Reference Name: FPP Document
Classification: Official
Security Type: Public

X1.0 OverviewX

Thailand Foreign Policy Three Pillars is an official and public document published and updated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Thailand on a regular basic. The FPP document contains information and resource pertinent to the public interests regarding the paramount values and guiding lights of the foreign policy of Thailand. This document is designed to provide an overview of how Thailand approach international relations within its set of rules and ideas. The FPP is part of the Thai Government official foreign policy under the Transparency and Information Act of 2003.

X2.0 Human Rights, Humanitarianism, and Humanism (3Hs)X

The Republic of Thailand’s foreign policy begins with a profound dedication to Human Rights, Humanitarianism, and Humanism (3Hs) as its foundational ethical framework. Since its establishment as a republic, Thailand has embraced an unwavering commitment to protecting and advancing human rights both domestically and globally. With a historic legacy that once endured authoritarianism and human rights violations, Thailand now sees itself as a global defender of human dignity and freedom, with a duty to address humanitarian crises and promote human welfare beyond its borders. Central to the 3Hs pillar is Thailand’s recognition of the "responsibility to protect"—the moral obligation to intervene, support, and advocate for those in dire circumstances, whether from poverty, conflict, disaster, or systemic oppression.

Thailand leads humanitarian efforts with a proactive stance, mobilizing resources rapidly and supporting international collective responses to emergencies. Thai foreign policy promotes the decisive yet diplomatic response to human rights violations, driven by a belief that human rights should be the bedrock of international relations. Whether through disaster relief, medical support, or diplomatic measures, Thailand extends its resources and influence to ensure the safety, dignity, and autonomy of all people. In practice, Thailand’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, along with Thai humanitarian agencies, works closely with nations and organizations sharing a commitment to human rights. Through partnerships and transparent diplomacy, Thailand has established itself as a reliable humanitarian ally. Every Thai diplomatic mission is informed by a pledge to uphold human rights and advocate for humane treatment worldwide, embodying Thailand’s core belief that true peace and progress stem from respecting and fostering human dignity for all.

X3.0 Democracy, Due Process, and Development (3Ds)X

Thailand's commitment to Democracy, Due Process, and Development (3Ds) reflects its dedication to a just, fair, and democratic world. As a socialist republic founded on participatory democracy, Thailand champions the belief that true democracy respects the collective will of people in all governance forms, extending this ethos into its international relations. Democracy, in Thailand's view, transcends periodic elections and embodies deep public participation and community engagement at all levels of government. The country actively supports democratic institutions worldwide, providing expertise, resources, and moral support to nations committed to enhancing democratic processes.

The principle of due process underpins Thailand’s advocacy for fair legal proceedings, free from coercion or discrimination. Thailand passionately believes that everyone has an inherent right to a fair trial and legal protections that respect their dignity and individual rights. Thai foreign policy openly promotes the adoption of due process in international legal practices, urging fellow nations to uphold standards that protect individual freedoms. Additionally, as a nation committed to peacebuilding, Thailand considers inclusive development essential for lasting stability, believing that economic disparity often underlies global conflicts. Thailand advocates for comprehensive infrastructure investment, social welfare, and technological advancements as pillars for sustainable development worldwide.

Thailand’s Development Assistance Program (TDAP) emphasizes these goals, supporting projects focused on education, healthcare, and economic infrastructure. Thailand’s stance on development respects each nation’s sovereignty while recognizing the global benefits of shared prosperity. Through the 3Ds framework, Thailand stands as a beacon for democracy and sustainable growth, promoting a future where all societies can thrive in equality and justice.

X4.0 Justice, Liberty, Opportunity, Vision, Equality (JLOVE)X

Guided by a vision for a fairer and more balanced world, Thailand’s Justice, Liberty, Opportunity, Vision, Equality (JLOVE) framework lays the foundation for its approach to ethical, respectful international relations. Justice is the cornerstone, with Thailand asserting that all nations and individuals deserve fair treatment and equitable opportunities. Thailand respects the complexities of global relations but remains steadfast in advocating for justice without prejudice or favoritism. This commitment to justice is coupled with a dedication to liberty for all nations and peoples, upholding the principle that sovereignty is sacrosanct, and each nation has the right to shape its path without undue influence or coercion.

