AEKARACH SATTABURUTH
The House is expected to begin deliberations on the 2026 Budget Bill late next month, with the ruling Pheu Thai Party seeing it as confident the bill will pass despite the growing tension between members of the government coalition over the push to legalise casinos in the country.
Pheu Thai MP Sutin Klungsang said yesterday parliament is scheduled to discuss the bill in an extraordinary session next Monday and Tuesday.
