According to the Move Forward Party( MFP ), the Pheu Thai Party did not request a change to Section 112 of the Criminal Code, also known as the Lese Majeste Law, at their meeting yesterday.

Pheu Thai announced yesterday that the eight-party bond led by the MFP would disintegrate, which was eagerly anticipated.

According to MFP secretary-general Chaithawat Tulathon, Pheu Thai not asked his party to reverse the der qualifications change, which was a significant sticking point in the coalition’s formation. But, Pheu Thai has repeatedly stated in the past that the MFP may make the decision, and it has remained steadfast.

The MFP’s uncompromising attitude on amending the Lese Majeste legislation, according to Pheu Thai, who was given the authority to lead the formation of a new authorities after Pita Limjaroenrat was unable to garner enough support, prevented him from pursuing the success of his coalition government.

As long as the MFP wouldn’t change its proposed amendment to Part 112, the majority of lawmakers insisted they had either voting against Mr. Pita or abstain from voting for him. 188 MPs from the original coalition government parties agreed with this position and likewise stated they do not support a government led by Pheu Thai with the MFP in it.

The group claimed that some factions voted against or withdrew their support for the MFP in a speech read by Pheu Thai chief Dr. Cholnan Srikaew monday. The MFP insisted on maintaining this plan despite being well informed of the challenge, according to the statement.

Srettha Thavisin, who will be nominated for prime minister in congress tomorrow, was not requested by Pheu Thai, according to Mr. Chaithawat.

Mr. Chaithawat apologized to adherents for failing to form a new partnership with Pheu Thai and six different functions and vowed that the MFP would fight for equality in the end, even as an opposition party. The fact that the highest power does not go to the people is unmistakable proof of how Thai politics have been distorted. We are now on a quest to battle for change, according to Mr. Chaithawat.

Tomorrow, the MFP may decide whether to support Pheu Thai’s Am member at a party meeting, he said. Pita Limjaroenrat, the MFP president who is being treated for flu in a clinic, has been informed of Pheu Thai’s decision to resign from the organization.

A group of MFP followers who staged a protest yesterday at Pheu Thai’s headquarters were informed by Rangsiman Rome, an MP and gathering official on the list, that the coalition government led by the party had failed. ” I believed we had wed and registered our relationship. The MoU, which was signed by each of the eight events, was comparable to a marriage license. It’s actually a marriage, he said. It hurts me to witness person’s goals go awry. They were therefore nearly realized.

According to a new survey supported by Unicef, more parents are nursing their babies today, but the level is still significantly below the worldwide goal for 2025.

According to the study, nearly one in three parents in Thailand breastfed their infants entirely during the first six months of life. This also reveals a significant difference from the Global Nutrition Target of 50 % by 2025, though.

This week is World Breastfeeding Week, and Unicef is urging more assistance to ensure that all mother, including working ones, breastfeed their infants entirely.

According to Kyungsun Kim, Unicef’s member for Thailand, despite the fact that the unique feeding level in Thailand has doubled over the past few years, to many kids still don’t get the best start in life.

” A family’s power is breastmilk.” However, as a mother myself, I am aware that breastfeeding is not always simple, and it can be difficult for working parents to continue breastfeeding specifically for at least six months.

To continue breastfeeding and provide their babies with the best food for their ideal development, mothers need assistance from family members, doctors, nurses, as well as their employers and coworkers.

All the nourishment that babies require to grow and thrive are present in milk. According to her, breastfed children have better cognitive outcomes and are less likely to experience waste and stunting than non-breasted children.

Parents should breastfeed their infants in the first hour of life and exclusively for six months, according to the World Health Organization and Unicef. According to Ms. Kim, parents may continue breastfeeding their infants after six months while also feeding them appropriately for their time.

Unicef Thailand is launching” The Masterpiece” on social media this week to spread awareness that feeding is one’s business.

To emphasize the value of lactation, the plan includes playful reworkings of the most famous artworks in the world. According to Ms. Kim, the strategy emphasizes the significance of feeding throughout human story.

Now, the party will reveal a new coalition line-up.

All eyes are now on whether the Palang Pracharath Party ( PPRP ) and the military-affiliated United Thai Nation Party,( UTN ), will be invited today to join a new alliance led by Pheu Thai that split from the Move Forward Party yesterday( MFP ).

Along with the seven unique coalition allies attempting to form a government, Pheu Thai abandoned the MFP and revoked the MoU it had signed.

The MFP insists on amending Part 112 of the Criminal Code, also known as the stability guess rules, so the group will then move on to form its own partnership.

Cholnan Srikaew, the president of Pheu Thai, made the announcement yesterday evening.

