If you have been following Thai news in the last few months, you would have noticed quite a lot going on related to the Thai Constitution. Most of it is highly controversial and very politically charged, so I’ll spare you the details. Proponents of amending the constitution argue that the current one is very non-democratic – and not just because it was written by a military coup government. Opponents to the change argue that the current constitution is democratic and any changes to it can only benefit Thaksin Shinawatra (a highly controversial ex-Prime Minister currently in exile).

Thais sometimes want to know a farangs opinion on the political situation, and so one day you may be asked about it. Or maybe you just like to talk politics. Either way, the below related vocabulary I’ve prepared for you can perhaps help you explain what’s on your mind.
