Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul faces a political showdown after bitter negotiations derailed a no-confidence debate targeting 18 ministers. House Speaker Sophon Saram intervened as the People’s Party and Democrats accused the Cabinet of obstructing parliamentary scrutiny. Meanwhile, scandals involving Senate selection, examination fraud and political influence threaten further damage. Separately, investigators are tracing online gambling and cryptocurrency transactions linked to prominent political families. Deputy Prime Minister Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn is also locked in a fierce public row with former Democrat MP Sirichok Sopha. Backed by 145 MPs, the no-confidence motion remains unresolved, with November delays now looming.

Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul faces mounting parliamentary pressure after Thailand’s no-confidence debate was postponed following bitter negotiations over speaking time. House of Representatives Speaker Sophon Saram has removed the proceedings from Parliament’s October agenda.

Meanwhile, the People’s Party and Democrat Party have accused the government of attempting to dictate the terms of parliamentary scrutiny. The confrontation comes amid investigations into examination fraud, political influence, online gambling and cryptocurrency transactions involving prominent political families.

The motion targets Anutin and 17 other ministers, principally associated with the ruling Bhumjaithai Party. However, the immediate dispute concerns how much time opposition MPs will receive to question them.

Opposition demands five debate days as Speaker postpones no-confidence showdown until further talks

The opposition demanded five full debate days, followed by a separate voting day. In response, the government offered four days of questioning and a fifth day for voting. Negotiations collapsed, leaving the motion without an agreed date and the ministers facing unresolved accusations.

On Friday, 23 October, Sophon confirmed that the debate would not proceed during the final week of October. Instead, Parliament will meet on 28 and 29 October for ordinary legislative business.

Those sittings will cover bills, parliamentary motions and urgent questions. Crucially, they will not include the no-confidence proceedings under Section 151 of the Constitution. November and December are now being considered, although neither month has an agreed timetable.

The decision followed two unsuccessful rounds of negotiations on 21 and 22 October. Opposition whips walked out after rejecting the government’s proposed timetable. Subsequently, Sophon intervened and requested further discussions. The postponement has since developed into a separate confrontation over Parliament’s independence and the Cabinet’s role in scheduling scrutiny.

People’s Party and Democrats challenge Cabinet timetable as 145 MPs prepare to question 18 ministers

People’s Party representatives accuse the government of attempting to impose its preferred timetable on Parliament. Democrat politicians have joined the criticism, demanding sufficient time to question all 18 ministers.

Conversely, government representatives insist they offered substantial concessions and were ready to begin proceedings on Monday, 26 October. Anutin has repeatedly maintained that ministers have nothing to hide and are prepared to defend their records.

The confrontation began after opposition leader Natthaphong Ruengpanyawut submitted a seven-page no-confidence motion on 8 October. The document carried 145 MPs’ signatures and targeted the Prime Minister alongside 17 ministers.

It raised accusations involving political influence, public appointments, budget management and government performance. Moreover, the opposition identified several controversies involving state institutions and the conduct of individual ministers.

Among the principal subjects are the Senate selection controversy and irregularities involving local government examinations. Opposition MPs also intend to examine independent oversight bodies and accusations of political interference in public institutions.

Other questions concern flooding, living costs, criminal networks and the government’s ฿1.6 billion TH-AI Passport project. In particular, the opposition has prepared material concerning public spending, procurement and ministerial supervision.

Bhumjaithai ministers face targeted scrutiny as coalition voting questions follow October debate dispute

Notably, the motion concentrates on Bhumjaithai ministers rather than the entire coalition Cabinet. Pheu Thai ministers have not been included among those facing questioning.

Consequently, coalition MPs may eventually vote on accusations against individual Bhumjaithai figures. Pheu Thai politicians have previously examined aspects of the Senate selection controversy, including questions involving the Department of Special Investigation. Nevertheless, those earlier inquiries do not establish how the party will vote.

The timetable dispute began when the Cabinet proposed three principal debate days, from 27 to 29 October. Opposition representatives immediately objected, arguing that three days were insufficient to examine 18 ministers.

Furthermore, they said the proposed arrangements would force substantial changes to prepared speeches and supporting evidence. The opposition had already organised its speakers around specific ministers and accusations.

Government chief whip Korrawee Prissananantakul subsequently sought additional time through Paradorn Prissananantakul, Minister attached to the Prime Minister’s Office. Paradorn consulted the Cabinet about extending the proceedings.

Following those discussions, the government offered another debate day. Under the revised arrangement, questioning would begin on Monday, 26 October, and continue until Thursday, 29 October. MPs would then vote on Friday, 30 October.

Government offers extended sittings until 2 am but opposition demands 60 hours to question ministers

Korrawee said the proposed schedule provided 63 hours and 30 minutes of parliamentary proceedings. Of that total, the opposition would receive approximately 45 to 48 hours for questioning and presenting evidence.