He explained to the media that the eight-party bond instructed Pheu Thai to win more support from various parties and senators so a government had been formed after the MFP failed to secure the necessary political support for Pita Limjaroenrat, its leader and only PM candidate.

According to Dr. Cholnan,” it turns out they do not take any change to Section 112, and some parties also said they will not visit a government with Move Forth anyhow.”

Therefore, Pheu Thai informed the MFP yesterday at a meeting that it would name Srettha Thavisin as its own candidate for prime minister after withdrawing from the eight-party ally.

According to Dr. Cholnan,” Pheu Thai and Mr. Srettha will keep Part 112 unchanged and the new government will not have Move Forth in its coalition.”

Move Ahead will be in the opposite, he said, and Pheu Thai may make an effort to win enough seats in parliament.

Dr. Cholnan stated that he would reveal now which parties do make up the new partnership.

Dr. Cholnan responded,” Only wait and see ,” when asked if the UTN and the PPRP may be invited to join.

According to observers, if Pheu Thai includes either or both the PPRP and the UTN, it is anticipate facing harsh criticism for breaking its promise to not work with the so-called” brother” parties— those associated with military officials involved in the 2014 coup— before the May 14 vote.

The” uncles” are the PPRP leader Prawit Wongsuwon and former UTN chief adviser and candidate for prime minister Prayut Chan-o-cha.

Dr. Cholnan even expressed confidence that Mr. Srettha would receive the necessary support from MPs and senators during the upcoming, tentatively scheduled election session.

Pheu Thai, according to Dr. Cholnan, would never object if the MFP did not support Mr. Srettha.

The MFP has the freedom to cast its ballot however it pleases, he declared.

According to the constitution, a candidate for prime minister must receive at least 50 % of the 750 people of both the lower and upper chambers of parliament, or 376 votes in total.

However, all eyes are on whether the Constitutional Court will take a complaint today asking it to rule on the constitutionality of parliament’s July 19 decision to disqualify Mr. Pita from the position of prime minister. The voting won’t take place until the judge’s decision if the complaint is accepted.

Dr. Cholnan continued by saying that the contract may be changed by a Pheu Thai-led government because it prevented the formation of the government.

After that, the government would give the people back control and convene a fresh election.

He claimed that a Pheu Thai-led government would support some of the MFP’s proposed policies, including the passage of laws promoting alcohol use, marriage equality, and the replacement of military conscription with volunteer recruitment.

Akanat Promphan, the secretary-general of UTN, stated yesterday that the party may be prepared to hold talks once Pheu Thai made it clear that Part 112 may be left alone.

Gen Prayut had already left the UTN, so it was pointless to refer to it as an” brother” party. However, Mr. Akanat added that there were still a few issues that needed to be discussed before deciding whether or not we would meet.

Senator Kittisak Rattanawaraha declared that he was prepared to support a member for prime minister from the new union and that Mr. Srettha is anticipated to win the position.

The MFP and Pheu Thai played a key role in the initial eight-party union that it created. After being proposed as prime minister on July 13, Mr. Pita was unable to secure the support of the legislature. The MFP therefore gave Pheu Thai the go-ahead to guide the formation of a partnership.

The MFP’s pressure on changing Area 112 was opposed by the majority of senators and many MPs.

PHUKET: According to police, two American tourists drowned and a third was successfully rescued after being swept out to sea by the rough waves later on Tuesday night.

In the past five weeks, four travellers have drowned in the lakes off Phuket as a result of their deaths.

Despite the red flags posted along the beach that indicated hard water conditions, the three men reportedly went swimming on Tuesday night close to the Naga monument on Karon beach.

The various two gentlemen were declared dead at the Patong and Chalong institutions after being discovered, but one of the men was saved by lifeguards.

The American embassy promised to inform their family members.

The Pheu Thai Party did not ask the Move Forward Party (MFP) to back down on its intention to amend Section 112 of the Criminal Code, or the lese majeste law, at their meeting on Wednesday, the party says.

Pheu Thai on Wednesday announced the highly-anticipated disintegration of the eight-party alliance led by the MFP. 

MFP secretary-general Chaithawat Tulathon said Pheu Thai never asked his party to backtrack on the lese majeste change, a major sticking point in forming the coalition. Pheu Thai, however, has said many times previously the decision should be MFP’s own, and it had refused to budge.

At Wednesday’s announcement, Pheu Thai — which had been handed the right to lead in forming a new government after MFP leader Pita Limjaroenrat failed to win enough support — said the MFP’s unyielding stance on amending the lese majeste law stood in the way of Pheu Thai’s pursuit of a successful coalition government. 

Most appointed senators insisted they would continue to either vote against or abstain from voting for Mr Pita so long as the MFP refused to backtrack on its proposed amendment of Section 112. The stance was shared by 188 MPs of the former coalition government parties which also declared they would not join a government led by Pheu Thai with the MFP in it. 

