BANGKOK, June 5 (The Nation Thailand/ANN): Leading Thai politician Paetongtarn Shinawatra’s absence was not felt too much at the Pheu Thai event in Surin because her older brother Panthongtae was present.

Paetongtarn said in a Facebook post on Saturday that she had tested positive for Covid-19 after visiting her father Thaksin and aunt Yingluck in Singapore. The Shinawatra siblings, Thaksin and Yingluck, are former prime ministers living in self-exile.
