The Thai Prime Minister has 15 days to make her case--after the high court suspended her for a breach of ethics.
This comes after a phone call between her and Cambodia's Senate President Hun Sen, discussing an earlier border dispute.
A leaked audio of that call -in which the PM referred to Hun Sen- as 'uncle' and appeared to criticise a Thai army Commander-- has sparked outrage and protests.
So, what's next for Paetongtarn Shinawatra?
And for a country that's seen its fair share of military coups, what will it mean for democracy?
