Anutin Charnvirakul[a] (born 13 September 1966) is a Thai politician, engineer, and businessman who has served as the 32ndprime minister of Thailand since 2025. He has led theBhumjaithai Party since 2012 and has been a member of theHouse of Representatives since 2019.
Born into a wealthy family inBangkok, Anutin was educated in Thailand and the United States, earning abachelor's degree in industrial engineering fromHofstra University in 1989 and amaster's degree in business administration fromThammasat University in 1990. He joined Sino-Thai Engineering and Construction (STECON), afamily-ownedconstruction company, where he becamepresident in 1995. During his tenure, he played a major role in several large-scale infrastructure projects, most notably the construction ofSuvarnabhumi Airport.
Anutin began his political career in 1996 as a member of theThai Rak Thai Party. He later served as advisor to the Minister of Foreign Affairs,Deputy Minister of Commerce in 2004, andDeputy Minister of Public Health from 2004 to 2006, during thepremiership of Thaksin Shinawatra. Following thedissolution of the Thai Rak Thai Party in 2007, he was among the 111 executives banned from politics for five years.
In 2012, Anutin returned to politics by joining the Bhumjaithai Party, succeeding his father,Chavarat Charnvirakul, as party leader. In 2019, he was appointedDeputy Prime Minister andMinister of Public Health in thesecond Prayut cabinet. During this period, he played a key role in managingThailand's COVID-19 response and in the 2022removal of cannabis from the narcotics list. Later, in 2023, Anutin becameMinister of Interior in theSrettha cabinet, while continuing to serve as deputy prime minister under both Srettha and Paetongtarn governments.
In June 2025, amid theCambodian–Thai border crisis and following theleak of a phone conversation between Paetongtarn andHun Sen,president of the Senate of Cambodia, Anutin and the Bhumjaithai Party withdrew from thePaetongtarn cabinet and moved to the opposition. Subsequently, in August 2025, after theConstitutional Court removed Paetongtarn from office, Anutin reached an agreement with thePeople's Party. On 3 September 2025,Natthaphong Ruengpanyawut, leader of the People's Party, announced his support for Anutin to become prime minister and form aminority government under the conditions that he dissolve the House of Representatives within four months, draft a newconstitution, and avoid forming amajority coalition. On 5 September 2025, Anutin was elected Prime Minister withconfidence and supply support from the People's Party, and on 7 September,King Vajiralongkorn officially endorsed his appointment.
Anutin Charnvirakul was born on 13 September 1966 inBangkok into aThai Chinese family ofCantonese descent, with ancestral roots inGuangdong, China.[3] His nickname is "Noo" (Thai:หนู,lit. 'Rattus'). He is the eldest son ofChavarat Charnvirakul, who served as acting Prime Minister andMinister of Interior during thepremiership of Abhisit Vejjajiva, and Tassanee Charnvirakul, former director and chairwoman ofSino-Thai Engineering and Construction (STECON). His father is also the founder of the company. Anutin has two siblings: a younger brother, Masthawin Charnvirakul, who serves as a director at Sino-Thai Engineering and Construction, and a younger sister, Anilrat Nitisaroj, who is a director of ST Property and Logistics.
Anutin received his early education atAssumption College in Bangkok, before continuing his studies in the United States atWorcester Academy inWorcester, Massachusetts. In 1989, he obtained aBachelor of Engineering degree fromHofstra University inHempstead, New York.[4] He later earned aMaster of Business Administration degree from theFaculty of Commerce and Accountancy, Thammasat University in 1990.
Anutin began his career as aproduction engineer atMitsubishi Corporation inNew York City before returning to Thailand, where he rose to an executive position within the family-ownedSino-Thai Engineering and Construction.
