BANGKOK, Sept 13 (The Nation Thailand/ANN): Prime Minister Prayut Chan-O-Cha is expected to reshuffle the Cabinet of his coalition government soon after Finance Minister Predee Daochai resigned on Sept 1 less than a month after his appointment, according to a source in the ruling Palang Pracharat Party.

Predee, a former chairman of the Thai Bankers’ Association, cited health reasons for his abrupt departure from the Finance Ministry, but some observers believe he had a conflict with his deputy over the annual promotion of senior officials at the ministry.
