BANGKOK : Thailand's monarchy, usually off limits during parliamentary debates, became the centrepiece of discussion on a day when the legislature was meant to choose the future prime minister. And so it was that the premiership bid by 42-year-old Pita Limjaroenrat (pic) floundered on Thursday (July 13), having fallen 51 votes short of the 375-vote minimum to secure his place. Strong conservative forces within Thailand meant that Pita's bid was always going to be a long shot, despite his party winning the May 14 general election.
