Veteran politician who helped legalize cannabis new Thai PM
Manila Bulletin
|September 9, 2025
Anutin Charnvirakul, a veteran politician best known for successfully lobbying to decriminalize cannabis in Thailand, became the country’s prime minister after receiving a royal endorsement Sunday.
-
Anutin, 58, succeeds Paetongtarn Shinawatra of the Pheu Thai Party, who was dismissed last week after being found guilty of ethics violations over a politically compromising phone call with neighboring Cambodia’s Senate President Hun Sen.
The phone call took place before a border dispute between the two nations turned into a deadly five-day armed conflict in July that raised fears of a full-blown war in the region.