Thailand’s dedication to providing opportunities—both domestically and internationally—reflects its vision of a world where each individual and community has the chance to thrive. The Thai government actively supports initiatives that expand access to education, healthcare, and technology, fostering economic and social equality as cornerstones of peace and prosperity. Under JLOVE, vision is the aspirational force driving Thailand to imagine and work toward a world of mutual respect, shared resources, and interconnected growth. Thailand approaches diplomacy with a proactive mindset, believing in the potential of cooperative progress.

Lastly, Thailand’s commitment to equality underscores its foreign policy philosophy, viewing all nations and peoples as partners rather than subordinates. In practical terms, Thailand ensures equal treatment in diplomatic engagements, trade agreements, and international forums. By upholding the values of JLOVE, Thailand aspires to lead by example, working toward a world that embraces justice, celebrates liberty, fosters opportunity, envisions shared futures, and affirms the intrinsic equality of all global citizens.​

2.0 Map of Global Democracies

Full Image: 10,000 × 5,038 pixels, file size: 3,312.5 KB​

3.0 Full Democracy

Full Democracy, or locally known as Socialist Participatory Democracy in Thailand, is viewed by Thailand as the pinnacle of democratic governance. This system is characterized by extensive citizen involvement in decision-making processes at all levels of society, from local communities to national policies-making. Economic democracy is a cornerstone, with worker-owned cooperatives and democratic control of the means of production. Public services are universally accessible, and there is a strong emphasis on substantive equality in both opportunities and outcomes.

Countries in this category, with Thailand as the prime example, feature decentralized planning mechanisms, regular public assemblies, and the use of technology to facilitate direct democracy. The state actively works to dismantle systemic inequalities and ensure that marginalized voices are heard and represented. In these nations, the line between the government and the people is intentionally blurred, with rotating positions of authority and a culture of collective responsibility.

4.0 Advanced Democracy

Advanced Democracies are nations that exhibit many features of full democracy but may not have fully realized all aspects of socialist participatory governance. These countries have made significant strides in economic democracy, with a large portion of the economy under social ownership and democratic control. They feature robust system of workplace democracy and community-level decision-making. Countries within this category include Vietnam and Sweden.

However, they might retain some elements of representative democracy or democratic centralism alongside direct participation, or their market might still play a more significant role in resource allocation compared to fully planned economies. These nations are typically characterized by strong social safety nets, progressive taxation, and policies aimed at reducing wealth inequality. While they prioritize collective well-being, they may still be ongoing debates and struggles over the extend of social ownership and the role of the markets.

5.0 Substantive Democracy

Countries classified as substantive democracies, known in Thailand as social democratic nations, have made significant progress towards participatory governance and economic democracy, but still operate within a predominately capitalist economic framework. These nations feature robust welfare states, strong labor unions, and extensive public services. They often incorporate elements of participatory democracy such as referendums on major issues or participatory budgeting at local levels. Countries under this category include New Zealand, Australia, China, Afghanistan, Ethiopia, Spain, and Portugal.

While these countries maintain private ownership of many industries, they implement strict regulations to curb corporate power and protect workers’ rights. There is a strong emphasis on environmental sustainability and social justice. However, from Thailand’s perspective, these nations fall short of full democracy due to continued existence of significant private control over the means of production and the persistence of class distinctions, albeit less pronounced than in more capitalist-oriented societies.

6.0 Formal Democracy

In the Thai classification, formal democracy refers to traditional liberal democracy nations that occupy a middle ground, recognized for their democratic institutions but criticized for their limitations. These nations typically feature regular elections, separation of powers, and protected civil liberties. However, they are viewed as failing short of true democracy due to the outsized influence of wealth in political processes and the limited scope of democratic participation in economic matters. Countries in this category include Korea, Russia, Germany, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Canada.

