Paetongtarn Shinawatra, at 37 years old, has made history as Thailand’s youngest prime minister. The daughter of the influential Shinawatra family, known for its populist policies, Paetongtarn first entered the political arena last year, campaigning in rural areas despite being visibly pregnant.

Paetongtarn’s rise to power marks a significant moment in Thai politics, continuing her family’s political legacy while navigating the complexities of a challenging electoral debut.
