Ignoring the more than 52 million Thai registered voters in 2023. 

On the other hand the Chinese Communist Politburo is much more efficient as a group of 24 top officials who oversee the party and central government. Power within the CCP Politburo is further centralized in the Politburo Standing Committee, a group of 7 individuals from among the larger Politburo. 

Shouldn't be a problem for Thailand to scale down further.
