| ASIA FOUNDATION TO RELEASE SURVEY: THAI PUBLIC SPLIT OVER CHARTER AMENDMENT : asiafoundation | Bangkok, Thailand – Do Thai voters believe a charter amendment would lead to national reconciliation?
How much say should the public have over the amendment process? To ensure that opinions from Thai
citizens are represented during this time of political turmoil, The Asia Foundation will release the results
of its nationwide survey conducted in 26 provinces that gauge the national mood toward amending the
constitution, election reform, interest in politics, and more.
The Asia Foundation’s latest survey, Constitutional Reform and Democracy in Thailand: A National
Survey of the Thai Electorate, reveals Thai public opinions on issues relevant to the current debate on
constitutional reform. Conducted through face-to-face interviews with 1,500 respondents nationwide, the
timely survey allows lawmakers, politicians, academics and the media to assess the process of
democratization and measure Thai voters’ knowledge of and attitudes toward democracy and the nation’s
key institutions.
The survey results will also shed light on key trends and changing attitudes of Thai voters, providing
compelling insights into controversial issues such as Article 237 of the 2007 Constitution, electoral
reforms, as well as political amnesty and impunity.
Survey results will be unveiled at a press conference. The discussion will be conducted in
Thai and English. Cameras are welcome. The discussion will be on the record.
