Overview
- The Royal Gazette published the order dissolving the House of Representatives and requiring a new vote within 45–60 days, likely by early February.
- Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul remains in a caretaker role after taking office in September following Paetongtarn Shinawatra’s removal.
- The government said its minority status and mounting domestic challenges necessitated dissolution as cross-border fighting with Cambodia continues into a sixth day.
- At least 20 people have been killed and hundreds of thousands displaced, with many sheltering in tents, concrete bunkers, and emergency centers in Thailand.
- Thailand and Cambodia cosigned a ceasefire on October 26 with President Donald Trump, which Thailand later suspended after a land-mine blast; Trump says he plans calls with both leaders, and Anutin scheduled one for 21:20 local time.