Heir to one of Thailand's largest construction fortunes, Anutin inherited close ties to the family-owned company, which has been involved in numerous major national infrastructure projects, most notably the construction ofSuvarnabhumi Airport, the maininternational airport serving theBangkok Metropolitan Region, which comprisesBangkok,Nonthaburi,Pathum Thani,Samut Prakan,Samut Sakhon, andNakhon Pathom provinces.[5]
Trained as an engineer, he rose through the company's ranks to becomepresident of Sino-Thai Engineering and Construction, overseeing major projects andoperational management, a position he held from 1995 to 2004, before transitioning into full-time politics.[6]
In 1996, Anutin entered politics as an adviser to Prachuap Chaiyasan, who was then serving as theMinister of Foreign Affairs. His early political career advanced under subsequent administrations, and he later held cabinet positions asDeputy Minister of Public Health from 2004 to 2005 andDeputy Minister of Commerce in 2004, during thepremiership of Thaksin Shinawatra. These roles allowed him to gain experience in both public health management and national trade policy.
Following thedissolution of the Thai Rak Thai Party in 2006, Anutin was among 111 former party executives who were subjected to a five-year political ban by theConstitutional Court. The ban, which lasted until 30 May 2012, prohibited him from holding any political office or participating in political activities.[6][7]
During this period of political hiatus, Anutin shifted his focus back to the private sector. He resumed work in the family business and became the managing director of Sino-Thai Engineering and Construction by February 2012, overseeing major infrastructure and construction projects. In addition to his engineering career, he also expanded into the hospitality and tourism sector, founding the Rancho Charnvee Country Club nearKhao Yai National Park inPak Chong district,Nakhon Ratchasima province, in 2010.[6]
In 2012,Newin Chidchob, founder of theBhumjaithai Party, announced his retirement from active politics and publicly endorsed Anutin as his political successor. By this time, Anutin had already become one of the party's most influential figures and principal financiers, playing a crucial role in sustaining the party's operations during a period of political uncertainty.[6] After the expiration of his five-year political ban, Anutin officially joined the Bhumjaithai Party and was unanimously elected as its leader on 14 October 2012.[8]
During the2013–2014 Thai political crisis, the Bhumjaithai Party maintained a relatively neutral stance, although some members expressed sympathy for thePeople's Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC), which sought to remove the government ofYingluck Shinawatra. Anutin, who was traveling in China at the time, distanced himself from the protests and expressed disapproval of the party's involvement. The PDRC's main agenda focused on opposing the political influence of former prime ministerThaksin Shinawatra. Notably, Anutin had previously acted as an intermediary in 2012 by arranging a private overseas meeting between Thaksin and GeneralSonthi Boonyaratglin, thecommander-in-chief of the Royal Thai Army, who had led the2006 coup d'état that ousted Thaksin's government.[9]
Ahead of the2019 general election, Anutin was re-elected as Bhumjaithai Party leader in October 2018 and became its official prime ministerial candidate.[7][10] The party effectively capitalized on the mixed-member proportional representation system introduced under the2017 constitution, expanding its membership base to approximately three million by late 2018 and positioning itself as a pivotal "kingmaker" in post-election coalition politics.[11]
In the 2019 election, Bhumjaithai won 51 parliamentary seats, solidifying its influence in theBuriram stronghold and becoming the fifth-largest party in theHouse of Representatives. Following the results, Anutin emphasized his commitment to cooperating with all political parties loyal to the monarchy and supporting policies aimed at national stability.[12] Although thePheu Thai Party initially excluded Bhumjaithai from its coalition plans, Pheu Thai secretary-generalPhumtham Wechayachai later expressed openness to nominating Anutin as a compromise candidate for prime minister.[13]