However, the arrangement involved extended sittings, potentially continuing until 2 am. Opposition representatives objected to compressing their contributions into lengthy overnight sessions. They maintained that the number of ministers and the range of accusations justified additional time.

Democrat deputy leader Satit Wongnongtoey rejected the revised proposal. He argued that the opposition required approximately 60 hours to examine all 18 ministers.

By comparison, previous no-confidence debates involving only nine or ten ministers had received around 40 hours. Satit maintained that the present motion required considerably more time because it targeted almost twice that number.

The opposition had prepared contributions involving individual ministers, supporting documents and separate accusations. Accordingly, reducing the debate would require speakers to abandon or rearrange substantial material. Satit also questioned the government’s insistence on completing the proceedings during October. He maintained that the debate could move into November if ministers provided sufficient time.

Cabinet cites overseas commitments as opposition walks out and October negotiations collapse again

Government representatives rejected that approach, citing Cabinet commitments and overseas engagements. They said no suitable continuous period had been identified during November.

With 18 ministers required to attend, scheduling presented additional difficulties. Nevertheless, the opposition maintained that ministerial commitments should not determine the limits of parliamentary questioning.

Korrawee expressed disappointment after the negotiations collapsed. He said both sides should have worked towards an agreement allowing Parliament to scrutinise the government. Instead, he complained that opposition representatives walked out before a compromise could be reached. According to Korrawee, the Cabinet had already increased the available time beyond its original offer.

The opposition disputed that account. Its representatives maintained that four debate days remained insufficient, particularly given the number of ministers involved. They also challenged the Cabinet’s decision to determine when ministers would be available before parliamentary negotiations concluded.

Eventually, the disagreement brought discussions to a halt, prompting opposition representatives to approach Speaker Sophon directly.

Speaker Sophon seeks fresh compromise after failed negotiations and leaves October debate off agenda

On 23 October, Sophon confirmed that the no-confidence debate would not appear on Parliament’s October agenda. He said First Deputy House Speaker Mallika Jirapunvanit had conducted the earlier negotiations on his behalf.

Both meetings had failed to produce agreement. Thereafter, the Speaker met opposition representatives and suggested another compromise involving four debate days and a fifth day for voting.

Sophon acknowledged that the opposition would need to reorganise its speakers and supporting material. Even so, he urged both sides to continue negotiations rather than impose a timetable without agreement.

He stressed that parliamentary proceedings required adequate preparation from those asking questions and those answering them. Additionally, Parliament would need sufficient attendance to maintain a quorum throughout the debate.

The Speaker indicated that he could formally contact the Cabinet about alternative dates. However, he stressed that correspondence alone would not settle the dispute. Both sides needed to negotiate and make concessions.

If discussions failed, a formal decision might be required, with any legal objections examined separately. Sophon also emphasised the importance of resolving parliamentary disagreements through dialogue.

Speaker’s intervention draws Democrat support as People’s Party challenges Cabinet control of Parliament

His intervention left the government’s preferred October timetable off Parliament’s agenda. Nevertheless, Sophon has not accepted the opposition’s original demand for five full questioning days.

His proposed compromise remains four debate days followed by voting on the fifth. Democrat deputy leader Satit welcomed the intervention and praised the Speaker’s willingness to allow further negotiations.

Meanwhile, the People’s Party has intensified its criticism of the Cabinet’s conduct. Parit Wacharasindhu, a party-list MP and chairman of the opposition whip, accused the government of treating Parliament as subordinate to the executive. He questioned the Cabinet’s decision to announce ministerial availability before the parliamentary whips reached agreement.

Parit said he had examined previous procedures and found no comparable case involving such a Cabinet decision. According to him, the government effectively informed Parliament when ministers would be available. Opposition MPs were then expected to organise their scrutiny around those dates. He argued that this placed pressure on Parliament to accept the government’s preferred timetable.

Parit says opposition offered to postpone debate but insists ministers must face parliamentary scrutiny

In addition, Parit rejected suggestions that opposition negotiators were unwilling to accommodate genuine scheduling difficulties. He said the opposition had already offered to postpone the debate if ministers faced unavoidable commitments. However, he insisted that any postponement must provide sufficient time for questioning.

“When I started to see things going downhill, I even said that although we initially planned to hold the debate in late October or early November, if there were real obstacles, like the Prime Minister having to attend an international conference, we were ready to postpone it. We only asked that sufficient days and time be allocated for this task,” Parit said.

He added that the opposition had repeated its willingness to postpone the proceedings if necessary. However, he accused the government of refusing to provide an acceptable alternative.

“Yesterday, we reiterated this proposal: if it was necessary to postpone it to allow sufficient time for both sides to perform their duties, we were willing. But to this day, the government still hasn’t offered any solution. They continue to insist on holding the debate next week and refuse to give us the five days or sufficient hours to fulfil our role. Because of this, there’s no conclusion,” he said.

