The Senate of Thailand (Thai: วุฒิสภา, RTGS: Wutthisapha, pronounced[wút.tʰí.sā.pʰāː]; formerly known as the Phruetthasapha, Thai: พฤฒสภา, RTGS: Phruetthasapha, pronounced[pʰrɯ́t.tʰá.sā.pʰāː]) is the upper house of the National Assembly of Thailand, Thailand's legislative branch. In accordance with the 2017 constitution of Thailand, the Senate is a non-partisan legislative chamber, composed of 250 members.[1] There are no elections for the Senate – all 250 Senators are appointed by the Royal Thai Military.[2] Senators serve five year terms in office.[3]
Both the Senate and the House of Representatives were abolished as a result of the 2014 Thai coup d'état. These were replaced with the unicameral National Legislative Assembly, a body of 250 members, selected by the National Council for Peace and Order. The 2017 constitution, which was approved by a referendum in 2016, provided for a 250-members Senate, which was not elected but rather appointed by a special committee, which was itself appointed by the military. As such, it has been often considered as a rubber stamp for decisions already taken by the higher-ups of the military junta.[4][5] As the indirect election is heavily influenced and intervened by the election commission, it is criticised by the public as a corrupted chamber with no mandate from people at all.
