Anutin Charnvirakul [a] (born 13 September 1966) is a Thai politician and businessman who has served as the 32nd prime minister of Thailand since 2025. He has been the leader of the Bhumjaithai Party since 2012 and a member of the House of Representatives since 2019. He previously held several ministerial posts during the premierships of Thaksin Shinawatra, Prayut Chan-o-cha, Srettha Thavisin and Paetongtarn Shinawatra.

Contents

Born in Bangkok into a wealthy family of Chinese descent, Anutin was educated in Thailand and the United States. He earned a bachelor's degree in industrial engineering from Hofstra University in 1989 and subsequently completed a master's degree in business administration at Thammasat University in 1990. He later joined his family-owned company, Sino-Thai Engineering and Construction (STECON), one of Thailand's major construction firms, becoming its managing director in 1995. During his tenure, the company was involved in multiple large infrastructure projects, notably the construction of Suvarnabhumi Airport, the main international airport serving Bangkok.

Anutin began his political career in 1996 as a member of the Thai Rak Thai Party, serving as an adviser to Prachuap Chaiyasan, then Minister of Foreign Affairs. He later served as Deputy Minister of Public Health (2004; 2005–2006) and Deputy Minister of Commerce (2004). Following the dissolution of Thai Rak Thai in 2006, he was among 111 executives banned from politics for five years. During this period, he returned to private business before joining the Bhumjaithai Party upon the expiration of his ban in 2012, succeeding his father Chavarat Charnvirakul as party leader later that year.

In the 2019 general election, Anutin was elected to the House of Representatives and appointed Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Public Health in the second Prayut cabinet. During this time, he played a key role in managing the COVID-19 pandemic in the country and championed the decriminalisation of cannabis in 2022. In 2023, he was appointed Minister of the Interior while retaining his deputy premierships in the Srettha and Paetongtarn cabinets.

In June 2025, following the phone call leak involving Paetongtarn and Hun Sen, president of the Senate of Cambodia, Anutin and the Bhumjaithai Party withdrew from the coalition government, leading to his resignation from both ministerial posts and a shift to the opposition. After Paetongtarn was removed from office by the Constitutional Court in August, the Bhumjaithai Party reached an agreement with the People's Party on 3 September. People's Party leader Natthaphong Ruengpanyawut announced support for Anutin's nomination as prime minister and the formation of his minority government, on conditions including the dissolution of parliament and a snap election within four months, as well as the initiation of constitutional reforms. On 5 September 2025, with the support of the People's Party, Anutin was elected prime minister and was sworn into office by King Vajiralongkorn two days later.

Early life and family

Nicknamed Noo (Thai : หนู; literally: Rattus ), Anutin is the son of Chavarat Charnvirakul, former Minister of the Interior in the government of Abhisit Vejjajiva. His family is of Thai Chinese descent with ancestry from Guangdong. [3] His first marriage was to Satannuch Charnvirakul and has two children. His second marriage is to Sasitorn Charnvirakul. Anutin attended Assumption College in Bangkok and Worcester Academy in Massachusetts. He then completed higher education in engineering from Hofstra University in 1989. [4]

Anutin is heir to a major construction company fortune. His family's company, Sino-Thai Engineering and Construction PCL, built several government mega-projects such as Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport. [5] An engineer, Anutin served as president of Sino-Thai. [6]

Political career

In 1996, he entered politics by becoming adviser to Prachuap Chaiyasan (the Minister of Foreign Affairs) and served as Deputy Minister of Public Health from 2004 to 2005 and Deputy Minister of Commerce in 2004.