Anutin says ministers cancelled engagements as opposition proposes November dates for the debate

The opposition therefore accepts postponement in principle but rejects the government’s proposed allocation of questioning time. On another front, Democrat deputy leader Chaiyachana Dejdecho suggested holding the debate from 7 to 11 November. Government representatives responded that ministers would not be available throughout that period.

Natthaphong has also indicated that a postponement of one or two weeks would be acceptable. However, he wants sufficient time for the opposition to present its evidence. The People’s Party has additionally raised concerns about a possible clash with parliamentary consultations on the 2028 national budget. No agreement has been reached on alternative dates.

On Saturday morning, 24 October, Anutin addressed the dispute while attending an engagement at Sanam Luang. The Prime Minister insisted that his government had been ready for the debate beginning on 26 October. He said ministers named in the motion had cancelled engagements to remain in Thailand. Furthermore, the Cabinet meeting had been moved to Monday morning to accommodate parliamentary proceedings.

Anutin said the failure to agree on the October schedule had complicated arrangements for November. Several international commitments were already planned. These included the APEC leaders’ meeting in Shenzhen and the ASEAN summit in Manila. Other engagements included a visit by China’s prime minister to Thailand and OECD-related meetings.

PM leaves debate timing to Speaker as Cabinet warns November commitments limit available dates

The Prime Minister said the next decision rested with Sophon because negotiations between government and opposition representatives had failed. Asked whether the debate might not take place at all, Anutin replied: “I don’t know, because the government is already prepared, and we want everything to be concluded.”

The response left the timetable unresolved. However, Anutin did not announce any decision to cancel the motion. Separately, Paradorn confirmed that the debate would not proceed during the following week. He also warned that November presented additional scheduling difficulties.

The first week includes government commitments following Anutin’s overseas travel. A mobile Cabinet meeting in Udon Thani and horticultural exhibition activities are also scheduled. Elsewhere in the Cabinet, ministers reportedly have international engagements during the second week. Anutin is also due to attend APEC-related meetings later in November.

Paradorn acknowledged that further delays could expose the government to accusations of obstructing parliamentary scrutiny. Nevertheless, no alternative dates have been agreed. The government’s position remains that ministers are prepared to answer questions but require a workable timetable. The opposition continues to insist that adequate questioning time must come first.

Examination fraud and gambling-linked transactions add pressure as opposition examines Bhumjaithai figures

The confrontation has developed alongside investigations into several controversies involving Bhumjaithai politicians and their associates. One concerns the local government examination cheating scandal, involving thousands of candidates and questions about the handling of suspects. Opposition representatives have identified the affair among the subjects requiring parliamentary scrutiny. The case also raises questions about public appointments and government supervision.

Another controversy concerns the assets and business connections of Suchada Sangtanasap, a Bhumjaithai MP for Chaiyaphum, and her husband, Taiyang Zhang. Former Democrat MP Sirichok Sopha has repeatedly questioned financial connections involving the couple and online gambling operations. In particular, attention has focused on Shuffle.com and cryptocurrency transactions.

Sirichok has also raised questions concerning Maxbit Digital Asset Co., Ltd., a licensed cryptocurrency trading company. The controversy widened after questions emerged involving Pakkhet Ratchakitprakarn, an executive associated with the PT Group. Pakkhet is the son of Deputy Prime Minister and Transport Minister Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn, a senior Bhumjaithai figure.

The former Democrat MP raised questions about business connections involving Maxbit and transactions associated with Shuffle.com. However, the supplied information does not establish criminal wrongdoing by Pakkhet, Maxbit or the PT Group. The financial questions remain under public scrutiny, while investigators continue examining transactions associated with the gambling website.

Phiphat defends lawful cryptocurrency trading and clashes with former Democrat MP over election defeats

Phiphat responded publicly, saying the relevant company should explain its transactions. He maintained that Pakkhet’s company was properly listed on the stock exchange. Accordingly, any questions concerning its financial activities should be answered through appropriate corporate procedures. The Transport Minister also pointed out that cryptocurrency companies could operate legally under Securities and Exchange Commission licences.

He argued that lawful trading activities should not automatically become political accusations. However, the disagreement quickly developed into a personal confrontation between Phiphat and Sirichok. The Transport Minister accused the former Democrat MP of attempting to revive his political standing after repeated election defeats.

“Politicians who want to talk about something shouldn’t bring up personal matters. They think that because they lost in the constituencies I oversee, they can’t use that to boost their own image. I think that’s going to be difficult for them, because in the past they were MPs for many terms, and after that they didn’t do anything, losing three times in a row,” Phiphat said.

The Transport Minister confirmed that he had spoken to Sirichok by telephone on the night of 22 October. Sirichok was abroad and was expected to return the following week to provide further clarification. Phiphat said he was confident that Pakkhet could explain the transactions. Nevertheless, he warned Sirichok against drawing him personally into the controversy.

