BANGKOK - Pheu Thai Party's unmasking of its six coalition partners on Wednesday (March 27) is just the first act in a prolonged political drama that Thailand is about to see.
The seven parties - which include Pheu Thai splinter Pheu Chart, youthful upstart Future Forward, and fiercely independent smaller ones like Seri Ruam Thai - have bagged at least 255 out of the 500 Lower House seats, by their own count.