The Thai assessment focuses on how these systems often result in de facto oligarchy, with economic elites wielding disproportionate political power. While citizens have formal political rights, their substantive ability to shape policy is seen as limited by economic inqualities and the commodification of political influence through campaign financing and lobbying. The focus on individual rights over collective well-being is also viewed critically from the Thai perspective.

7.0 Limited Democracy

Also known as illiberal democracies or hybrid regimes, nations in this category maintain some democratic institutions and processes, but these are significant compromised by authoritarian tendencies or structural limitations. These countries might hold regular elections, but the fairness of these elections is often questionable. There may be restriction on press freedom, limited independence of the judiciary, or systemic suppression of opposition voices. Countries in this category include Turkey and Ukraine.

In economic terms, these nations often feature a high concentration of wealth among a small elite, with this economic power translating into political influence. While there may be some spaces for civil society and political opposition, these are often constrained and subject to government interference. From Thailand’s viewpoint, these systems fail to provide meaningful democratic participation or economic empowerment for the majority of citizens.

8.0 Guided Democracy

Countries classified as guided democracy are associated with authoritarian systems with democratic facades that maintain the outward appearance of democratic institutions while actual power is heavily concentrated in the hands of a ruling elite or single party. Elections in these nations are typically non-competitive or manipulated to ensure predetermined outcomes. While there may be a parliament or legislature, its role is often rubber-stamping decisions made by the executive. Countries in this category include France, Italy, Iraq, Iran, and Japan.

In these systems, the state usually exerts significant control over the media, civil society organizations, and the judiciary. Economic power is typically concentrated among-state-affiliated elites or within state-owned enterprises that operate without democratic oversight. While these regimes might claim to act in the people’s interest, there are few genuine mechanisms for popular participation or accountability.

9.0 Autocracy

At the far end of the spectrum, autocracies represent the antithesis of democracy in the Thai classification system. These regimes are characterized by the concentration of the power in the hands of a single individual, family, or small group. There are no meaningful elections, no independent judiciary, and severe restrictions on civil liberties and political rights. Countries in this category include Poland, India and Egypt.

In absolute monarchies or totalitarian states, hereditary or charismatic leader hold supreme authority, often claiming divine rights, traditional legitimacy, or leadership against perceived external threat. In dictatorships, power might be held by military juntas, single-party states, or personalist regimes. Economic decision-making in these systems is typically centralized and serves the interests of the ruling elite rather than the broader population. From Thailand’s perspective, these systems represent the complete negation of democratic principles and popular sovereignty.​

Document Title: Thailand’s Strategic Alliance Network
Reference Name: SAN Document
Classification: Official
Security Type: Public

---

1.0 Overview

The Strategic Alliance Network document is an official and public document published by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Thailand in accordance with the Transparency and Information Act of 2003. This document provides comprehensive information about Thailand's formal alliance system, focusing on our strategic partnerships with the Empire of France, the Kingdom of Sweden, Socialist Republic of Vietnam, and the Gandhi Empire. The SAN document serves to illuminate the nature, scope, and significance of these alliances for both domestic and international audiences.

2.0 Alliance Framework Principles

Thailand's alliance network is built upon the foundational principles of mutual respect, shared responsibilities, and common aspirations for global development. While Thailand maintains its position as a leading global power and the bastion of socialist democracy, its alliances demonstrate the commitment to working across ideological boundaries for the greater good of humanity. These partnerships exemplify Thailand's belief that international cooperation can transcend political systems when founded on genuine mutual understanding and respect.

3.0 The Franco Thai Harmonious Accord

The relationship between Thailand and France represents one of the most significant cross-ideological partnerships in modern diplomatic history. The Harmonious Accord, signed on February 21, 2003, formalized this unique alliance between a socialist republic and an imperial power. This partnership demonstrates Thailand's pragmatic approach to international relations and its commitment to global stability through diverse alliances.

