Amid escalating border disputes between Cambodia and Thailand, the leaked phone conversation ignited national outrage in Thailand, prompting an opposition party to call for Paetongtarn’s resignation and a party within her coalition to quit.

Thailand’s Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra has apologized for the political turbulence set off by a leaked recording of her negotiating with Cambodia’s former leader in the two nations' latest border dispute.

Thailand's Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced Thursday that it will hand a letter of protest to Cambodia's government after a call between the two countries was allegedly leaked by a high-profile Cambodian official.
