BANGKOK: The political game in Thailand is set for high-stakes manoeuvring in the next 60 days. Thaksin Shinawatra and the Pheu Thai Party must hold onto power as their rivals aggressively seek to seize it.
Paetongtarn Shinawatra's government is on life support, with the Hun Sen audio clip scandal becoming a critical blow that has given the conservative factions the opportunity to strike at Thaksin and Pheu Thai.
