Thaksin Rallies Pheu Thai Coalition at Unity Dinner

Strengthening Coalition Bonds

A Night of Political Solidarity

On July 22, 2025, former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra took center stage at a Pheu Thai Party-hosted dinner in Bangkok, aimed at fostering unity among coalition partners. Held at the Eastin Grand Hotel Phayathai, the event, themed “Pheu Thai Samakkhi Prathet: Defending Sovereignty, Solving Problems for the People,” brought together cabinet ministers and MPs from allied parties. The lively gathering underscored Thailand’s coalition government’s commitment to collaboration amid mounting challenges.

Thaksin and Paetongtarn’s Presence

Navigating Legal Hurdles

Thaksin, accompanied by his daughter, suspended Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra, arrived at 6 p.m. to a warm reception from Pheu Thai leaders. Despite facing a lese-majeste case ruling on August 22 and scrutiny over his hospital-based prison term, Thaksin remained upbeat, engaging reporters with a quip about discussing politics. Paetongtarn, now culture minister, awaits a Constitutional Court ruling on an ethics breach, yet both exuded confidence, emphasizing unity and public service.

Coalition Dynamics on Display

Broad Representation at Dinner

The dinner saw attendance from key coalition partners, including the United Thai Nation Party (UTN), with 18 members considering defection, alongside Democrat, Kla Tham, Chartthaipattana, Chartpattanakla, and Prachachat parties. The congenial atmosphere highlighted the coalition’s efforts to maintain cohesion despite political turbulence. With Thailand’s political landscape facing economic and sovereignty challenges, the event served as a platform to reinforce shared goals and strengthen alliances.

Thaksin’s Call for Serious Action

Urging Commitment and Patience

In a spirited pep talk, Thaksin urged coalition members to work together with patience and determination, declaring, “From now on, we will be serious.” Positioning himself as an “unemployed” advisor open to consultation, he emphasized the need to address national challenges collaboratively. His remarks, while lighthearted, addressed concerns about his influence over Pheu Thai, which critics argue could risk the party’s dissolution under Thailand’s strict political laws.

Paetongtarn’s Vision for Unity

Aiming for Public Welfare

Paetongtarn, addressing the gathering, expressed gratitude for the coalition’s solidarity and her hope to resume her role as prime minister. She highlighted the shared goal of serving Thailand’s people, stating, “We aim to take care of our brothers and sisters.” Her speech reinforced the coalition’s commitment to public welfare, aligning with Pheu Thai’s platform of economic revitalization and social progress, critical as Thailand targets 35 million tourists in 2025 to boost its economy.

Key Figures and Political Context

Prominent Leaders in Attendance

The event featured prominent Pheu Thai figures, including Deputy Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai, Tourism Minister Sorawong Thienthong, and Public Health Minister Somsak Thepsuthin, among others. The coalition faces a delicate political moment, with legal challenges and potential defections threatening stability. By rallying its partners, Pheu Thai aims to navigate these hurdles, leveraging Thaksin’s influence to maintain momentum while addressing criticisms of overreach in Thailand’s complex political landscape.
