BANGKOK (Reuters): Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra was discharged from hospital after recovering from a high fever, a government official said on Friday.
Paetongtarn, 38, was admitted to hospital after returning from a two-day visit to Cambodia on Thursday evening, government spokesperson Jirayu Houngsub said.
After a thorough medical examination, doctors confirmed her condition had improved and allowed her to rest at home, he said, adding that she would return to duties on Monday.
Paetongtarn travelled to Cambodia this week for a two-day visit, during which she met Prime Minister Hun Manet to discuss cross-border cooperation on issues such as online scams and air pollution.
The two leaders also discussed leveraging Asean as a platform to negotiate with US President Donald Trump on trade tariffs.
