drag on and hurt tourism and trade badly.

In just 10 months as PM, her popularity crashed from 31% to a sad 9.2% 🫥.

👑 Who’s the caretaker now?

While Ung Ing is fighting to save her seat, Deputy PM Suriya Juangroongruangkit has been named caretaker PM 👔. Paetongtarn has been moved to just a Culture Minister role temporarily—but the court is still deciding if she can stay in politics at all.

🧭 Shinawatra family saga

This is not the first time a Shinawatra got thrown out 😮‍💨.

✅ In 2006, her dad Thaksin was removed by a military coup 🚁✅ In 2014, her aunt Yingluck was toppled by a court

Now in 2025, Ung Ing is the next target in this endless game of musical chairs 🎶.

✍️ MediaFx View: From the people’s side

Honestly yaar, this feels like the same old story 📖—whenever a PM tries to bring some fresh ideas, the powerful elite pull the plug 🤯. Whether you like Paetongtarn or not, working folks deserve a govt that talks peace 🕊️, not just power games.

All these court dramas are making ordinary people suffer—jobs go, prices rise, investors run. Real democracy should mean letting the people decide 🗳️, not just a few big bosses in uniform or fancy suits.

💬 What do you think?

🤔 Should Paetongtarn be kicked out?🤔 Was the call really that bad?🤔 Or is this just the old guard scared of losing control?

Tell us in the comments below! Let’s talk about what real democracy should look like ✊