In the2023 general election, Anutin once again served as Bhumjaithai's sole prime ministerial candidate.[14] Following the election, which saw the progressiveMove Forward Party emerge as the largest faction in the House of Representatives, Anutin reaffirmed his party's conservative stance, declaring that Bhumjaithai would not form a coalition with any party advocating amendments to Section 112 of theThai Criminal Code, which pertains tolèse-majesté.[15]

On 13 January 2020, Thailand reported its first case ofCOVID-19.[16] The second case was confirmed on 17 January, when Anutin, who becameMinister of Public Health in 2019, expressed confidence that Thailand could contain the virus.[17] On the same day, he barred theMSWesterdam from docking in Thailand and prohibited Thai airlines from issuing boarding passes to its passengers.[18] Initially, Anutin downplayed the virus, describing it as a common cold and attributing infections among doctors to insufficient caution.[19] On 29 February, COVID-19 was officially classified as a dangerous communicable disease by the National Committee on Communicable Diseases, which he chaired.[20]
On 19 October 2020, Anutin announced thatvaccine rollout would prioritize the elderly and outlined procurement plans fromCOVAX (40%),AstraZeneca (40%), and other sources, withSiam Bioscience planning local production by mid-2021.[21] The first vaccine shipments arrived on 24 February 2021, and vaccinations began on 28 February, with Anutin among the first recipients.[22] Early rollout targeted hotspots (Bangkok Metropolitan Region andTak province), tourist provinces, and economically important areas. The program aimed to vaccinate 50 million people by the end of 2021 but faced supply shortages.[22]
In April 2021, Anutin announced that vaccinated residents would receive 'vaccine passports' to facilitate international travel, and quarantine for vaccinated foreign visitors was reduced from 14 to 7 days.[23] Despite Bangkok being a hotspot, residents were allowed to return home forSongkran (Thai New Year), with a caution against large gatherings.[24] Surges inAlpha andDelta cases prompted lockdowns in July 2021, which Anutin described as "worrying," but he later announced no further lockdowns for theOmicron variant.[25][26]
By 31 October 2022, theglobal pandemic had improved, leading the government to revoke the pandemic emergency decree on 1 October, downgrade COVID-19 to a communicable disease under surveillance, and halt vaccine procurement as stocks were sufficient.[27]
Anutin faced criticism for his pandemic management. Early on, he made derogatory remarks about foreigners onTwitter, for which he later apologized.[28] In April 2021, the online campaignMorJaMaiThon (Thai:หมอจะไม่ทน,lit. 'doctors won't bear it anymore') petitioned for his resignation, gathering over 200,000 signatures within two days.[29] On 31 August 2021, a no-confidence motion against Prime MinisterPrayut Chan-o-cha, Anutin, and four other ministers over COVID-19 management was submitted bySompong Amornwiwat of the Pheu Thai Party, supported by the Move Forward Party; all survived the motion on 4 September.[30]
As Minister of Public Health, Anutin Charnvirakul actively campaigned for thelegalization of cannabis andcannabis cultivation in Thailand.[31][32] He has been a prominent advocate ofmedical cannabis and its integration into Thailand’s healthcare and economic frameworks.[33]
On 8 May 2022, Anutin announced viaFacebook that the government would distribute one million freeCannabis plants to households nationwide, beginning on 9 June 2022. This initiative aimed to encourage license-free cultivation of cannabis at the household level.[34][35][36] The program was part of a broader strategy to position cannabis as acash crop and to develop Thailand as a regional hub formedical cannabis cultivation and innovation.[32]
In June 2022, the cannabis flower was officially removed from Thailand'snarcotics list,[32] effectively decriminalizing its use and possession. The reform led to the release of approximately 4,200 prisoners and was widely regarded as a historic milestone in Thai drug policy.[37]
Cannabis extracts and cannabis-derived products, including edibles, supplements, and cosmetics containing less than 0.2%THC, were legalized, while products with higher THC concentrations continued to require a medical prescription. The policy also promoted small-scale, community-based cannabis farming to support local economic development.
