Noppadon Pattama, the Thailand government’s foreign minister, resigned after being accused of jeopardizing land claims near the ancient Preah Vihear Cambodian Hindu temple on the Thai border according to AP.
The Thai government’s Thai Constitutional Court ruled that the foreign minister acted unconstitutionally by endorsing Cambodia’s UNESCO application to have the temple deemed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The move comes as the Thai government’s Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej faces possible impeachment charges, the trial of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, and various other charges and outings of current administration officials.

New elections or a coup are eminent at this point.
