Prominent political family unhappy with Pheu Thai and ready to team up with Palang PracharathChalerm Ubumrung and his son Wan Ubumrung take part in a campaign rally for the Pheu Thai Party in Bangkok in April last year. Mr Chalerm, 77, has also expressed a wish to switch parties. Palang Pracharath is also a member of the current coalition. Gen Prawit, who also chairs the foundation, asked Mr Chalerm to move to the PPRP, to which the latter agreed. But the move is not possible as long as he remains a Pheu Thai list-MP, said a source familiar with the talks.