Cannabis dispensaries began operating as early as April 2022,[38] and their numbers expanded rapidly nationwide. Although cannabis sales were officially limited to medical use, dispensaries generally did not require prescriptions, creating a legalgray area and prompting calls for clearer legislation governingrecreational cannabis use.[32][39]
On 25 June 2025, following the Bhumjaithai Party’s withdrawal from the ruling coalition inPaetongtarn Shinawatra's government amid the2025 Thai political crisis, Public Health MinisterSomsak Thepsuthin from thePheu Thai Party introduced new regulations classifying the cannabis flower as a controlled herb. The rules prohibited advertising and recreational sales, allowing only medical use under prescription from licensed medical doctors, traditionalThai orChinese medicine practitioners, pharmacists, or dentists.[22][19] Whilerecreational use technically remained decriminalized, Somsak indicated plans to implement stricter regulations and possibly reclassify cannabis as a narcotic.[40]
Amid rumours of a cabinet reshuffle in thePaetongtarn cabinet, Anutin reaffirmed that theBhumjaithai Party would withdraw from the coalition if he were removed from the position ofMinister of Interior.[41] On 18 June 2025, the party announced that it would leave the government, effective 19 June.[42][43] The party, which holds 69 seats in the House of Representatives,[42] cited a leaked phone call between Prime MinisterPaetongtarn Shinawatra andHun Sen,president of the Senate of Cambodia, as the primary reason for its withdrawal.[42][44][45]
Following the party's exit from the coalition, Paradorn Prissanananthakul, Second Deputy Speaker of theHouse of Representatives, along with eight Bhumjaithai ministers, resigned from their government positions.[46]
In the lead-up to theConstitutional Court's ruling on August 29 regarding whether to dismiss Paetongtarn as Prime Minister over ethics violations, Anutin denied having any intention of seeking the premiership.[47] A day before the decision, he met withPrawit Wongsuwon, leader of thePalang Pracharath Party, to discuss the national situation.[48] The court ultimately voted 6–3 to remove Paetongtarn from office.[49]
Because only candidates officially nominated in the 2023 general election were eligible for selection, there were five potential contenders, including Anutin and Prayut.[50]
Anutin andChaikasem Nitisiri of the Pheu Thai Party were nominated and sought support from thePeople's Party, which held roughly one-third of the seats. On September 3, Anutin signed an agreement with the People's Party endorsing his nomination and outlining plans to form aminority coalition government.[51][52] The deal required him to dissolve parliament within four months.[53]
In response, Acting Prime Minister Phumtham attempted to dissolve parliament with royal approval fromKing Vajiralongkorn, though legal scholars debated whether an acting premier had such authority.[54] The request was denied, and parliament proceeded to vote on September 5. Anutin was elected Prime Minister with 311 votes out of 492, abstaining from voting himself.[55][56] He announced the composition ofhis cabinet on September 6,[57] and was formally sworn in the following day after receiving royal endorsement from King Vajiralongkorn.[58]
On 6 November 2025, People's Party leaderNatthaphong Ruengpanyawut criticized Prime Minister Anutin, accusing him of a "failure of national leadership" and a "sluggish response" to the spread ofscam networks across the country.[59] In response, Anutin stated that the government was acting "based on intelligence and observed behavior" and insisted that "no one is untouchable." He described the campaign againstonline crime as a "national agenda item" and a "war we must win," pledging full governmental support, including funding and technological resources, to make Thailand a "safe zone free fromscammers."[60]
On 26 October 2025, Thailand and Cambodia signed an expandedcease-fire agreement at theKuala Lumpur Convention Centre inKuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on the sidelines of the47th ASEAN Summit.[61] The ceremony was jointly presided over by Anutin and Cambodian prime ministerHun Manet, and witnessed by Malaysian prime ministerAnwar Ibrahim and U.S. presidentDonald Trump. The accord represents a significant milestone inregional diplomacy, establishing new mechanisms forborder security, joint monitoring, and conflict prevention along theshared border.
Manet described the signing as a "historic day" for both nations, emphasizing its importance in fostering stability and renewed cooperation after months of heightened tensions. Meanwhile, Anutin characterized the agreement as laying the "building blocks for a lasting peace and mutual prosperity".
