What a great attitude. Best of luck Pita
This is a visionary leader which thailand didnt have before. Even w/o this unbecoming premiership, a young man with a heart for thailand and her people, he talented and resourceful. He will cont to rise above the rest, to shine and outperform many to bring thailand to a new amd modern era. All the best, Mr Pita!
What an amazing man......
Wish you the best of success and good health Pita Limjaroenrat.. Stay Safe and Stay Strong.. From your neighboring country. God Bless and Take Care..
We, Thai people are so proud of him. Even now he've got blocked by the lawfare and deep state old power but he is still 30th PM of Thai people. You can ask the poor to the rich, the elder to the kids, Men, women, student, labors, artist, singer, teacher, maid, we are all love him and wish one day he's back on track to our true Prime Minister of Thailand.
No use if the old guards and royalists keep getting away in parliament right? It is just like trying to clean up the image of Thailand but still letting prostitution and drugs run wild.
They'll always try to block him. Democracy has no place in Thailand. Just like Myanmar, communist China has the last say, good luck !
Eloquent, confident, pleasing to the eyes. He has already made a mammoth change in Thai politics. Becoming PM or not is another day to talk about
The best people always got blocked by some dishonest ones. We Myanmar know it and are now suffering it because of dishonest poeple. I really love this man Pita. He is so articulate and has always his country in his mind.
Finally, a leader that Thailand need!
He sounds so intellectual and well read. Articulates well and has a charming and youthful demeanour despite being 42 years old. Would be a refreshing change to the political arena and have an impact on socio-economic landscape in the Southeast Asian region.
Pita had issued about Domestic violence with his ex-wife at the court. His ex-wife mentioned that he got angry if she complimented IRON man that handsome. Moreover, pita is a stalker by installing GPS under her car. He is not graceful for Thailand . He is the ceo which it go bankrupt and his company has almost billions of debt.
He looks really young. I was surprised to hear that he is above 40 years old
@@yuverburg9204 You are not surprised about his horrible and cruel behaviors. But you surprised about his ages. You are blind and narrow mind for his ex-wife
@@user-vx6yj5iw4z Riddle me this, the constitution that's full control by Juntra doesn't even accept her cases to be consider.
Why would his opponent let such an opportunity to attack Pita vanish away if the accusation is real?
@@kiattim2100 He shut her mouth off with money. In Thailand, Money can buy everything even your life. 😆
Pita = Hope
As an American who has traveled and worked in Thailand Please help make Thailand a wealthy country! Her good people deserve it!
As a Thai citizen, we are so proud of him and he will always our prime minister in our heart.
He already made change. He have set the new standard of how political parties should do their work. He is the example of how Thai leader should be. And most important, he inspires us and makes us believe that Thailand can be better than this. He is our hopes. We have come half way.
I could careless who is currently title as 30th PM. For me the one and only is Mr. Pita, the rightful Prime Minister.
Nah......
Delusion!
@@amyma1076 My rights.
He didn't win the majority of the votes, these are the facts. And well the Thai people are complicit in this.
Many in the region also like his image as the PM but really your country needs to tell those old horrible people in parliament to get lost.
He’s the one and only our Prime Minister #พิธา 🇹🇭
Love & Respect Pita and Move forward Party ⏩
Respect you 🧡 PM’s Pita and Move forward Party
Thumbs up 👍 Pita
This is the leader Thailand need.👍☯️🤠
❤ Pita is great man for Thailand.
My Prime Minister of Thailand is Pita.❤️👍✌️🫡🫡🫡
Take him with you to private island somewhere.
It is not your business.
This proves that politics are no longer clean it is all about power and money
It's never been clean. Since when it's clean
We, my Thai wife and myself, look forward to the time you are the leader of a democratic Thailand.
Observing from Taiwan here. I like Pita. If I can vote in Thailand I will vote for him. ❤
Super leader ❤❤❤ pround of u ka Khun Tim
Very great speech.. brother.
Ok bro I like you very much.i am you when you're paty won the election.
I am very upsetting Pita not became PM in Thailand.I hope he will be success next election.
My PRIME MINISTER OF THAILAND🇹🇭🫡
Not ours.
@@amyma1076 you agree or disagree, MOVE FORWARD PARTY has won the biggest seats, and they should be the government..not the opposition
This man will win a Nobel prize one day and be regarded as the father of Thailand's democracy. They may be able to stop to him from being the prime minister but the young and smart people inspired by him will transform Thailand into a democracy and not the unfair/undemocratic system they have right now.
You should be the Prime minister of Thailand Mr Pita..
Best of luck Pita
He's my Prime minister. Only Pita!
He is my PM!
