THAILAND’S CONSTITUTION DAY (10/12/2011)

December 10 each year marks Thailand’s Constitution Day, when various activities, such as exhibitions, seminars, and discussions, are held to promote better understanding about the democratic system and to develop political culture in Thai society.

The history of Thailand’s constitutions began in 1932 when King Prajadhipok, Rama VII, granted the first permanent constitution to the Thai people on December 10. The constitution was meant to be the ultimate law, following the change of the country’s absolute monarchy to a constitutional monarchy.
