On March 29, AMCHAM members gathered at The St. Regis Bangkok to hear from Prof. Dr. Thitinan Pongsudhirak and Dr. Supavud Saicheua on what US businesses should expect after the elections in May.

Dr. Thitinan who is the professor of international relations at Chulalongkorn University, provided background on past Thai elections, helping members understand the implications of the upcoming election. He also provided insights on Thailand’s political landscape after the election, as well as the country’s foreign policy and international relations. 

Dr. Supavud, an advisor to Kiatnakin Phatra Financial Group, led attendees through the economic outlook and explained what US businesses can expect from the government’s economic policy and focus after the elections.   

Following their presentations, the speakers joined a panel discussion, moderated by Shawn Crispin, Southeast Asia Editor of Asia Times where they answered attendees’ questions.   

Additionally, the event served as AMCHAM’s Annual General Meeting, where members approved the 2022 financial statements and auditors for 2023.