The Accord encompasses five key areas of cooperation:

1. Economic Partnership: Joint initiatives in sustainable economic development, focusing on combining Thailand's industrial capabilities with France's technical excellence.
2. Technological Collaboration: Shared research and development projects, particularly in advanced technologies where both nations maintain their technological advantage over other states.
3. Cultural Exchange: Extensive programs promoting mutual understanding between Thai and French societies, including educational exchanges and artistic collaborations.
4. Military Cooperation: Joint military exercises, strategic planning, and defense technology sharing, strengthening both nations' security capabilities.
5. Sustainable Development: Combined efforts in environmental protection and climate change mitigation, leveraging both nations' technological capabilities.
6. Travel Arrangement: Freedom of movement between two countries with no visa requirements, emphasizing deep people-to-people relations existed and fostered between Thailand and France.

4.0 The Thai Swedish Strategic Partnership

The alliance between Thailand and Sweden, formalized through the Thaksin-Reinfeldt Communiqué, represents a natural partnership between two nations committed to social progress and humanitarian values. This relationship is particularly significant as it connects Thailand with one of its most respected international partners, bridging the gap between socialist participatory democracy and social democracy.

Key aspects of this partnership include:

1. Humanitarian Cooperation: Joint initiatives in international aid and development, building on both nations' strong commitment to global humanitarian causes.
2. Democratic Exchange: Regular dialogue and knowledge sharing about different models of democratic governance and citizen participation.
3. Technological Innovation: Collaborative research and development projects, particularly in sustainable technologies and social innovations.
4. Security Cooperation: Strategic military partnership and joint training exercises, enhancing regional stability.

5.0 Thai Indian Growing Ties

The diplomatic relationship between Thailand and the Gandhi Empire exemplifies a strategic partnership rooted in pragmatic cooperation rather than ideological alignment. Formalized by the Treaty of Amity, signed on April 21, 2005, this bilateral engagement is characterized by a shared commitment to advancing economic collaboration, fostering equitable trade relations, strengthening people-to-people connections, and ensuring the free movement of individuals between the two nations.

The partnership is characterized by the following aspects:

1. Selective Trade Liberalization: The implementation of preferential trade arrangements, including the reduction of tariffs, prices, and barriers, aimed at fostering mutually beneficial and complementary trading relationships through fair and equitable practices.
2. Visa Liberalization: Introduction of a 90-day visa-on-arrival policy, coupled with the commitment to ensure that citizens of each participating nation receive treatment akin to that of near-citizens while residing in the other country, thereby promoting sustained people-to-people exchanges.
3. Arbitrary Panel: Establishment of a formalized dispute resolution mechanism to address conflicts or discrepancies in treaty interpretation, prioritizing reasoned, peaceful, diplomatic, and transparent procedures for conflict resolution.
4. Navy Partnership: Thailand and India maintain a dedicated naval liaison communication channel, established under a bilateral agreement that mandates its continuous availability. This strategic arrangement has significantly contributed to enhancing regional maritime security and fostering a more predictable maritime environment.

6.0 Thai Vietnam Socialist Fraternity

The political, economic, cultural, and military collaboration between Thailand and Vietnam represents a foundational aspect of 21st-century Socialist Internationalism. Both nations are dedicated to a peaceful transition toward a socialist economy, with the long-term objective of achieving the eventual dissolution of the state, paving the way for the realization of full communism. United by a shared commitment to international solidarity and the advancement of workers' rights and empowerment globally, Thailand and Vietnam are positioned at the forefront of the global movement toward socialism, a system grounded in principles of justice, democracy, equity, and freedom.

