Pheu Thai x Sondhi?
Pheu Thai Party’s recent gesture of sending birthday greetings to Sondhi Limthongkul — a former archrival and ex-leader of the anti-Thaksin yellowshirt movement — has sparked controversy and accusations of political desperation. The move is widely seen as an attempt by Pheu Thai to align with Sondhi in attacking Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul and the opposition People’s Party, revealing shifting alliances in Thailand’s volatile political landscape. Party figures and redshirt leaders have defended the act as a strategic step toward reconciliation and unity among pro-democracy forces, urging supporters to move beyond past hostilities. Critics, however, view it as a cynical political maneuver that betrays past sacrifices and underscores how politicians exploit ideological divides for expediency.