When the Thai Rak Thai Party (TRT) was dissolved in 2006, Anutin was amongst the House No.111, a group of 111 former executives of the TRT given five year political bans. The ban lasted until 30 May 2012 and prevented Anutin from holding any political office. [6] [7] During the ban, Anutin returned to being an engineer. By February 2012, he had become the President of Sino-Thai Engineering and Construction. In 2010, he established in the Rancho Charnvee Country Club near Khao Yai in Pak Chong district, Nakhon Ratchasima province. [6]

Leader of the Bhumjaithai Party

In 2012, Buriram politician and founder of the conservative Bhumjaithai party (BJT) Newin Chidchob announced his retirement from politics. A close associate of Anutin, Newin named him as a suitable choice for party leader. By this point, Anutin was a key financier for the party. [6] Anutin joined the party after the ban's expiration, and was elected as the leader of the BJT on 14 October 2012. [8]

During the 2013–2014 Thai political crisis, members of the BJT supported the anti-government People's Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC), notably Sohpon Zarum. Anutin, who was in China at the time, was unhappy with Sohpon's decision. [9] A key part of the PDRC's platform was its opposition to Thaksin's influence over Thai politics, whom Anutin had a relationship with. Anutin had facilitated an overseas meeting around 2012 between Thaksin and Sonthi Boonyaratglin who overthrew Thaksin in a military coup in 2006. [10]

In the lead-up to the 2019 general election, the BJT re-elected Anutin as party leader in October 2018 and he went on to be its prime ministerial candidate. [7] [11] The new electoral system laid out by the new 2017 constitution was seen as giving the BJT and other conservative parties an unfair advantage. [12] Going from a medium-sized party to a potential kingmaker, the party claimed to have 3 million members the end of 2018 following the partial lift on a political activities ban in September. [13] In a Super Poll conducted in late February, Anutin saw a 21.6% surge in his popularity rating. [14] The BJT ended up winning 51 seats, with Buriram continuing as a stronghold, and becoming the 5th largest party. [12] In the aftermath of the 24 March election, Anutin told his supporters in Nakhon Ratchasima that the BJT was ready to all parties to form government as long as they were loyal to the monarchy, able to make the country thrive and will not lead the country into conflict. [15] Pheu Thai secretary-general Phumtham Wechayachai said that the PT was willing to nominate Anutin as Prime Minister, even though their initial coalition plan excluded the BJT. [16]

Anutin was the BJT's sole candidate for Prime Minister in the 2023 general election. [17] After the election on May 14 made the progressive Move Forward Party (MFP) the largest party in the House, Anutin announced that the BJT would not work with anyone who sought to amend Section 112 on lèse-majesté. [18]

COVID-19 pandemic

On 13 January 2020, Thailand recorded its first case of COVID-19. [19] It recorded its second case on January 17, where Anutin stated that he was confident that Thailand could control the spread. [20] On the same day, Anutin bared the MS Westerdam from docking in Thailand and Thai airlines from issuing boarding passes to anyone on board the Westerdam. [21] Anutin initially dismiss the severity of the disease, stating that it was just a common cold and that infected doctors were not being careful enough. [22] On February 29, COVID-19 was listed as a dangerous communicable disease by the National Committee on Communicable Diseases chaired by Anutin. [23]

On 19 October 2020, Anutin announced that the initial vaccination rollout will prioritise the elderly. He also stated that 40% of vaccines would be reserved through COVAX, 40% from AstraZeneca and the rest from other sources. Siam Bioscience estimated it had the capacity to produce up to 200 million doses and that local production should begin mid-2021 after AstraZeneca was approved by the Food and Drug Administration. [24] The first shipments of AstraZeneca and CoronaVac arrived on 24 February 2021, [25] [26] and Thailand began its vaccination programme on 28 February 2021, with Anutin among the first in the country to be vaccinated. [27] Areas prioritised in the early roll-out were hotspots (Bangkok metropolitan and Tak), popular tourism provinces and economically significant provinces. [28] The programme aimed to vaccinate 50 million people by the end of 2021, but struggled with supplying the adequate vaccines. [27]