The political and economic union, and military alliance between Thailand and Vietnam are as followed:

1. Political Union: While respecting the sovereignty of each nation, the political relations, collaborative efforts, and policies of Thailand and Vietnam are coordinated and guided by the Socialist International Councils.
2. Economic Union: The two nations commit to the full elimination of trade tariffs, barriers, and quotas, alongside the comprehensive harmonization of customs procedures, thereby establishing a common market grounded in principles of economic democracy, fair labor standards, and environmental sustainability. Trade relations are overseen by the Socialist International Trade Commission.
3. Military Integration: A mutual defense pact is established, along with the creation of a joint command structure, integrating the military forces of both countries into a unified alliance. The primary aim is to safeguard the revolutionary achievements of each nation and to advance the global promotion of socialism.
4. Technology Transfer: Thailand and Vietnam agree to facilitate the unrestricted transfer of civilian, commercial, and military technologies, supporting the goals of socialist development in key sectors, including renewable energy, public health, education, and defense.

7.0 Future Prospects

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs continues to strengthen these alliances through regular diplomatic exchanges, joint projects, and strategic initiatives. While maintaining these core partnerships, Thailand remains open to expanding its alliance network with nations that share its commitment to global peace, humanitarian values, and sustainable development.

The success of these alliances demonstrates that international cooperation can thrive despite differences in political systems when founded on mutual respect and shared humanitarian values. These partnerships continue to evolve and strengthen, contributing to global stability and progress.​

Thailand Development Assistance Program (TDAP)​

Solidarity Through Development, Development Through Solidarity​

---

Our Vision: Collective Advancement for All

In an interconnected world, true development transcends borders and divisions, and is rooted in the collective advancement of all people. The Thai Development Assistance Program (TDAP) embodies Thailand’s unwavering commitment to international solidarity, as we work hand-in-hand with nations, communities, and peoples to foster participatory democracy, economic justice, and sustainable growth. TDAP is not about charity, but about mutual evolution—transforming systems of inequality and empowering communities to control their own futures.

We envision a world where development is not merely about meeting the basic needs of the underserved, but about creating equitable opportunities for everyone. Our vision aligns with our deep belief that sustainable, people-centered development is built on solidarity, collective ownership, and democratic participation.

Our Approach: Democratic Planning and Solidarity

TDAP operates under the guiding principles of Democratic Planning and Collective Ownership. We believe that meaningful development arises from the active participation of the communities we support. Rather than imposing top-down solutions, we work closely with local populations, listening to their needs, sharing resources, and building together. We respect and recognize the autonomy, culture, and wisdom of each community, knowing that true development is rooted in their own vision of progress.

This approach is consistent with our foundational foreign policy pillars:

• Human Rights, Humanitarianism, and Humanism (3Hs): Development should serve the dignity and well-being of every individual.
• Democracy, Due Process, and Development (3Ds): Development is a process that must be democratic, inclusive, and just, ensuring that every individual has access to opportunities, healthcare, education, and the rule of law.
• Justice, Liberty, Opportunity, Vision, Equality (JLOVE): We uphold the universal principles of justice, liberty, and equality, ensuring that all people have the freedom and opportunity to thrive.

Through these guiding frameworks, TDAP is designed to build sustainable, cooperative economies while championing the principles of equality, justice, and human dignity.

Development assistance isn’t charity—it’s mutual evolution toward a more equitable world. TDAP operates on principles of democratic planning and collective ownership, working directly with communities to build sustainable, worker-owned enterprises and democratic institutions. Our partnerships focus on transferring knowledge and resources while respecting local autonomy and wisdom.

Key Initiatives: Empowering Communities through Solidarity

1. Cooperative Agriculture Network

Our flagship initiative, the Cooperative Agriculture Network, connects agricultural communities worldwide through democratic planning and shared ownership. We work with partner communities in Southeast Asia, Africa, and beyond, providing expertise and resources to empower local farmers to form worker cooperatives. Through collective ownership of land and resources, these communities can increase their food sovereignty while minimizing environmental harm.

