Thai Prime Minister Petongtarn Shinawatra was suspended by the Constitutional Court on Tuesday. The court suspended the investigation into his conduct in the diplomatic dispute with Cambodia.
The country's politics has for years been dominated by a struggle between conservative, pro-military, pro-royalist elites and the Shinawatra family. The Shinawatra family is viewed by conservative, pro-military and pro-royalist elites as a threat to Thailand's traditional social order.
The 38-year-old Petongtarn has suffered a shock on the day her father and former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra faced a criminal court on royal defamation charges.
Petongtarn took power less than a year ago, but has been suspended as the Constitutional Court considers whether she breached cabinet ethics during the border dispute .
A long-running territorial dispute with Cambodia erupted into cross-border clashes in May, killing a Cambodian soldier.
