Listen to this articleYodchanan WongsawatThai-Cambodian border tensions had nothing to do with the Shinawatra family, Yodchanan Wongsawat, one of the Pheu Thai Party's prime ministerial candidates, said on Wednesday, stressing it was due to Thailand's intensified crackdown on transnational scam networks. He said these efforts caused anger among affected groups, which contributed to heightened tensions along the border. On concerns over the impact of US tariff measures combined with border tensions, he said both issues required careful handling, but Pheu Thai's experienced economic team was capable of handling them. Enhancing connectivity and transport infrastructure would help attract investment, while the government must ensure that investment schemes would also support technology transfer, he said. He added that Pheu Thai was to submit its policy platform to the Election Commission later on Wednesday, ahead of candidate registration.