“I would tell him that whatever he wants to say about me, he shouldn’t bring me into it. What he did was legal, but if it’s illegal, then let’s deal with that. But whatever is legal, don’t try to boost your own popularity, because you don’t have any popularity anyway right now. I have to be frank, this is just how I am. I can’t speak in political jargon. If you counter me, I’ll counter you.”

Sirichok rejects personal attacks and demands evidence over links to online gambling transactions

Sirichok responded by insisting that corporate registration and lawful shareholder structures did not prevent financial scrutiny. He maintained that companies facing questions about transactions should provide documentary evidence. Furthermore, he rejected Phiphat’s suggestion that election defeats undermined his right to investigate political figures.

“I haven’t accused anyone, yet you’re rushing to defend them even though no one has made any accusations. Therefore, there’s no need to get so worked up. Let the company explain with evidence. As for failing the election, I accept that I lost, but I never considered losing an election to be shameful,” Sirichok said.

He subsequently challenged Phiphat to answer questions with evidence rather than personal criticism. Sirichok maintained that losing an election did not prevent a former politician from examining government conduct or financial transactions. He also accused the Transport Minister of attempting to dismiss questions through personal attacks.

“I failed the election, but I didn’t fail the investigation into the money trail. Finally, let me leave you with one last sentence: It’s true I don’t have a spotlight, but strangely enough, when I shine a light along the money trail, why do those in power seem so blinded?” Sirichok stated.

DSI traces Thai gambling accounts and transfers linked to Shuffle.com under possible money-laundering laws

In parallel, the Department of Special Investigation has begun gathering financial information concerning Thai customers of Shuffle.com. Investigators are examining transfers involving bank accounts associated with the online gambling website. Their objective is to identify Thai individuals who received payments or conducted transactions through the platform. Those identified may subsequently be summoned as witnesses.

Investigators are also examining the number of accounts involved and the total value of transactions. The findings will help determine whether the matter qualifies for investigation as a special case. The DSI explained that online gambling investigations differ from fraud cases because participants generally enter gambling transactions voluntarily.

Unlike criminal scam operations, gambling transactions do not necessarily involve victims deceived into surrendering money. Consequently, investigators must establish the financial structure of the activity and identify possible offences. Particular attention is being paid to the movement of funds between accounts linked to the gambling website.

Potential legal provisions include the Gambling Act of 1935 and the Anti-Money Laundering Act of 1999. If investigators establish relevant offences, further action could include freezing bank accounts and seizing assets linked to unlawful gambling proceeds. However, the supplied information does not establish that the politicians or companies named in the controversy committed criminal offences.

Gambling inquiry remains separate as no-confidence delay raises constitutional questions over scrutiny

The DSI investigation therefore remains separate from the parliamentary no-confidence motion. Nevertheless, both matters have become subjects of political scrutiny involving Bhumjaithai figures. The examination of cryptocurrency transactions has also widened the public dispute between Sirichok and Phiphat.

The parliamentary confrontation raises separate questions about the procedures governing no-confidence motions. Section 151 of Thailand’s Constitution allows qualifying MPs to submit a motion against individual ministers or the Council of Ministers. The opposition’s motion carries 145 signatures, exceeding the constitutional threshold.

However, a disagreement over scheduling does not automatically invalidate the proceedings or establish a constitutional violation. The motion has neither been withdrawn nor rejected. Instead, Sophon has requested further negotiations between government and opposition representatives. Satit has warned that abandoning the debate would raise serious constitutional concerns.

People’s Party representatives continue questioning the Cabinet’s role in determining parliamentary proceedings. By contrast, the government insists it has offered substantial time and remains ready to answer the accusations. The dispute remains unresolved because neither side has accepted the other’s proposed arrangements.

Coalition voting remains uncertain as opposition prepares for fresh talks while DSI pursues inquiry

There is also the outstanding question of how coalition parties will vote. Because the motion concentrates on Bhumjaithai ministers, Pheu Thai MPs may face individual divisions involving their coalition partners. However, no parliamentary vote has taken place, and earlier investigations do not establish the party’s eventual position.

The next stage is expected on Wednesday, 28 October, when opposition parties meet at Parliament during the afternoon. They will consider whether to accept Sophon’s proposal for four debate days followed by voting on the fifth. Such an agreement would require changes to prepared speeches, speakers and questioning arrangements.

Afterwards, Sophon is expected to arrange another round of negotiations involving government, opposition and Cabinet representatives. November and December remain possible periods for the debate. However, neither month has an agreed timetable, and ministers’ schedules remain disputed.

Parliament will meanwhile proceed with ordinary legislative business on 28 and 29 October. The motion against Anutin and the 17 ministers remains pending, with no date agreed for their questioning.

Separately, the DSI’s investigation into Shuffle.com financial transactions continues. Investigators are identifying Thai account holders and examining possible gambling and money-laundering offences. Sirichok is expected to return to Thailand the following week to provide further clarification about the financial connections he has questioned.