As part of its post-COVID reopening, Anutin said in April that the Ministry of Health would issue 'vaccine passports' to vaccinated residents to allow them to travel abroad. The mandatory quarantine period for vaccinated foreign visitors would also be reduced to 7 days from 14. [29] Despite the Bangkok Metropolitan area being a COVID-19 hotspot, Anutin confirmed people from the area could travel back to their home provinces for Songkhran, but warned against socialising in crowds. [30] A surge in alpha and delta variants meant Bangkok was under new lockdowns by July 2021. Anutin commented that the situation was "worrying". [31] He declared by the end of 2021 that no new lockdowns would be imposed because of the omicron variant. [32]

On 31 October 2022, Anutin said that the COVID-19 pandemic was improving globally. On October 1, the government revoked the pandemic emergency decree, and COVID-19 was downgraded to a communicable disease under surveillance. On October 9, the decree allowing the government to procure COVID-19 vaccines was revoked as Thailand's stock of vaccines was sufficient. [33]

Anutin has been criticised for his handling of the pandemic. In the initial outbreaks of COVID-19 in Thailand, Anutin made a series of derogatory remarks toward foreigners on Twitter. [34] [35] [36] [37] He initially said that it was not his account and he did not make the posts, but he later apologised for them. [38] On 25 April 2021, an online group called MorJaMaiThon (Thai : หมอจะไม่ทน, 'doctors won’t bear it anymore') launched an online campaign and petition to get Anutin to resign as health minister, claiming that Anutin was ineffective in controlling the pandemic. [22] After two days, it exceeded its goal of 200,000 signatures. [39] On 31 August 2021, Sompong Amornwiwat of PT submitted a no-confidence motion against Prayut, Anutin and four other ministers over their handling of the pandemic with support from the MFP. [40] All six survived the motion on September 4. [41]

Cannabis

Anutin has been a leading proponent of medical marijuana. [42] In May 2022 he said his ministry would give away 1 million cannabis plants in June 2022 to Thai households for license-free cultivation. [43]

Srettha and Paetongtarn governments (2023-2025)

Relationship with Pheu Thai and withdrawal from coalition

Amid rumours of the shuffle in Paetongtarn's cabinet, Anutin stated the BJT's commitment to withdrawing from the coalition if he was displaced as Minister of Interior. [44]

Premiership (2025–present)

Appointment

In the lead-up to the Constitutional Court's decision to whether to dismiss Paetongtarn as Prime Minister over ethic violations on August 29, Anutin denied that he had plans to become Prime Minister. [45] On the day prior to the decision, he met with Prawit Wongsuwon, leader of the pro-military Palang Pracharath Party, where they discussed the current national situation. [46] The court ruled 6 to 3 to remove Paetongtarn. [47] As the House could only vote for a Prime Minister who was officially nominated in the 2023 election, there were only five possible candidates including Anutin and Prayut. [48] From this, Anutin and Chaikasem Nitisiri of PT were both nominated and began to compete for support from the People's Party, the largest party that controls around a third of all seats. On September 3, Anutin signed an agreement with the People's Party to support his bid to become Prime Minister, and stated his intention of forming a minority coalition government. [49] [50] This was on the condition Anutin dissolve parliament within four months. [51]

To counter Anutin's move, Acting Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai, attempted to get King Vajiralongkorn's approval to dissolve the House of Representatives. However, legal experts disagree on whether an acting Prime Minister has the power to dissolve parliament. [52] The request was denied and a vote was scheduled on September 5 where he was voted in as prime minister after obtaining the support of 311 out of 492 MPs. [53] He abstained from voting. [54] He unveiled his cabinet on September 6. [55]

Actions on scam networks

On November 6, 2025, People's Party leader Natthaphong Ruengpanyawut criticized Anutin, accusing him of a "failure of national leadership" and a "sluggish response" to the proliferation of scam networks in the country. [56] In response to the opposition's claims, Anutin stated that the government operates "based on intelligence and observed behavior" and insisted that "No one is untouchable." He declared the fight against online crime a "national agenda item" and a "war we must win," pledging full government support, including budgetary funding and technological tools, to make Thailand a "safe zone free from scammers." [57]

