Royal Command Bestows Honorary Ranks on Three Deputy Interior Ministers

A royal command has officially granted the honorary rank of 'Nai Kong Ek' to three Deputy Ministers of the Interior.

According to a report by Matichon Online published on August 6, 2026, a royal command has been issued to bestow the honorary rank of 'Nai Kong Ek' (First Class Adjutant) upon three Deputy Ministers of the Interior: Polphee Suwanchawee, Jeset Thaiwat, and Worasit Kanokkanjanasit.

This formal recognition is part of the traditional administrative and ceremonial structure within the Thai government, where high-ranking officials are often granted honorary military or paramilitary titles. For residents and expatriates, this development reflects the ongoing administrative alignment within the current cabinet. While such appointments are largely ceremonial and do not directly alter the day-to-day functions of the Ministry of the Interior, they signify the official status of these ministers within the state hierarchy.

As of now, the specific implications of these honorary ranks regarding the ministers' official duties remain unchanged. There are no further details provided regarding additional responsibilities or changes to the ministry's operational policies following this announcement. Observers of Thai politics may view this as a standard procedural update in the recognition of government officials. Further information regarding the specific ceremonial investiture or any subsequent administrative adjustments has not been disclosed at this time.