By empowering these communities to control their own food systems, we ensure that agriculture is not only a means of survival, but a platform for collective prosperity and justice. This initiative aligns with Thailand’s belief in sustainable and equitable economic models, where every community has the right to determine how they cultivate, distribute, and access food.

2. Technology Democracy Initiative

Thailand’s technological advancements are at the forefront of global progress, and we are committed to ensuring that these advances serve the collective good. Through the Technology Democracy Initiative, we are helping our international partners build their own sustainable technological futures. The initiative focuses on establishing community-owned tech hubs, developing open-source platforms, and transferring knowledge on democratic tech governance models.

By sharing Thailand’s cutting-edge technology in a way that is rooted in democratic ownership and control, we help partner nations build technological ecosystems that are equitable, inclusive, and sustainable. This initiative supports Thailand’s commitment to creating a global technological infrastructure that benefits all people, not just the privileged few.

3. Emergency Response Framework

When disaster strikes, TDAP is ready to respond with the speed, resources, and expertise that only a nation committed to humanitarianism can provide. Our Emergency Response Framework ensures that we are not only ready to deliver immediate aid but also help communities build long-term resilience. Whether responding to natural disasters or humanitarian crises, TDAP deploys world-class Thai technology and expertise within hours.

In addition to providing immediate relief, we work with local governments and organizations to rebuild infrastructure that is sustainable, equitable, and democratic. Our approach to disaster response ensures that communities are empowered to shape their own recovery, respecting their dignity and autonomy every step of the way.

How We Work: Community-Centered Development

At the heart of TDAP is our commitment to democratic planning and transparent resource distribution. Every project, from cooperative agriculture to technology hubs, begins with community assemblies where local voices and priorities guide the direction of development efforts. We believe that the communities we serve are the best experts in their own needs.

Our role is to provide support, share knowledge, and facilitate resources—never to impose external agendas. This commitment to participatory democracy aligns with our foreign policy framework, emphasizing the importance of due process and human rights in all of our engagements. Through socialist principles, we ensure that resources are allocated transparently, and every participant in the development process can trace how their contributions are used.

Knowledge Exchange: Mutual Learning for Sustainable Development

At TDAP, we believe that development is not just about sharing resources—it is about sharing knowledge. Our Knowledge Exchange framework fosters a two-way flow of information, where Thailand’s technical expertise is matched with the traditional knowledge and wisdom of our partner communities. This exchange ensures that solutions are contextually relevant and sustainable, drawing on both modern innovation and local innovation.

Our approach encourages ongoing learning and adaptation, ensuring that communities are not just recipients of development but active participants in creating their own future. This is in line with Thailand’s vision of equality and visionary progress, where development is seen as an ongoing, collaborative effort that benefits all people.

A Global Movement for Solidarity and Justice

The Thailand Development Assistance Program (TDAP) is not just a collection of aid programs—it is a commitment to building a just, equitable, and sustainable world. Guided by the pillars of human rights, democracy, and justice, TDAP aims to empower communities, support cooperative economies, and strengthen democratic institutions.

As Thailand continues to grow as a global leader, we remain deeply committed to working in solidarity with our international partners to build a future where all people can live with dignity, opportunity, and freedom. Through TDAP, Thailand is not just offering aid—we are sharing a vision for a world where development serves the collective good, not just the interests of the powerful and wealthy.

United Against Imperialism and Greed​

A Network of Free People

The Friends of Thailand (FOTH) is a bold and visionary global network united by an unshakable belief in the Socialist Republic of Thailand as a beacon of true freedom, justice, equity, and democracy. In an era dominated by the hollow promises of an oligarchic "Free World," we stand as a resolute force determined to redefine what it means to be free—unbound by exploitation, oppression, or imperialist hypocrisy. FOTH recognizes that history's great transformations have always been forged through collective action, and we draw strength from that enduring truth. In defiance of the morally bankrupt power structures of Washington—a regime rooted in centuries of slavery, systemic racism, and the relentless exploitation of labor—we demand the realization of a world where freedom is not a privilege for the few but a birthright for all.

