Thailand’s legal system recently saw two significant appointments that could shape the judicial landscape in the years ahead.

1. Supreme Court’s New President
   Chotiwat Luengprasert has been appointed as the new president of the Supreme Court. A highly experienced legal professional, Chotiwat brings years of judicial expertise, having previously served as the president of the Labour Case Division of the Supreme Court. His journey through various prominent positions, including the Court of Appeal and the Central Labour Court, has prepared him to lead the country’s highest court for the next year. He will succeed Piyakul Boonperm, marking a key transition in the leadership of Thailand’s judiciary.

1. Thailand’s New Attorney General
   Alongside the changes in the judiciary, Thailand’s Office of the Attorney General also welcomed its new head, Thanit Sriprathet. His appointment was finalized following an endorsement by His Majesty the King, positioning him as the legal representative of the government in both criminal and civil matters. With his new role, Thanit will handle prosecutions and advise the government on legal matters, continuing the strong tradition of legal oversight in the country.

These appointments underscore the ongoing evolution of Thailand’s legal and judicial system, with both leaders set to influence key legal decisions in the coming years.