在生活、媒体、政治、泰国

在针对18名部长的不信任动议因激烈的谈判而陷入僵局后，总理阿努廷·查恩维拉库尔面临政治摊牌。由于人民党和民主党指责内阁阻挠议会审查，议长索蓬·萨拉姆介入了此事。与此同时，涉及参议院选举、考试舞弊和政治干预的丑闻可能造成进一步的损害。此外，调查人员正在追踪与一些显赫政治家族有关的网络赌博和加密货币交易。副总理皮帕·拉差吉帕卡恩也与前民主党议员西里乔克·索帕陷入了激烈的公开争吵。这项由145名议员支持的不信任动议仍未得到解决，预计将在11月延期。

泰国总理阿努廷·查恩维拉库尔面临越来越大的议会压力，此前，由于就发言时间问题进行的激烈谈判，泰国不信任投票辩论被推迟。众议院议长索蓬·萨拉姆已将该辩论从议会10月份的议程中移除。

与此同时，人民党和民主党指责政府试图左右议会的审查程序。这场冲突正值政府对涉及知名政治家族的考试舞弊、政治干预、网络赌博和加密货币交易等问题展开调查之际。

该动议针对阿努廷和其他17名部长，他们主要与执政的泰自豪党有关。然而，眼下的争议焦点在于反对党议员将有多少时间质询他们。

反对党要求进行五天辩论，议长将不信任投票推迟到进一步磋商后进行。

反对党要求进行五天完整的辩论，之后再单独进行一天的投票。作为回应，政府提出进行四天的质询，第五天进行投票。谈判破裂，导致该动议未能确定日期，部长们也面临着悬而未决的指控。

10月23日星期五，索丰确认辩论不会在10月最后一周进行。议会将于10月28日和29日召开会议，处理日常立法事务。

这些会议将审议法案、议会动议和紧急质询。至关重要的是，它们不包括根据宪法第151条进行的不信任动议程序。目前正在考虑11月和12月举行会议，但这两个月的具体时间表尚未确定。

此前，10月21日和22日的两轮谈判均告失败。反对党党鞭拒绝了政府提出的时间表后集体退场。随后，索蓬介入并要求进行进一步磋商。此次延期已演变为一场关于议会独立性和内阁在安排审查程序中的角色问题的另一场冲突。

人民党和民主党对内阁日程安排提出质疑，145名议员准备质询18位部长。

人民党代表指责政府试图将自身偏好的时间表强加于议会。民主党政客也加入批评行列，要求给予足够的时间质询全部18位部长。

相反，政府代表坚称他们已做出实质性让步，并准备于10月26日星期一开始审理。阿努廷一再强调，部长们没有什么可隐瞒的，并准备捍卫他们的过往记录。

这场对抗始于反对党领袖纳塔蓬·伦帕尼亚武特于10月8日提交的一份长达七页的不信任动议。该文件有145名议员的签名，矛头直指总理和17名部长。

报告提出了一系列指控，涉及政治干预、公职任命、预算管理和政府绩效。此外，反对派还指出了一些涉及国家机构和个别部长行为的争议。

主要议题包括参议院选举争议和地方政府考试违规行为。反对党议员还计划审查独立监督机构以及有关政治干预公共机构的指控。

其他问题涉及洪水、生活成本、犯罪网络以及政府耗资16亿泰铢的泰国-印度护照项目。特别是，反对党已准备好有关公共支出、采购和部长级监督的材料。

继10月辩论争议之后，泰自豪党部长们因联盟投票问题而面临重点审查。

值得注意的是，该动议仅针对泰自豪党部长，而非整个联合内阁。为泰党部长并未被列入质询名单。

因此，执政联盟的议员最终可能会就针对泰自豪党个别成员的指控进行投票。为泰党政界人士此前已调查过参议院选举争议的各个方面，包括涉及特别调查部的问题。然而，这些早期的调查并不能决定该党将如何投票。

时间表争议始于内阁提议将主要辩论日定为10月27日至29日三天。反对党代表立即提出反对意见，认为三天时间不足以审查18位部长。

此外，他们表示，拟议的安排将迫使反对派对准备好的演讲稿和佐证材料进行重大修改。反对派此前已经围绕特定部长和指控安排了演讲嘉宾。

政府首席党鞭科拉维·普里索纳南塔库尔随后通过总理府部长帕拉东·普里索纳南塔库尔请求延长审理时间。帕拉东就延长审理程序咨询了内阁。

经过讨论，政府提议增加一天的辩论时间。根据修订后的安排，质询将于10月26日星期一开始，持续至10月29日星期四。议员们随后将于10月30日星期五进行投票表决。

政府同意将会议延长至凌晨2点，但反对党要求60小时质询部长。

科拉维表示，拟议的日程安排提供了63小时30分钟的议会程序。其中，反对党将获得大约45至48小时用于质询和提交证据。

然而，这样的安排意味着会议将持续很长时间，甚至可能到凌晨两点。反对党代表反对将他们的发言压缩到漫长的通宵会议中。他们坚持认为，部长人数众多，指控范围广泛，因此有必要延长会议时间。

