REVIVE THE THAI ECONOMY with transparency and accountability

In the midst of the global economic crisis, the government has made every effort to tackle the economic downturn and lead the country on the road to recovery. The first stimulus package aims to steer Thai economy out of the crisis; while the second one represents a strategic investment in our country’s future.

No less important than the policy itself is how the first stimulus package gets implemented; that is where you, Thai citizen, can take part.

It is now a time for change, the critical time where citizen participation will play a crucial role to help our country.

Chuaichart Website provides you with the opportunity to scrutinize government policy implementation, to make sure that every single Baht paid in tax is being used for the benefit of our country.

We welcome you to visit us often to follow-up on our progress; and together we will walk the road to recovery and pave the way to long-term growth and prosperity for Thailand.

Prime Minister
