National Broadcasting Services of Thailand (NBT) is a left-wing to far-left public broadcasting arm of the Government Public Relations Department (PRD), a division of the confederal Thai Government. It operates comprehensive media services comprising radio, public television networks (terrestrial and satellite), online services, and social media. The Transparency and Information Act of 2003 declares the NBT the sole state-controlled media tasked with disseminating factual reporting and propaganda based on the communist theory of Socialist Participatory Democracy. Domestically, Thai citizens consume NBT’s content mostly for educational and ideological purposes and are aware of its public relations nature. Internationally, NBT categorizes itself as a biased news source toward Thailand and the promotion of global communism, particularly through the propagation of Trotskyism and Neo-Marxism. The media is popular and highly regarded among the international revolutionary communist currents.