WANTS THE BEST FOR THAILAND THANK YOU BRO PITA GOD BLESS SLOW AND STEADY
He seems more like the rightful King of Thailand than the current. Mr. Pita possess such regality, fluidity, eloquence, grace, understanding, conviction and love of nation. He is truly blessed. His time to lead will come when it is ripe. 🙏😇❤️👍💐🤞😊👌
ขอบคุณค่ะ
The military is very strong in Thailand and has a free hand to do what it wants. Only the King can help Thailand make any dramatic change in its political arena. If the Thai King diminish the military power & influence in the parliament and he himself calls for amendments to the Thai constitution nothing will change.
Move Forward is still the rightful winner to decide on who should be Thai PM despite dirty tricks are deployed by military and conservative minority, the momentum for political change in Thailand will continue under Mr Pita Limjaroenrat in a foreseeable future.😮💨😮💨
Good luck I believe in you
He is my Priminister.
I love this guy.
The winner is you. #MyPM🇹🇭
What won him over with the voters was his stance against the military and royalist, but its also the same reason he failed to become prime minister.
He should have kept his cards close to his chest and not reveal his true intentions.
Politics are always dirty, you may even need to get in bed with your enemies and play the long game to reach your ultimate goal.
I like this guy!
Agent of change. Wish him good luck n success in the years to come.
He still young.
PL : let go and never give up (SB). Sadhu x 3 🙏🙏🙏
This goes against the will of Thai people. It's a setback.
- There's no doubt Pita will be back because this is Thailand 🇹🇭, not China.
and thaksin is back who is chinese by the way
But over the years, Thailand has let in too many PRC crooks into Thailand who are trying to make Thailand the next Sihanouk ville and the China gangsters can become the new royalty.
Pita, I support you and ‘add oil’ from land of Merlion
My PM 🧡
You comfortable mind,sir.And You comfortable,sir
i have the same dreams as him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The future of Thailand is safer in his hands I think.
You cannot have democracy, when the people's choice is denied.
He is my pm. ❤khun tim . I feel sad the the pm that I choose is not to be the prime minister. But we dont give up .We wil fighting for democracy
Yes,sir
The best❤
My PM only 🧡
He will make it - and sort out the mess - Thailand can be Great Again
He’s my PM.
Why is he not the minister?
Yes
PITA SHOULD BE THE PM OF THAILAND
Hope
Khun Pita is my PM
While Pita Limjaroenrat has good intentions for Thailand, a thing to watch for is how the Move Forward Party relates to certain crucial institutions. Reforming such institutions requires consulting most if not all sectors across the country. Making drastic decisions without making appropriate consultations leaves everyone disoriented.
In Thailand's democratic framework, with the monarch as the head of state, the prevalence of military coups is a distinctive aspect, earning the country the unfortunate distinction of having the most military coups in the world. With 57 out of the 85 years between 1932 and 2517 being governed by military or former military prime ministers, Thailand's political landscape has witnessed significant upheavals. It's crucial to emphasize that the recent Constitutional Court, established in 2017 during the military government, is set against a backdrop of political turbulence.
Mr. Pita and the Move Forward Party have expressed a deep conviction that amending the lese majesty law is crucial. They argue that without such amendments, the law could be abused, potentially becoming a pretext for further military coups. This concern underscores their commitment to democratic principles and the protection of civil liberties.
Despite Mr. Pita winning the 2023 election, challenges emerged as out of 250 senators appointed by the pro-military government with the right to vote for the prime minister, 237 voted against Mr. Pita holding the position. Furthermore, these senators pledged not to support any candidate as prime minister if their party forms a coalition with the Move Forward Party, fearing potential amendments to the lese majesty law.
Mr. Pita and the Move Forward Party assert the critical need to amend the lese majesty law to prevent its abusive use, even as the Bhumjaithai Party suggested that Mr. Pita could gain their support by abandoning this initiative. However, such a choice would carry risks, as there was no guarantee that the Bhumjaithai Party would honor their commitment. If they reneged on their word, Mr. Pita would not only lose the opportunity to assume power but also risk credibility with those who supported him and the Move Forward Party for their commitment to amending the law.
Importantly, the Move Forward Party maintained its integrity by honoring promises made to the people, standing firm on its commitment to never back down on any pledges made during the election. This steadfastness underscores their dedication to the principles they advocated for during the electoral process.
Specifically, the period from 1995 to 2017, predating the current court's formation, witnessed the dissolution of 110 political parties, raising concerns among democracy advocates. In the contemporary scenario, over 200 individuals face imprisonment for violating lese majesty laws, with sentences ranging from 3 to 50 years-exceeding the standard 3 to 15 years and even surpassing the 20-year maximum for first-degree murder. This law has been utilized by politicians to suppress opposition and dissolve rival parties, even sparking accusations between neighbors rooted in personal animosities.
