The boycott of Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha’s cabinet meeting by seven ministers on Tuesday is being seen as another sign of discord growing in the former army chief's troubled 18-party coalition.
The no-show by ministers from the Bhumjaithai Party, the second-largest coalition member, could be another embarrassment for Gen Prayut, whose Palang Pracharath Party was last month forced to expel a faction that controlled 21 parliamentary seats, accusing it of causing disunity.
