With Thailand’s House of Representatives dissolved and the next general election scheduled for 14 May 2023, Thai political parties are competing to outdo each other with populist policy pledges.

 

In a bid to bring about the first transition of power in nearly a decade, Pheu Thai has vowed to double daily minimum wages to 600 baht (about US$17.50) by 2027.

 

In response, Palang Pracharath (PPRP) has pledged to raise the state welfare card scheme monthly allowance from 600 to 700 baht.

Summary:  The next government will be determined by sleazy backroom deal making, just as the constitution intended.  It's not a bug, it's a feature.

 

Thailand will not be real democracy, or even a half-assed democracy, until it gets a new constitution.  One not written by the military.
