Paetongtarn Shinawatra,
daughter of Thailand's former
Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra,
waves before a press conference
in Bangkok, Thailand.]
[Thailand's new prime minister renews
the legacy of her divisive father, Thaksin Shinawatra]
Paetongtarn, 37, a former executive
in a hotel business run by her family,
becomes the third close member
of the Shinawatra clan to take the
prime ministerīs job.
Thaksin's sister, Yingluck Shinawatra,
was Thailandīs first female
prime minister from 2011 to 2014.
An in-law, Somchai Wongsawat,
also served briefly in 2008.
Although Thaksin was a vastly popular
politician who handily won three elections,
Thailand's royalist establishment was
disturbed that his populist policies
appeared to threaten their status
and that of the monarchy at the heart
of Thai identity.
Months of protests helped drive both him
and Yingluck out of office and into exile.]