民主党副党魁萨提·翁农托伊拒绝了修改后的提案。他认为，反对党需要大约60个小时才能审查全部18位部长。

相比之下，以往仅涉及九到十位部长的不信任动议辩论大约耗时40小时。萨蒂特认为，本次动议需要更多时间，因为它涉及的部长人数几乎是之前的两倍。

反对派准备了多份发言材料，包括个别部长发言、佐证文件以及单独的指控。因此，缩短辩论时间将迫使发言者放弃或重新安排大量材料。萨蒂特还质疑政府坚持在10月份完成辩论程序的做法。他认为，如果部长们提供充足的时间，辩论可以延至11月份进行。

内阁以海外承诺为由，反对派退出谈判，10月份的谈判再次破裂。

政府代表拒绝了这一提议，理由是内阁已有承诺并有海外行程安排。他们表示，11月期间没有找到合适的连续时间段。

由于需要18位部长出席，日程安排带来了额外的困难。尽管如此，反对党仍然坚持认为，部长们的出席安排不应限制议会质询的范围。

科拉维对谈判破裂表示失望。他表示，双方本应努力达成一项协议，允许议会监督政府。然而，他抱怨说，反对党代表在达成妥协之前就退出了谈判。科拉维称，内阁此前已延长了谈判时间。

反对党对这一说法提出异议。其代表坚持认为，考虑到涉及的部长人数众多，四天的辩论时间仍然不足。他们还质疑内阁在议会谈判结束前就确定部长们何时出席的决定。

最终，分歧导致讨论陷入僵局，促使反对派代表直接与议长索蓬接洽。

议长索芬在谈判失败后寻求新的妥协方案，并将10月份的辩论从议程中移除。

10月23日，索蓬确认，不信任投票不会列入议会10月份的议程。他表示，第一副议长马利卡·吉拉蓬瓦尼特已代表他进行了之前的谈判。

两次会议均未能达成协议。此后，议长会见了反对党代表，并提出了另一项妥协方案，即安排四天辩论和一天投票。

索蓬承认反对派需要重新安排发言人和辅助材料。即便如此，他仍敦促双方继续谈判，而不是在未达成协议的情况下强加时间表。

他强调，议会程序要求提问者和回答者都做好充分准备。此外，议会需要足够的出席人数，以确保辩论全程达到法定人数。

议长表示，他可以正式联系内阁商讨其他日期。但他强调，仅靠信函往来无法解决争端，双方需要协商并做出让步。

如果磋商失败，则可能需要做出正式决定，任何法律异议都将另行审查。索丰还强调了通过对话解决议会分歧的重要性。

议长的干预赢得了民主党的支持，人民党挑战内阁对议会的控制权。

他的介入使得政府原定的十月时间表未能列入议会议程。尽管如此，索蓬仍未接受反对派最初提出的为期五天的完整质询要求。

他提出的折衷方案是先进行四天辩论，第五天进行投票表决。民主党副领袖萨蒂特对议长的介入表示欢迎，并赞扬他愿意允许进一步谈判。

与此同时，人民党加大了对内阁行为的批评力度。该党议员、反对党党鞭主席帕里特·瓦查拉辛杜指责政府将议会置于行政部门之下。他质疑内阁在议会党鞭达成一致之前就宣布部长们的日程安排。

帕里特表示，他已审查过以往的程序，并未发现任何涉及此类内阁决定的类似案例。据他所说，政府实际上是提前告知议会部长们何时可以出席会议。反对党议员随后需要围绕这些日期安排他们的审查工作。他认为，这给议会施加了压力，迫使其接受政府的时间表。

帕里特表示，反对党曾提出推迟辩论，但他坚持认为部长们必须接受议会的审查。

此外，帕里特驳斥了反对派谈判代表不愿体谅实际日程安排困难的说法。他表示，反对派此前已提出，如果部长们面临不可避免的事务，他们愿意推迟辩论。但他坚持认为，任何推迟都必须留出足够的时间进行质询。

帕里特说：“当我开始看到事情朝着不利的方向发展时，我甚至说过，虽然我们最初计划在10月下旬或11月初举行辩论，但如果出现真正的障碍，例如总理必须出席国际会议，我们准备推迟辩论。我们只要求为这项工作分配足够的时间和天数。”

他补充说，反对派已重申，如有必要，愿意推迟审理程序。但他指责政府拒绝提供可接受的替代方案。

“昨天我们重申了这一提议：如果需要推迟辩论，以便双方有足够的时间履行各自的职责，我们愿意这样做。但时至今日，政府仍未提出任何解决方案。他们坚持下周举行辩论，拒绝给我们五天或足够的时间来履行我们的职责。正因如此，辩论无法达成任何结论。”他说道。

