Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra was admitted to the hospital on Thursday night after returning from an official visit to the Kingdom of Cambodia, according to Government Spokesperson Jirayu Huangsap.

Jirayu said the Prime Minister had a full schedule of duties in Cambodia from Wednesday through Thursday. She departed Cambodia around 2:00 PM on Thursday and arrived in Thailand at approximately 3:30 PM.



Upon returning home, she began to feel unwell with a mild fever, which worsened into a high fever by the evening, he said. At around 9:00 PM, the Prime Minister sought medical attention, and doctors advised hospital admission for a thorough examination.

Doctors plan to conduct further tests on Friday morning, Jirayu added.
