BANGKOK -- Two high-profile resignations have sent Thailand's ruling coalition under Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha into damage control mode as opposition parties seek a no-confidence vote.

Prayuth aide Seksakol Atthawong became the latest to fall from grace when he stepped down Monday from his post as vice minister of the prime minister's office.
