I'm just glad that this is chaired by an individual well-known for his integrity:
Somsak’s background is in the construction business. In the
2005 election, Thai Rak Thai won four seats in Sukhothai. All were under the sway of Somsak, who
had become the bigwig politician of Sukhothai. In Thailand’s latest 2023 general election, Somsak’s
faction, under the banner of PT, swept Sukhothai’s MP seats. Parties are not important in Sukhothai as
exemplified by Somsak’s constant party defections (he has switched parties five times across 13
elections). In 2024, his brother-in-law was re-elected PAO President. Source: Sanook.com, “History

the above is well worth a read if you are interested in Thailand's political families...
