Privy Council
The Privy Council of Thailand (Thai: คณะองคมนตรีไทย, romanized: khana ongkhamontri thai) is a body of appointed advisors to the Monarchy of Thailand. The council, as the Constitution of Thailand stipulates, must be composed of no more than eighteen members. The council is led by the President of the Privy Council of Thailand, currently occupied by former Prime Minister Surayud Chulanont since 27 May 2019. The king alone appoints all members of the council. The council's offices are in the Privy Council Chambers, Phra Nakhon District, Bangkok.[1]
In recent years, the council and its president in particular, have been accused of interfering in politics. This stems from the council's closeness to the military, in particular during the 2006 Thai coup d'état.[2] General Prem was reappointed president of the privy council by the King Maha Vajiralongkorn on 2 December 2016,[3] although in 2018 the office was stripped of some of its powers.[4]