In the context of this complex political landscape, Mr. Pita's case gains prominence, as the court ruled his attempt to amend the royal defamation law as treasonous. This ruling has ignited concerns about the potential dissolution of the Move Forward Party, closely tied to the actions of the Constitutional Court formed during the military government in 2017.

Truly amazing politician Pita. Thailand lost a great leadership of a PM
The light in the darkness
I am Filipino and I just heard about this guy. Coming from the so-called 'beacon of democracy' in Asia, I believe in his vision of a democratic Thailand. Our country's democracy has become rotten and unrepairable - I hope Thailand could develop it properly with this guy in charge.
Democratic Wave has already been striking on Thailand along with Burma. We cannot deny it. We Burmese people are now ultimately battling for Federalism and Democracy. We will never give up until we reach the final goal, fully hoping that neither do Thai people. No space for dictators here and there, and anywhere on earth.
#WhatsHappeningInBurma
😢😢😢 chances GIVEN too bad too UNFAIR ..Thai ppl MUST be fair changing the FUTURE HISTORY
love father tim
You're good, just you show your last card to your enemy too fast
Keep the last card to yourself before the war start
Pita looks like a young HH Bhumibol Adulyadej. A missed opportunity for Thailand. Pita would've made a great PM and been the envy of other SE Asian nations 🙏
I am from the Philippines and I wouldve envied a leader with an actual vision for a better democracy. His Majesty is King but he is not a god. Let the people express their opinion and maybe the military wouldnt be doing coups every other day!
_Please, not over yet. Just the beginning? Please.
It is not over and it is beginning of new ERA. Walk together ka 🧡🧡🧡🧡
Along the way, he will realise that he got to compromise
@@timloo6191 My best guess, he and his party already comprised.
his party already unravlled
He has george Soros written all over, not only talks in english but also uses all the acronyms like: "PROGRESSIVE". The party name sounds like something out of the marketing department because he does not say anything. Move forward? to where?🤐
We need someone like PITA to promote true democracy and transprancy in Singapore! Can we have a "PITA version" here in sg?
He is our prime minister
and he will be very soon
Thailand prime minister
though the kingdom knows that time is changing, by the means on bringing in the ex pm. the pressure is on all side to produce some economic as a substitute to political reform. the blocked party could have bigger agenda while jail time is limiting popular reach.
They will block him whatsoever. Please pray for Thailand. We NEED a great leader, not a bunch of rats!
Perhaps another 20 years. If he is lucky enough
Why is NED putting so much money 💰💰 in Thailand? This is just for 2021.
Solidarity Center (SC)-Labor Program 2021 - $799,083
Inclusive Democracy and Citizen Engagement - $250,000
Promoting Local Government Responsiveness to Citizen Demands - $600,000
(not including those hidden amounts)
Who is the next Vice PM in Thailand ?
✅👍❤🙏
Why he didn't go to Klong Toey the biggest slum in Thailand
About the news,the society changes root of the souls,it is true,sir.
Pratt love true,sir.Ka
Welcome to politics … it’s never fair
🖤🌜
Pratt live with the problems,forever forever,sir.Yes,in Thai is ปรารถนา รัตนวงค์ my name,sir
The new PM has just met Putin & granted a 90 day visa/exemp visa. I feel this would not have happened under Limjaroenrat's leadership. He reminds me of Tony Blair, back in '97, who's only mistake was the invasion of Iraq.

Srsly, even Singapore can't understand that Thailand elect a representative, of which promised to vote for PM candidate?
If you insist that this is not democracy, please do the same for US election too.
Pratt love true,You okay,sir.If hate me, come to my home,no good,sir
Come,ka
The US backed politician for Prime Minister FTW!
Undisputed is flawed on its own..no one is 100% right
The day Pita was bullied kick out from parlaiment with stupid accusation.
The first voted by higher congressman blocked Pita by the dark power ordered their congressmen not to vote to Pita.
But when come to the current PM , he had the deal with the dark power to keep their power when the current PM got accept.
The dark power had agreement with Current PM to kick Pita 'party out and become the opposiion party.
We still support Pita, and pita did not want to use violation. Pita used the Parliament fight for people 'right, not the violation on street.
@@thatcharpichitchar8024agreed. Violation in the past driven by greedy people. Pita, on the other hand, cares for people rather than using people to fight for him. Imagine what if Pita try to create chaos which he didn’t do it. Respect.
Might be pm when the new emperor arrives!
You think, Prattana Rattanawong,Yok IU is be crazy and hell,sir
