<h1>Thailand dissolves Parliament, elections in 45-60 days as caretaker government manages border conflict with Cambodia</h1> Thailand's prime minister has obtained royal approval to dissolve Parliament, triggering general elections to be held within 45 to 60 days of the Royal Decree. During this interim period, the prime minister will serve as caretaker head of government with restricted authority, notably lacking power to approve a new budget. The dissolution legally returns electoral authority to the public while maintaining continuity of governance under limited powers. The timing coincides with Thailand's ongoing large-scale military engagement with Cambodia over a longstanding border dispute, adding potential legal and constitutional implications for executive decision-making during the caretaker period.