阿努廷表示，由于反对派提议将辩论日期定在11月，部长们取消了各项活动。

因此，反对党原则上接受延期，但拒绝政府提出的质询时间安排方案。另一方面，民主党副领袖柴亚查纳·德杰乔建议将辩论安排在11月7日至11日举行。政府代表回应称，部长们在此期间无法出席。

纳塔蓬也表示，推迟一到两周是可以接受的。但他希望有足够的时间让反对派提交证据。人民党还对可能与议会就2028年国家预算进行的磋商发生冲突表示担忧。目前尚未就其他日期达成一致。

10月24日星期六上午，阿努廷在皇家田广场出席活动时就此事发表了讲话。总理坚称，他的政府已为10月26日开始的辩论做好了准备。他表示，动议中提到的部长们已经取消了行程，留在泰国。此外，为了配合议会的议程，内阁会议已改期至星期一上午举行。

阿努廷表示，未能就10月份的日程安排达成一致，导致11月份的安排变得复杂。此前已安排了多项国际活动，包括在深圳举行的亚太经合组织领导人会议和在马尼拉举行的东盟峰会。其他活动还包括中国总理访问泰国以及与经合组织相关的会议。

首相将辩论时间交由议长决定，内阁警告称11月的各项安排限制了可用的日期。

总理表示，由于政府与反对派代表之间的谈判破裂，下一步的决定权在于索蓬。当被问及辩论是否可能根本不会举行时，阿努廷回答说：“我不知道，因为政府已经做好准备，我们希望一切都能尘埃落定。”

这一回应并未解决时间表问题。然而，阿努廷并未宣布取消该动议的任何决定。另据帕拉多恩确认，辩论不会在下周进行。他还警告说，11月的日程安排可能会更加困难。

阿努廷结束海外访问后，第一周将履行政府公务。此外，还计划在乌隆他尼举行流动内阁会议，并参加园艺展览活动。据报道，内阁其他部长在第二周也有国际访问安排。阿努廷还将于11月下旬出席亚太经合组织相关会议。

帕拉多恩承认，进一步拖延可能会使政府面临妨碍议会监督的指控。然而，目前尚未就其他日期达成一致。政府的立场仍然是，部长们准备回答问题，但需要一个切实可行的时间表。反对党则继续坚持，必须首先确保有足够的质询时间。

考试舞弊和赌博相关交易给反对派施加了压力，反对派正在调查泰自豪党的数据。

这场对抗与针对泰自豪党政客及其同伙的多起丑闻的调查同步展开。其中一起丑闻涉及地方政府考试作弊，牵涉数千名考生，并引发了对涉案人员处理方式的质疑。反对党代表已将此案列为需要议会审查的事项之一。该案也引发了人们对公职任命和政府监督的质疑。

另一项争议涉及猜也奔府议员苏查达·桑塔纳萨普及其丈夫张太阳的资产和商业关系。前民主党议员西里乔克·索帕曾多次质疑这对夫妇与网络赌博运营之间的财务联系。尤其引人注目的是Shuffle.com网站和加密货币交易。

Sirichok还对Maxbit Digital Asset Co., Ltd.（一家持牌加密货币交易公司）提出了质疑。随后，PT集团高管Pakkhet Ratchakitprakarn也牵涉其中，引发争议。Pakkhet是副总理兼交通部长Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn的儿子，后者是泰自豪党（Bhumjaithai）的资深人物。

这位前民主党议员对Maxbit的商业联系以及与Shuffle.com相关的交易提出了质疑。然而，目前提供的信息并未证实Pakkhet、Maxbit或PT集团存在犯罪行为。这些财务问题仍处于公众的密切关注之下，调查人员也仍在继续审查与该赌博网站相关的交易。

Phiphat捍卫合法的加密货币交易，并因选举失利与前民主党议员发生冲突。

皮帕特公开回应称，相关公司应该解释其交易。他坚持认为，帕克赫特的公司已在证券交易所合法上市。因此，任何有关其财务活动的问题都应通过适当的公司程序予以解答。交通部长还指出，加密货币公司可以在证券交易委员会的许可下合法运营。

他认为，合法的贸易活动不应自动演变成政治指控。然而，这场分歧很快演变成皮帕特和西里乔克之间的个人冲突。交通部长指责这位前民主党议员在屡次选举失利后，试图重振其政治地位。

“政治人物想谈论某些事情时，不应该提及个人恩怨。他们认为，因为在我管辖的选区落败，就不能利用这一点来提升自己的形象。我认为这对他们来说会很困难，因为他们过去当过很多届议员，之后却一事无成，连续三次落败，”皮帕特说道。

交通部长证实，他于10月22日晚与西里乔克通过电话。西里乔克当时身在国外，预计将于下周回国提供进一步说明。皮帕特表示，他相信帕克特能够解释这些交易。尽管如此，他还是警告西里乔克不要将他本人卷入这场争议。

