A strong wave of online sentiment is calling for Second Army Region chief Lt Gen Boonsin Padklang to have his term extended until the end of the Thai-Cambodian conflict, as he is due to retire at the end of September 2025—just 50 days from now.

Proposals to boost Thailand’s competitiveness include reforming the public sector for transparency and efficiency, upgrading infrastructure and workforce skills, and adopting data-driven policymaking.

From the evening of Sunday to the morning of Monday, there were no clashes or incidents of violence along the Thai-Cambodian border in seven provinces, government spokesman Jirayu Huangsap reported.
