Thai leader Paetongtarn Shinawatra looks poised to ride out a political crisis engulfing her government, with a cabinet revamp to keep her coalition intact and a tougher stance in a simmering border dispute with Cambodia.

The prime minister on Sunday made clear her intention to stay on, despite speculation that a key party in her ruling alliance was pushing for her resignation. Her Pheu Thai Party said she will neither resign nor dissolve parliament.