Foreign policy

On 26 October 2025, Thailand and Cambodia signed an expanded cease-fire agreement in Kuala Lumpur on the sidelines of the 47th ASEAN Summit, witnessed by U.S. president Donald Trump. Anutin and Cambodian prime minister Hun Manet held the ceremony together, with the accord described by Manet as a "historic day" and by Anutin as creating "the building blocks for a lasting peace". The agreement was part of efforts to end the 2025 Cambodian–Thai border crisis, which saw heavy fighting and displacement along the two countries' border earlier in July. [58] [59]

On 26 October 2025, Anutin tried to improve diplomatic and economic ties with the United States during his first few months in office. On October 26, 2025, Thailand and the United States signed a "Framework for a Reciprocal Trade Agreement". As part of this agreement, Thailand agreed to lower non-tariff barriers and get rid of tariffs on about 99 percent of goods it imports from the U.S.. The U.S., on the other hand, kept a 19% tariff on Thai imports that could be lowered to zero for certain products under Annex III. [60]

On the same day, Thailand and the U.S. signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding (MOU) titled "Cooperation to Diversify Global Critical Minerals Supply Chains and Promote Investments". Under the MOU, the two countries committed to exploring and potentially developing Thailand's rare-earth and critical-minerals sector, including future partnerships in exploration, processing, recycling, and technology transfer. [61] [62] Anutin said that the deal would be in line with Thai law and the constitution and would not hurt Thailand's relationships with other countries. [63]

Singapore

On 7 November 2025, Anutin made his first official visit to Singapore, marking the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries. During the visit, an orchid hybrid was named in honor of Anutin and his girlfriend, Thananon Niramit. [64]

Anutin held a bilateral meeting with Singaporean prime minister Lawrence Wong, during which both sides reaffirmed their commitment to regional cooperation. A memorandum of understanding (MOU) on carbon credit trading was signed, alongside agreements to collaborate on clean energy transition, with the shared goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, and to advance the Laos–Thailand–Malaysia–Singapore power integration project. [65]

Both governments also agreed to conclude a five-year rice trade deal, strengthening Thailand's role as a key food supplier to Singapore. [66] Another MOU on public health cooperation was signed to enhance elderly care development. Anutin and Wong further committed to maintaining close cooperation in defense training and in combating transnational and cybercrime. [65]

Personal life

Anutin is a Theravāda Buddhist with a hobby for collecting amulets, and is fond of meditation and praying. [67] [68] He also has a passion for gastronomy saying that "dining is always a great pleasure" in his life, with the Bangkok Post describing his lifestyle as epicurean. In a 2012 interview with the Bangkok Post, Anutin said that he regularly reads seven newspapers where he is attracted to their restaurant review columns. [69] Flying is another of his hobbies he adopted during his political ban. By the end of the ban, Anutin owned four planes, including a Cirrus Aircraft, and started a chartered flight business called AC Aviation. He also owns the Khanong Phra private airport in Pak Chong. [6] Anutin has used his plane to also eat at places far outside of Bangkok, such as Sukhothai, Loei, and Buriram with his family. [69]

Additionally, Anutin flies for the Thai Red Cross Society for emergency medical purposes. On October 18, 2022, Anutin flew a medical team to Udon Thani to pick up donated organs in his 40th flight for the Heart With Wings Operation since 2014. [68] Despite this extravagance, a majority of his favourite places to eat are smaller places along Bangkok's streets. He enjoys a variety of Asian cuisine and eating alone. [69] His other hobbies include horseback riding at his country club. He is also musically inclined, capable of playing both the piano and saxophone.

Family and relationships

Anutin married Sanongnuch Wattanawarangkun in 1990, and they had two children, Naiyaphak and Seranee. [70] They divorced in 2013, after which he married Sasithorn Chandrasomboon, deputy managing director of Rancho Charnvee Resort and Country Club in Pak Chong. [71] [72] The marriage ended in divorce in January 2019. [6] [73]

Three years later, he introduced businesswoman Suphanan Niramit, who later changed her name to Thananon, [74] as his new partner. [75] [76] [77] [6]
