On June 10, 2025, reporters noted unusual circumstances at the Cabinet meeting, with six ministers absent and the session starting significantly later than scheduled. The meeting, normally beginning at 10:00 AM, was delayed until approximately 10:40 AM, partly due to late arrivals by Bhumjaithai Party ministers.
Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra entered the meeting room at 10:15 AM and spent time discussing the Thai-Cambodia border situation with other ministers until 10:40 AM, when the Bhumjaithai Party ministers finally arrived—just as the border discussion concluded.
The meeting atmosphere was notably subdued and less lively than usual. A particularly significant observation was the absence of Deputy Prime Minister and Energy Minister Pirapan Salirathavibhaga, who serves as leader of the Ruam Thai Sang Chart Party. Despite arriving at Government House Building 1, Pirapan was not seen in the meeting room and spent the day working in his office instead.
In the afternoon, Himalai Phiuphan, advisor to Deputy PM Pirapan and director of the Ruam Thai Sang Chart Party, traveled to Government House Building 1, presumably to meet with Pirapan.
The delayed start and notable absences, particularly of a key coalition partner leader, suggest potential underlying tensions or disagreements within the government coalition.
