Suspended Thai PM Paetongtarn faces ethics probe
Thailand's anti-graft body will investigate suspended Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra for alleged ethnics violations over a leaked phone call with Cambodia's influential former leader Hun Sen, an official and local media say. The investigation will be another blow to the beleaguered government of 38-year-old Paetongtarn, Thailand's youngest premier, who the Constitutional Court suspended from duty earlier in July over the same issue. The leaked June 15 call, during which Paetongtarn appeared to kowtow before Hun Sen and criticised a Thai army commander, triggered a major backlash at home, with allegations she had undermined Thailand's integrity and sovereignty amid a heated territorial dispute with Cambodia. Paetongtarn has since seen protests calling for her resignation and the exit from her coalition of its second-largest party, leaving her government with a razor-thin majority. "The commission has set up an investigation panel. There is no time frame," said an official from the National Anti-Corruption Commission, who declined to be named because they were not authorised to speak publicly about the matter. The body has a broad remit to probe allegations of offences by state officials beyond graft. Multiple Thai media outlets on Monday reported it had decided to investigate Pateongtarn. The NACC secretary-general Sarote Phuengrampan told reporters he was not aware of the investigation or any decision by commissioners. The complaint came from 36 senators who also petitioned the Constitutional Court alleging Paetongtarn, the daughter of politically influential billionaire had violated ethical standards and intentionally abused her power. She is suspended from duty until a verdict is delivered. Paetongtarn has apologised for the call and insisted she was trying to find a peaceful solution to an escalating row with Cambodia, which saw a troop buildup on both sides of their border. Paetongtarn's battles after only 10 months in office underline a deep rift in Thailand between the Shinawatra political dynasty and its rivals among a conservative establishment backed by the army, a long-running power struggle that has seen two coups and the fall of multiple parties and prime ministers by court orders.

Inside the final hours before Australian lawyer died in Thai massage parlour
It was after midnight when Christopher Saines, a young and seemingly fit law firm chief executive, walked through the glass doors of Siam Touch Health Massage in the popular Thailand holiday destination of Koh Samui. He was barefooted and carrying a beer, this masthead understands. He reportedly handed over the equivalent of about $20 for a traditional Thai massage. What happened next, and why he never made it out alive in the early hours of Monday, remains a mystery and the subject of a tight-lipped police investigation. White powder found with his body has been sent away for testing, a process that could take several weeks. Authorities are yet to confirm if there are any other factors they are considering in his death. But small details have emerged. This masthead understands the massage finished at about 2am, at which time Saines asked to use the bathroom on the third floor. When he returned to the second floor, he complained of feeling tired and was allowed to rest. He is believed to have still been alive by 4am because the massage therapists could still hear him snoring. But several hours later, when they attempted to wake him, he was dead. Saines, his wife and people believed to be other family members were staying about 20 minutes' walk from the parlour at Villa Mia, which offers large accommodation costing between about $2500 to $7500 per night. His family released a statement earlier this week saying at just 43, the lawyer had already made a profound impact through his professional achievements and his unwavering commitment to the people and causes he cared about most.
