Thammanat Denies Monaco Deal, Vows Full Opposition Stance
Palang Pracharath leader Thammanat Prombanchao denied rumors of political deals with rival factions, saying his party will remain in opposition while giving the government time to prove itself.
Thammanat Prombanchao, leader of the Palang Pracharath Party, firmly denied rumors of a Monaco deal and said he has never discussed or made any arrangement with members of the red or orange factions. Speaking on August 4, 2025, he explained that although his party is not in government, he wants the administration to work fully to address economic and social welfare problems. He said he has spent most of his time with family and rarely involved himself in politics beyond party management and opposition duties.
Regarding his recent foreign travel, Thammanat denied all Monaco deal rumors, stating he traveled only with family and met no one abroad. When asked about possible negotiations with Sirikanya Tansakul, a Pheu Thai list MP who said she was ready to join hands with red and green factions, Thammanat denied any such talks or deals.
On political realignment speculation, Thammanat said such analysis is academic rather than factual. He clarified that no formal discussions have occurred with opposition members about a no-confidence debate. When asked if he has information from his previous oversight of the Agriculture Ministry that could be used in debate, he said he must give credit to the current minister and noted most current projects are continuations of his own work.
Asked whether the party would declare itself in full opposition or leave the door open for political shifts, Thammanat said the Palang Pracharath Party differs from others and must first discuss matters internally. He emphasized the party is giving the government time to demonstrate its competence before considering any changes. On potential realignment with green, red, or orange factions, he said there have been no negotiations—only speculation and analysis.
