Thai PM will not resign or dissolve parliament, official says

BANGKOK: Thailand’s embattled prime minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra will not resign, or dissolve parliament, a senior official of the ruling Pheu Thai party said on Saturday.

Sorawong Thienthong, who also serves as Thailand’s tourism minister, said in a Facebook post that the prime minister will not quit, despite growing calls for her resignation after her mishandling of a border row with neighbouring Cambodia.