我会告诉他，不管他想怎么说我，都别把我牵扯进来。他做的事是合法的，但如果违法，那就得依法处理。不过，不管合法与否，都别想着提升自己的声望，因为你现在根本就没什么声望。坦白说，我就是这样的人。我不懂政治术语。你要是反驳我，我也会反驳你。

西里乔克驳斥了针对他的人身攻击，并要求提供证据证明其与网络赌博交易有关。

西里乔克回应称，公司注册和合法的股东结构并不能阻止财务审查。他坚持认为，面临交易质询的公司应该提供书面证据。此外，他还驳斥了皮帕特的说法，即选举失利会削弱他调查政治人物的权利。

“我没有指控任何人，你们却急于为他们辩护，尽管没有人提出任何指控。因此，没有必要如此激动。让公司拿出证据来解释。至于选举失败，我承认我输了，但我从未认为选举失败是可耻的，”西里乔克说道。

随后，他要求皮帕特用证据而非人身攻击来回答问题。西里乔克坚持认为，选举失利并不妨碍一位前政治家审查政府行为或财务交易。他还指责交通部长试图通过人身攻击来回避问题。

“我选举失败了，但我没有辜负对资金流向的调查。最后，我想对大家说最后一句话：没错，我没有聚光灯，但奇怪的是，当我追查资金流向时，为什么那些掌权者却视而不见？”西里乔克说道。

泰国特别调查局（DSI）根据可能的洗钱法，追踪与Shuffle.com相关的泰国赌博账户和转账记录。

与此同时，泰国特别调查局已开始收集有关Shuffle.com泰国用户的财务信息。调查人员正在审查与该在线赌博网站相关的银行账户的转账记录。他们的目标是查明通过该平台收款或进行交易的泰国公民。被查明的人员随后可能会被传唤作证。

调查人员还在审查涉案账户数量和交易总额。调查结果将有助于确定此案是否符合特殊案件的调查范围。特别调查局解释说，网络赌博调查与欺诈案件不同，因为参与者通常是自愿进行赌博交易的。

与刑事诈骗不同，赌博交易并不一定涉及受害者被欺骗而交出钱财。因此，调查人员必须查明此类活动的财务结构并识别可能的犯罪行为。调查人员尤其关注与赌博网站关联的账户之间的资金流动情况。

可能适用的法律条款包括1935年的《赌博法》和1999年的《反洗钱法》。如果调查人员确认存在相关违法行为，进一步的行动可能包括冻结银行账户和查封与非法赌博所得相关的资产。然而，目前提供的信息并不能证明争议中提及的政治人物或公司犯有刑事罪行。

赌博调查仍独立进行，不信任动议的延迟引发了有关审查的宪法问题。

因此，DSI的调查与议会的不信任动议是相互独立的。然而，这两件事都已成为涉及泰自豪党人士的政治关注焦点。对加密货币交易的审查也加剧了西里乔克和皮帕之间的公开争端。

这场议会冲突也引发了关于不信任动议程序的其他问题。泰国宪法第151条允许符合资格的议员对个别部长或内阁提出不信任动议。反对派的动议已获得145个签名，超过了宪法规定的门槛。

然而，对日程安排的分歧并不必然导致程序无效或构成违宪。该动议既未被撤回，也未被驳回。相反，索蓬要求政府和反对派代表之间进行进一步谈判。萨蒂特警告说，放弃辩论将引发严重的宪法问题。

人民党代表继续质疑内阁在决定议会程序中的作用。与之相反，政府坚称已给予充足的时间，并随时准备回应这些指控。由于双方均未接受对方提出的安排，争端仍未解决。

由于反对派准备重启谈判，而特别调查局（DSI）仍在进行调查，联合政府的投票前景仍然不明朗。

还有一个悬而未决的问题，那就是执政联盟各党将如何投票。由于该动议主要针对泰自豪党部长，为泰党议员可能会面临与各自执政联盟伙伴之间的分歧。然而，议会尚未进行投票，之前的调查也未能确定该党的最终立场。

下一阶段预计将于10月28日星期三下午在议会举行，届时反对党将审议是否接受索芬提出的方案，即先进行四天辩论，再就第五天进行投票表决。这样的方案需要对准备好的发言稿、发言人和质询安排进行修改。

之后，索蓬预计将安排新一轮政府、反对党和内阁代表参与的谈判。11月和12月仍是可能的谈判时间。然而，这两个月的日程安排尚未达成一致，部长们的日程安排也存在争议。

与此同时，议会将于10月28日和29日照常进行立法议程。针对阿努廷和17位部长的动议仍悬而未决，尚未确定对他们进行质询的日期。

此外，泰国特别调查局（DSI）对Shuffle.com金融交易的调查仍在继续。调查人员正在确认泰国账户持有人的身份，并调查可能存在的赌博和洗钱犯罪行为。预计西里乔克将于下周返回泰国，就他所质疑的金融关联提供进一步的说明。
