Wealthy foreigners to own small landholdings associated with homes here agreed in principle

The speculation about who may lead a Pheu Thai government comes with the party doing well in opinion polls and after it unveiled a radical and comprehensive economic strategy last week in Bangkok. Positive opinion poll figures are being driven by the possible candidacy of Paetongtarn Shinawatra, the daughter of Thaksin Shinawatra and the latest flag bearer for the Shinawatra political dynasty which, while generating enthusiasm among the party’s grassroots, also runs the risk of precipitating another army coup despite denials by military leaders this week. https://www.thaiexaminer.com/thai-news-foreigners/2022/10/17/drugs-crackdown-planned-memories-of-thaksin-2003/ Joseph O' Connor reports from Bangkok.