The expanded ceasefire forms part of broader efforts to end theCambodian–Thai border crisis, a conflict that had erupted in early July, resulting in heavy fighting,civilian casualties, and significant displacement along the border. Analysts and observers noted that President Trump's presence at the signing underscored renewed U.S. engagement in Southeast Asian peace initiatives and highlighted U.S. support forASEAN-led approaches to conflict resolution, signaling an international commitment to long-term stability in the region.[62][63]

On the same day, Thailand and the United States signed a "Framework for a Reciprocal Trade Agreement" in Kuala Lumpur, in a ceremony witnessed by President Trump. The agreement aimed to deepen economic cooperation and enhancebilateral trade flows. Under the framework, Thailand agreed to lower non-tariff barriers and eliminate tariffs on approximately 99 percent of goods imported from the United States. In return, the United States retained a 19 percent tariff on Thai imports, which could be reduced to zero for specific categories of goods listed under Annex III of the accord.[64]
Also on 26 October, Thailand and the United States signed a non-bindingmemorandum of understanding (MOU) entitled "Cooperation to Diversify Global Critical Minerals Supply Chains and Promote Investments." The MOU, observed by President Trump, committed both nations to explore and potentially develop Thailand'srare-earth and critical-minerals sector. It outlined future partnerships in areas such asmineral exploration,processing,recycling, andtechnology transfer, reflecting the United States' growing interest in Southeast Asia's strategicmineral resources, especially theGulf of Thailand.[65][66]
Anutin stated that both agreements aligned with Thailand's national interests andlegal framework, emphasizing that the country would uphold its sovereignty and maintain balanced relations with other global partners. He added that the cooperation marked a "new chapter" inThailand–United States relations, symbolizing a commitment to mutual growth and sustainable development in theIndo-Pacific region.[67]
On 7 November 2025, Anutin made his first official visit toSingapore, 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 domestic partner,Thananon Niramit.[68]
Anutin held a bilateral meeting with Singaporean prime ministerLawrence Wong, during which both sides reaffirmed their commitment to regional cooperation. A MOU oncarbon credit trading was signed, alongside agreements to collaborate onclean energy transition, with the shared goal of achievingcarbon neutrality by 2050, and to advance the Laos–Thailand–Malaysia–Singapore power integration project.[69] Both governments also agreed to conclude a five-year rice trade deal, strengthening Thailand's role as a key food supplier to Singapore.[70] Another MOU on public health cooperation was signed to enhance elderly care development. The two leaders further committed to maintaining close cooperation in defense training and in combatingtransnational andonline crime.[69]
Anutin is aTheravāda Buddhist who enjoys collectingamulets and practices meditation and prayer.[71][39] He is also known for his passion forgastronomy, once remarking that "dining is always a great pleasure".[72] TheBangkok Post has described his lifestyle as distinctlyepicurean. In a 2012 interview, he revealed that he regularly reads seven newspapers daily, focusing especially on restaurant reviews.[31]
During his five-year political ban, Anutin developed a keen interest in aviation. By the end of the ban, he owned four aircraft, including aCirrus Aircraft, and founded a charter flight company, AC Aviation. He also owns the Khanong Phra private airport inPak Chong district,Nakhon Ratchasima province.[6] He frequently used his planes for family dining trips to provinces such asSukhothai,Loei, andBuriram.[31] Additionally, he volunteers for theThai Red Cross Society in emergency medical operations, including organ transport missions under the "Heart With Wings" program. On 18 October 2022, he completed his 40th mission, flying toUdon Thani province.[39]
Despite his travels, Anutin prefers small, local restaurants in Bangkok and enjoys a wide range of Asian cuisines, often dining alone.[31] His other hobbies include horseback riding at his country club. He is also musically inclined, capable of playing both thepiano andsaxophone.
Anutin married Sanongnuch Wattanawarangkun in 1990, and they had two children, Naiyaphak and Seranee.[73] They divorced in 2013, after which he married Sasithorn Chandrasomboon, deputy managing director of Rancho Charnvee Resort and Country Club in Pak Chong.[74][75] The marriage ended in divorce in January 2019.[6][76]
Three years later, he introduced businesswomanSuphanan Niramit, who later changed her name to Thananon,[77] as his new partner.[78][79][80]
