Yingluck Shinawatra

politician Thailand

Yingluck Shinawatra is a Thai politician and businesswoman who served as the 28th Prime Minister of Thailand from 2011 until 2014. She is the younger sister of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra and was the first female prime minister in Thai history. Yingluck's tenure was marked by her efforts to implement populist policies, including rice subsidies and healthcare reforms. However, her government faced significant political challenges and protests, ultimately leading to her ousting by a military coup in 2014. Since then, she has lived in self-imposed exile to avoid corruption charges. Yingluck recently made headlines as her brother, Thaksin, returned to Thailand to engage with local leaders, signaling a desire for reconciliation and development in the southern border provinces.
