ThePalang Burapha Party (Thai:พรรคพลังบูรพา), known as thePhalang Chon Party until 2023, is apolitical party inThailand founded in 2011. It is based inChonburi Province. The party's key figure is its "chief adviser"Sontaya Kunplome, former minister of tourism underThaksin Shinawatra, who left theBhumjaithai Party in 2011 to found the Phalang Chon Party. Formally, the party is chaired byChao Maneewong.
In the2011 general election, the party won seven seats: one party-list seat and six constituencies. All of the seats won represent Chonburi Province, Sontaya's home province and Phalang Chon's only stronghold. After the elections, the Phalang Chon Party agreed to participate in a five-party coalition government, dominated by thePheu Thai Party and led byYingluck Shinawatra.[2] Sontaya's wifeSukumol Kunplome was given the post ofculture minister inYingluck's cabinet.
Later, on Tuesday, 24 January 2023, the Palang Chon Party held its 1/2023 general meeting to elect a new party executive committee to replace the old one whose term expired, along with amending the party's regulations, changing the name of the party to the Palang Burapha Party and ideology and party policies.[3]
