BANGKOK -- Nearly four years since Thailand's military seized power in a 2014 coup, the scion of the founding family of an Thai autoparts empire is building a new political movement to challenge the governing junta.
Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit, the 39-year-old billionaire executive vice president of Thai Summit Group, has set up a new party to oppose the regime led by Prayut Chan-ocha, a former general now serving as prime minister.
