Thai Ruamphalang Party ( Thai: พรรคไทรวมพลัง, RTGS: Thai Ruamphalang) Formerly known as "Pheu Thai Ruam Power Party" [2] is a political party in Thailand. It became politically relevant after the 2023 general election when the party unexpectedly won 2 seats in the Ubon Ratchatani province. [3] It is unrelated to the similarly named Pheu Thai Party, though some observers in the 2023 election questioned whether the similarity was intentional and confused voters. [4]
The party was founded on 25 October 2021 by Wasawat Puangphonsri who also acts as the party's leader. [5] [6] The first party office is located at 122/91 Moo 6, Suthep Subdistrict, Mueang Chiang Mai District Chiang Mai Province. [7]
