BANGKOK: Thai tycoon Anutin Charnvirakul (pic) took office as prime minister on Sunday (Sept 7), with the cannabis-championing conservative ousting the nation's dominant political dynasty and setting course for elections early next year.
Since 2023 elections, Thailand's top office has been monopolised by the Pheu Thai party of the Shinatawatra dynasty - a populist force which has long sparred with the pro-monarchy, pro-military establishment.