A Vision of Better World

At FOTH, we hold an unyielding vision for a world unshackled from the injustices of the past—a world that relentlessly evolves to uplift the well-being of ordinary people. Our dream is not of a society where a select few stand above the rest, but of one where everyone is an ordinary person, free from the chains of class distinctions and exploitation. We envision a future where the wealth we create through our labor—the stolen surplus value siphoned off for the luxuries of the bourgeoisie—is reclaimed, ensuring that no one’s comfort is built on another’s suffering.

Our foundation is a simple yet profound truth: healthcare, education, housing, and social security are not bargaining chips for political gain but universal rights owed to every human being. We stand resolute against the forces of conservatism, whose toxic agenda seeks to preserve a stagnant status quo, denying humanity its rightful progress. Our fight is not just for today but for the promise of a brighter tomorrow, a future built on the enduring principles of communism—a society where equality, justice, freedom, and shared prosperity are not aspirations but realities.

A Movement Toward Real Democracy

As a member of FOTH, you join a global movement that empowers individuals to take action where it matters most—in their workplaces, communities, and daily lives. Whether organizing in your local workplace or exercising your right to peaceful protest in the face of systemic unemployment, FOTH stands with you every step of the way. Our network operates on the principle of mutual aid, providing resources and support to help members establish and strengthen trade unions worldwide. We believe that working people are the bedrock of all societies, the undeniable engine of progress, and together, we can reclaim what is rightfully ours.

FOTH offers a wide range of educational programs and workshops designed to equip members with the tools they need to assert their democratic rights and build collective power. We encourage you to inform, inspire, and mobilize your coworkers, families, and communities, sharing the transformative success of socialism in Thailand as a model for a better world. As our network grows in your local area, we can coordinate strike actions to demand fundamental rights—fair wages, secure housing, job stability, universal healthcare, and so much more. These are not privileges to be granted by capitalists but rights to be claimed by the people who sustain society. Together, we can turn solidarity into action and action into change.

A Sanctuary For Freedom Fighters

In the face of systemic oppression by governments and market-driven regimes whose loyalties lie with the oligarchy, FOTH stands as your unwavering ally. When authoritarian forces move to silence dissent—detaining you without due process, denying you the basic right to a fair trial, and weaponizing fear to uphold their power—we are here to provide a lifeline. We understand the risks you take as a fighter against inequality and exploitation, and we are prepared to support you in every way possible.

FOTH operates an always-available emergency hotline and social media channels, ensuring that help is never out of reach. If you find yourself trapped in the shadows of capitalist authoritarianism, we will act swiftly to extract you from the dystopian reality they have built and bring you to safety in Thailand. There, we will work to secure your citizenship or asylum—whichever serves your needs best—as a testament to your courage and commitment in resisting the oligarchic tide. You are not alone in this fight; together, we will build a future where no one is abandoned to the machinery of oppression, and where freedom truly belongs to the people.

The Beginning of the Proletariat Revolution

The ultimate goal of our movement is to help create the conditions for a socialist revolution in your country—a moment born not from the desire of the working class, but as an inevitable response to the ceaseless provocation and exploitation by the capitalist elite. Revolutions are never arbitrary; they arise when the greed of the oligarchs ignites such widespread anger and solidarity that society coalesces into a unified force—embodied in massive trade union federations with an unbreakable membership. When that threshold is reached, we can organize a general strike to demand the peaceful transformation of society.

We, as communists, are steadfast in our commitment to peaceful change and negotiation. History, however, reminds us that the ruling class rarely relinquishes power without a fight. Should peaceful revolution be actively suppressed, should the machinery of oppression move to crush the will of the people, we must be prepared to take the final step: the incitement of a full-scale uprising. This is not a choice we take lightly but a last resort—a necessary act to dismantle the structures of exploitation and establish a truly democratic socialist order. Together, we will march toward a future defined not by oppression, but by freedom, justice, equality, and dignity for all.

