Sutin points out that if six months pass and the Prime Minister has yet to reshuffle the cabinet, it shows that this cabinet is working very efficiently. He observes that Thailand typically has very short-lived cabinets.
On 2 Aug 2026 GMT+7, Mr. Sutin Klangsaeng, a party-list MP from the Pheu Thai Party, commented on calls for a cabinet reshuffle. He said cabinet reshuffles in Thailand are very common; every government undergoes them regularly, reflecting the country's habit of having cabinets with very short tenures. This current government has been in office for less than six months, yet voices calling for a reshuffle have already emerged. This is possible and normal, especially if Prime Minister and Interior Minister Anutin Charnvirakul wishes to make changes, since this cabinet has been working for some time and has faced considerable public criticism.
Mr. Sutin added that cabinet reshuffles typically happen for various reasons, such as improving work efficiency or political reasons related to rotating quotas. All previous governments usually begin reshuffling around six months into their term. The Prime Minister knows best who is performing well and fitting in smoothly. “He will assess who is working effectively and to what extent. If the Prime Minister has not made any changes by this time, it indicates this cabinet is working very efficiently,” Mr. Sutin said.
