The ASEAN Summit is a biannual meeting held by the members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in relation to economic,political,security,and socio-cultural development of Southeast Asian countries. In addition,it serves as a prominent regional (Asia) and international (worldwide) conference,with world leaders attending its related summits and meetings to discuss various problems and global issues,strengthening co-operation,and making decisions. The summit has been praised by world leaders for its success and ability to produce results on a global level.
Human rights in Thailand have long been a contentious issue. The country was among the first to sign the UN's Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948 and seemed committed to upholding its stipulations;in practice,however,those in power have often abused the human rights of the Thai nation with impunity. From 1977 to 1988,Amnesty International (AI) reported that there were whitewashed cases of more than one thousand alleged arbitrary detentions,fifty forced disappearances,and at least one hundred instances of torture and extrajudicial killings. In the years since then,AI demonstrated that little had changed,and Thailand's overall human rights record remained problematic. A 2019 HRW report expanded on AI's overview as it focuses specifically on the case of Thailand,as the newly government of Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha assumes power in mid-2019,Thailand's human rights record shows no signs of change.
Censorship in Thailand involves the strict control of political news under successive governments,including by harassment and manipulation.

According to the United States Department of State,"Thailand is a source,destination,and transit country for men,women,and children subjected to forced labour and sex trafficking." Thailand's relative prosperity attracts migrants from neighboring countries who flee conditions of poverty and,in the case of Burma,military repression. Significant illegal migration to Thailand presents traffickers with opportunities to coerce or defraud undocumented migrants into involuntary servitude or sexual exploitation. Police who investigated reaching high-profile authorities also received death threats in 2015.

The relations between the two are described as warm and friendly. Thailand is one of the Philippines' major trade partners and one of the Philippines' sources of rice through Thai exports.

On 22 May 2014,the Royal Thai Armed Forces,led by General Prayut Chan-o-cha,the commander-in-chief of the Royal Thai Army,launched a coup d'état,the twelfth since the country's first coup in 1932,against the caretaker government of Thailand following six months of political crisis. The military established a junta called the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) to govern the nation. The coup ended the political conflict between the military-led regime and democratic power,which had been present since the 2006 Thai coup d'état known as the "unfinished coup". Seven years later,it developed into the 2020–2021 Thai protests to reform the monarchy of Thailand.
The National Council for Peace and Order was the military junta that ruled Thailand between its 2014 Thai coup d'état on 22 May 2014 and 16 July 2019. On 20 May 2014,the military declared martial law nationwide in an attempt to stop the country's escalating political crisis,and to force the democratically elected government out of office. On 22 May,the military removed the Yingluck Shinawatra government and formed the NCPO to take control of the country. The junta censored the broadcasting system in Thailand,suspended most of the constitution,and detained members of the Thai cabinet. The NCPO was formally dissolved following the swearing-in of the new cabinet on 16 July 2019. Critics like former Thai ambassador Pithaya Pookaman charge that the NCPO "...is practically still very much intact. Its arbitrary power[s] ... transferred to the existing Internal Security Operations Command chaired by the prime minister."
