Government Official Criticizes Bureaucratic Reform Pace
Pakorn has criticized the slow progress of Thai bureaucratic reform, arguing that excessive committee formation has hindered actual implementation.
According to a report by Matichon Online on August 24, 2026, Pakorn has publicly criticized self-proclaimed experts who discuss bureaucratic reform without achieving tangible results. He argued that while many committees have been established to research and propose changes, these efforts have largely stalled, leaving plans to gather dust rather than being put into action.
Pakorn emphasized that the current government has already initiated a reform process focused on six key areas of development. He suggested that the focus should shift from endless deliberation to concrete execution to improve administrative efficiency.
For residents and expatriates in Thailand, this discourse highlights ongoing efforts to modernize government services. While the government claims that reform is underway, the effectiveness of these changes remains to be seen. For those interacting with government agencies, it is important to note that administrative procedures may remain unchanged in the short term despite these high-level discussions. It remains to be confirmed how the six specific areas of development will be prioritized and what measurable impacts they will have on public service delivery in the coming months.