Confederal Foreign Policies​

The foreign policies of the Socialist Republic of Thailand represent a set of foundational values that the confederal government must adhere to in representing the free communes and autonomous provincial federations of the transitional socialist republic. Dialectical and historical materialism serve as a guiding light for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in devising and implementing these policies under Marxist principles. Community Assemblies do not delegate the confederal government the power to amend this guideline.​

I. Overarching Principles​

1. Proletarian Internationalism: Under Socialist Participatory Democracy, Thailand is a transitional socialist republic committed to the eventual realization of global communism. The existing superstructure that grants civil liberties, social justice, and economic equality stemmed from the 1998 Thai Revolution, in which the Thai proletariat decisively rejected capitalism and its inherent exploitation. Under a materialist analysis, this break from the immoral and inhumane system has provided a significant increase in living standards for millions after the communist revolution. Thailand recognizes that the struggle of workers and the poor knows no borders to establish a worldwide stateless, classless, and moneyless society. Therefore, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will pursue foreign policies fundamentally aligned with the interests of the global working class and transcend constructed national borders.

2. Anti-Imperialism & Anti-Colonialism: Capitalism is a global system that inherently breeds imperialism and neo-colonial extractions as capital broadens its tyranny. Millions of innocent people die each year due to an economic paradigm that rejects housing, healthcare, food, water, and a dignified life as human rights. Thailand's foreign policy's ultimate goal aims to abolish such a heartless system and replace it with socialism, where people will have the right to democracy in political, economic, and cultural lives. The struggle against imperialism and colonialism is thus an extension of the fight against capitalism.​

II. Economic Policies​

1. Economic Independence: History has proven countless times that the ruling elites, especially the bourgeoisie, will not cease their inherited power easily. Thailand must maintain economic independence from capitalism's corrosive mentality, when feasible, to minimize vulnerability arising from capitalist pressure, sanctions, or blackmail. This defensive measure is necessary to protect Thailand's decentralized, democratically planned socialist system. It is not a rejection of international engagement.

2. International Solidarity: Thailand must reject the illogical notion that maximum profit generation is possible in a finite world, preventing further harm to ecological destruction. It will prioritize international trade with socialist-leaning and anti-capitalist entities based on principles of mutual aid, collective benefits, and fair valuation of labor. The creation of an alternative trade bloc, free from exploitative practices, is a strategy to fight against global capitalism and its Western benefactors.

3. Socialization and Collectivization: The means of production and essential services must remain in the hands of those who contribute labor. Thailand supports the dismantling of state and private ownership of productive assets, which is a prime reason why capitalist procedural democracy is not genuine. The people must have the right not only to elect politicians into executive offices but also to exercise democratic rights in their workplaces and local communities.​

III. Political Policies​

1. Non-Interventionism: The population of each country has the right to self-determination that must be respected. However, Thailand will not condone any suppression of democratic movement, mass organization, or abolition of the monarchy. It will intervene only in direct support of genuine working-class or anti-imperialist liberation movements when explicitly requested.

2. Critical Engagement: Thailand will maintain its materialist stance against global liberal institutions, such as the Global Assembly, to articulate its dialectical critique of capitalism. It will use such a platform to expose the imperialist hypocrisy, advocate for peace and disarmament, and build solidarity among progressive forces, while recognizing the inherent limitations of such bodies structured by capitalist states.

3. Asylum Provision: Thailand will offer unconditioned asylum and support to comrades, activists, and working-class individuals fleeing capitalist and authoritarian prosecutions. Capitalism, as an economic system, will inevitably lead to the downfall of democracy, human rights, and freedom. Thailand will stand against all oppression and suppression of free thoughts.

4. Public Diplomacy: Thailand will engage in ideological warfare against reactionary forces worldwide and educate working people to raise global class consciousness. it will disseminate Marxist theories, expose bourgeois ideologies such as nationalism and liberalism, and highlight the success of the libertarian communist model.​
