Thailand's Bhumjaithai talking to parties in bid to form government

Thailand's Bhumjaithai party said on Friday it was talking with other parties towards forming a government and has agreed with demands made by the main
opposition People's Party, the largest party in parliament, in return for its support.

In a statement, Bhumjaithai said its priorities if it forms a government would be taking steps to amend the constitution, resolve a border dispute with Cambodia, and dissolve parliament within four months. 

The party has been holding a succession of meetings following the dismissal of Paetongtarn Shinawatra as prime minister earlier on Friday by the Constitutional Court.
