BANGKOK (Reuters) -Thailand's Bhumjaithai party, which left the ruling coalition last week, said on Tuesday it will seek a parliamentary no confidence vote against Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinwatra and her cabinet, in another blow to the embattled premier.

Next week's planned motion will be the first parliamentary test for Paetongtarn, 38, since coming under intense public pressure over her handling of an escalating border row with neighbouring Cambodia, which has left the ruling alliance led by her Pheu Thai party hanging on to power by a thread.
