Bhumjaithai Party plans to merge the Ministry of Tourism with the Ministry of Culture and separate the Ministry of Sports. They are preparing to issue a decree allowing people who use less than 200 electricity units to pay 3 baht per unit, expecting to see results within three months. Meanwhile, constitutional amendments are not being urgently pursued.
On 9 March 2026, sources from Bhumjaithai Party reported on their legislative agenda, emphasizing efforts to expedite the passage of laws. The party aims to focus on legislative work that supports the executive branch to implement government policies and quickly address various problems affecting the public.
Among the first laws Bhumjaithai Party plans to push is an amendment transferring the Ministry of Tourism to be merged with the Ministry of Culture, as their responsibilities align. The Ministry of Sports will be separated to focus exclusively on sports development, aiming to promote excellence. The party expects to propose these legal changes to parliament within six months.
A source from Bhumjaithai Party also said the party will promote the draft "Super License" Act to facilitate licensing and services for the public. The principle is to enable one-stop service for all permits, such as for factory construction, hotels, and spas, eliminating the need to apply to multiple agencies and instead completing approval in a single agency. This aims to ease procedures for domestic and foreign entrepreneurs to attract more investment into Thailand. The proposal was put forward by Mr. Akniti Nitithanprapas and Ms. Suphajee Suthamphan, with completion expected within six months.
Another law under preparation is the draft "Hometown Act," expected to be completed within one year. It focuses on two main points: first, enabling local governments to generate their own income for development, allowing citizens to allocate 30% of their taxes to support their hometowns or other localities they wish to develop; second, establishing a strong public oversight mechanism that would be more robust than the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) and the Office of the Public Sector Anti-Corruption Commission (PACC), preventing misuse of local funds. Additionally, it will address unlocking age and term limits for local officials beyond the current two-term limit.
Regarding constitutional amendments, the party may not push them urgently as they are not considered immediate issues affecting the public.
A source from Bhumjaithai Party added that on the executive side, the government will expedite various policies within 3-6 months, such as setting electricity costs at 3 baht per unit for the first 200 units used. Consumption beyond 200 units will be charged progressively. This can be enacted immediately through a Ministry of Energy announcement.
Furthermore, the next government goal is to foster free competition in the electricity sector, similar to other countries where multiple competitors offer consumers choices. The aim is to have companies that provide the greatest benefits, similar to the model seen in the mobile phone industry.
