Today marks 21 years since the Aceh tsunami, a tragedy on a scale I really struggle to comprehend. This year particularly potent with months of failures, puzzling decisions and a slow response following the flooding last month.

Southern Thailand continues to grapple with severe flooding, as conflicting government death tolls, worsening conditions in Hat Yai, and urgent calls from MPs and medical authorities highlight the scale of the crisis and the challenges in managing relief and fatalities.

Southern Flood Crisis: Conflicting Death Toll Figures, Hat Yai Struggles, and Urgent Calls for Improved Management
Recent reports from rescue teams suggest that fatalities from the southern floods could be significantly higher than the numbers released by authorities so far. Chiang Mai’s San Kamphaeng Rescue Association, operating at the Hat Yai flood site, described severe challenges in handling the deceased. Rescuers found some bodies stored in refrigerators, others tied to house pillars, and some floating inside homes.

This is how I see it: liberal-conservative Pheu Thai is the conservatives' buffert towards the progressive/social democratic People's Party, and conservative-populist Bhumjaithai are a sort of buffert for the progressives towards the military-national conservative Palang Pracharat Party.
Pheu Thai just got so much more of the popular vote, together with the progressive People's Party my guess is the call to dissolve parliament is their hope to rid of Bhumjaithai from the ruling coalition. Not sure the military faction of parliament would allow that though.