In a statement read by Pheu Thai leader Dr Cholnan Srikaew on Wednesday, the party said the MFP’s position on the lese majeste law was the main reason several parties voted against or withdrew their support for the MFP.  The MFP was well aware of the obstacle but insisted on continuing with this policy, the statement said. 

Mr Chaithawat, meanwhile, said Pheu Thai did not ask the MFP to vote for Srettha Thavisin, who is poised to be nominated as prime minister in parliament on Friday.

Apologising to supporters for failing to form a new coalition with Pheu Thai and six other parties, Mr Chaithawat vowed the MFP would fight until the end for equality — even as an opposition party. “What happened is clear evidence of the distortion of Thai politics — that the highest power does not belong to the people. From now on, we’re on a mission to fight for change,” Mr Chaithawat said. 

The MFP will decide at a party meeting whether it will vote for Pheu Thai’s PM candidate on Friday, he said. MFP leader Pita Limjaroenrat, who is in hospital for treatment of influenza, has been informed about Pheu Thai’s decision to ditch the MFP.

Rangsiman Rome, MFP list-MP and party spokesman, told a group of MFP supporters who protested at Pheu Thai’s head office on Wednesday that the effort to form an MFP-led coalition government proved futile. “I thought we had tied the knot and registered our marriage. The MoU (signed by all eight parties) was equivalent to a marriage certificate. As it turns out, it’s a divorce,” he said. “It pains me to see people’s dreams turn sour. They were so close to coming true.”

Tourists are being warned to avoid swimming in the sea off Koh Lanta island in Krabi province following reported sightings of the deadly siphonophore, Portuguese man o’ war.

On Aug 1, a Thai tourist posted on her Facebook that she had been stung by a sea animal resembling a jellyfish while she walking along a Koh Lanta beach.

The photos she uploaded indicated that the creature was a siphonophore.

This prompted Neramit Songsaeng, chief of the Lanta Islands National Park, to say on Wednesday that he had been informed last week of the presence of the deadly siphonophore, also called Portuguese man o’ war, by several local hotels in Sala Dan subdistrict of Ko Lanta district.

He then told hotels and local government administrations in the area to warn tourists about the creature.

Portuguese man o’ war are not usually found in Thailand but some have been known to appear along the Thai coast during the monsoon season, Mr Neramit said. The sting of this particular siphonophore can affect the nervous system and heart and cause severe pain. People are strongly advised not to touch them directly.

The best treatment if stung is to pour vinegar on the affected area and seek medical advice immediately.

Supporters of the Move Forward Party (MFP) are closely monitoring the Pheu Thai Party’s next move to see which parties it will ask to join its fledgling coalition after MFP was on Wednesday given the push.

MFP, which came first in the May 14 election, asked Pheu Thai to form a coalition government after MFP’s own efforts failed.

Arnon Nampa, political activist and key leader of the MFP support group, said the group was waiting to see what Pheu Thai would do. “Holding hands with any parties that support the political succession is no different from joining with the Palang Pracharath Party (PPRP) and United Thai Nation (UTN) Party,’’ Mr Arnon told the Bangkok Post.

PPRP is led by Gen Prawit Wongsuwon, who is also its prime ministerial candidate. Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha is the UTN’s former chief strategist but has now resigned as a member.

Gen Prayut staged a coup in 2014 while Gen Prawit was close to him and other military leaders involved in the 2014 coup.

Asked about the mood of MFP supporters, Mr Arnon said they are unhappy as Pheu Thai did not keep its vow. Some Pheu Thai supporters may even refuse to work with the “three Pors” [referring to Gen Prawit, Gen Prayut and Gen Anupong Paojinda, the interior minister], if it comes to that.

Their decision also affects Pheu Thai supporters, he said. “More protests are expected in the future,’’ Mr Arnon said.

“I think many people are feeling angry but it may be not enough to drive them to gather in public. There are many factors that will push people to the edge, such as prosecutions against MFP leader Pita Limjaroenrat,” he said. “I do think Pheu Thai’s decision may hurt its popularity.”

Supporters from the United Front of Thammasat and Demonstration group on Wednesday afternoon rallied at Pheu Thai Party headquarters to urge it stay united with the MFP and the other coalition partners until the term of the senate expires in mid-May next year, so they can form a government.

When they learned that Pheu Thai had withdrawn from the coalition, in an effort to try to form a government without the MFP, the mood of the demonstrators changed.

Some burned effigies, while the others tried to break into the party’s HQ. Fences were set up as police and security officers were trying to hold out against the crowd.

The hashtag #Pheu Thai Kanlakorn (Pheu Thai drama) was among the most talked about topics on X, formerly known as Twitter.
