Thai Enquirer News Summary – September 7, 2026

On September 7, 2026, former media mogul and protest leader Sondhi Limthongkul announced the "Take Back Our Thailand" campaign, scheduled to commence with a rally and letter submissions at the Israeli embassy. The movement targets alleged foreign and domestic illicit networks, focusing on entities like Chinese, Jewish, Burmese, Indian, and Russian capital that allegedly acquire land, engage in illegal businesses, and disregard Thai law while the government fails to protect the nation.

Ahead of the protest, the group held a dinner gathering at a restaurant called 'ร้านครัวกรุงเทพ.' Subsequent meetings revealed varying opinions among the ultra-conservative group, leading Sondhi to announce the first announcement by himself.

Parit Wacharasindhu, a party list MP and deputy leader of the People's Party, acknowledged his mistake on the one-year anniversary of the Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) that led to Anutin Charnvirakul becoming Prime Minister. Parit admitted that the party received public backlash following the recent election. He addressed comments from Nattawut Saikuar, a core member of the Red Leader, regarding the MoA between the People's Party and the Bhumjai Thai Party.

Anutin Charnvirakul, Prime Minister, Minister of Interior, and leader of the Bhumjai Thai Party, was surprised by the one-year milestone of the MoA. He rejected the idea that the agreement was a mistake, emphasizing that both parties cooperated at the time to find a way forward for the country. Anutin stated that the Bhumjai Thai Party fulfilled its primary objective of supporting constitutional amendments.

He accused the People's Party of repeatedly adding conditions and pressuring beyond the five-point MOA framework by shifting proposed dissolution dates and demanding control over the Senate. Anutin suggested reviewing past statements by Parit Wacharasindhu to demonstrate that the decision to dissolve parliament was a direct result of their requests and ultimatums.
