Thailand's Constitutional Court judges have voted to temporarily suspend Prime Minister Paetongtarn, following tensions sparked by an armed incident on the border with Cambodia. It led to protests and public criticism, and Paetongtarn is accused of trying to curry favor with Cambodia. Deputy Prime Minister Suriya Jungrungruangkit is expected to take over as interim PM. Paetongtarn is also facing an anti-corruption investigation that could lead to her permanent removal.
