Thailand's ruling government is facing a crisis as a leaked phone call between Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra and former Cambodian leader Hun Sen sparks outrage and calls for Shinawatra's resignation. The largest conservative party has left the ruling coalition, leaving Shinawatra's party with a slight majority. Experts say that the current government could be facing dissolution if the fallout continues.
