Anutin Charnvirakul (Thai: อนุทิน ชาญวีรกูล, RTGSAnuthin Chanwirakun; born 13 September 1966) is a Thai politician and engineer who has served as the 32nd prime minister of Thailand since 2025 and as leader of the Bhumjaithai Party since 2012. He previously served as Deputy Prime Minister from 2019 to 2025, Minister of Public Health from 2019 to 2023, and Minister of the Interior from 2023 to 2025. He has also been a member of the House of Representatives since 2019.

Born into a wealthy Thai-Chinese family in Bangkok, Anutin was educated in Thailand and the United States. He earned a Bachelor of Engineering degree from Hofstra University in 1989 and a Master of Business Administration from the Faculty of Commerce and Accountancy, Thammasat University in 1990. He then joined his father, Chavarat Charnvirakul's firm, Sino-Thai Engineering and Construction, becoming general manager in 1995 and overseeing major infrastructure projects, notably the construction of Suvarnabhumi Airport on the outskirts of Bangkok.

Anutin entered politics in 1996 as a member of the Thai Rak Thai Party. He later served as advisor to Foreign Minister Prachuap Chaiyasan, Deputy Minister of Commerce in 2004, and Deputy Minister of Public Health from 2004 to 2006. Following the dissolution of Thai Rak Thai in 2006, he was among 111 executives banned from politics for five years. Returning in 2012, he joined the Bhumjaithai Party and succeeded his father as party leader. In 2019, he entered parliament and joined the second Prayut cabinet as Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Public Health, playing a key role in managing the COVID-19 pandemic in Thailand and the decriminalisation of cannabis in 2022. In 2023, he became Minister of the Interior in Srettha Thavisin's cabinet, retaining the deputy premiership under both Srettha Thavisin and Paetongtarn Shinawatra.

In June 2025, following a phone call leak between Paetongtarn and Cambodian senate president Hun Sen, Anutin and the Bhumjaithai Party withdrew from the Paetongtarn cabinet, resigned from government, and entered the opposition. After Paetongtarn was removed by the Constitutional Court in August, Anutin reached an agreement with the People's Party. On 3 September, People's Party leader Natthaphong Ruengpanyawut announced that his party would back Anutin as prime minister and support his minority government on condition that he dissolve the House of Representatives within four months, initiate constitutional reforms, and avoid forming a majority coalition. On 5 September 2025, with the People's Party's support, Anutin was elected prime minister and was sworn in by King Vajiralongkorn on 7 September.

Early life

[edit]

Anutin Charnvirakul, nicknamed "Noo" (Thai: หนู, lit.'Rattus'), was born in Bangkok on 13 September 1966, as the first child of Chavarat Charnvirakul and Tassanee Charnvirakul. His family is of Thai Chinese descent, with ancestral roots in Guangdong, China.[4]

Anutin received his early education at Assumption College in Bangkok before continuing his studies abroad at Worcester Academy in Worcester, Massachusetts, United States. In 1989, he graduated with a Bachelor of Engineering degree from Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York.[5] He later earned a Master of Business Administration degree from the Faculty of Commerce and Accountancy, Thammasat University, in 1990.

Heir to one of Thailand's largest construction fortunes, Anutin inherited close ties to the family-owned company Sino-Thai Engineering and Construction, which has been involved in several major state infrastructure projects, including Suvarnabhumi Airport.[6] Trained as an engineer, he served as managing director of Sino-Thai Engineering and Construction before entering into politics full-time.[7]

Political career

[edit]

In 1996, Anutin entered politics as an adviser to Prachuap Chaiyasan, then-Minister of Foreign Affairs. He later served as Deputy Minister of Public Health from 2004 to 2005 and Deputy Minister of Commerce in 2004.

Following the dissolution of the Thai Rak Thai Party in 2006, Anutin was among the 111 former executives subjected to a five-year political ban, which lasted until 30 May 2012 and prevented him from holding any political office.[7][8] During this period, he returned to engineering, becoming managing director of Sino-Thai Engineering and Construction by February 2012. In 2010, he also founded the Rancho Charnvee Country Club near Khao Yai National Park in Pak Chong district, Nakhon Ratchasima province.[7]

Leader of the Bhumjaithai Party

[edit]

In 2012, Newin Chidchob, founder of the Bhumjaithai Party, retired from politics and endorsed Anutin as a suitable successor. By then, Anutin had become a key financier of the party.[7] After the expiration of his political ban, Anutin joined the Bhumjaithai Party and was elected party leader on 14 October 2012.[9]

During the 2013–2014 Thai political crisis, some members of the Bhumjaithai Party supported the People's Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC), while Anutin, who was in China at the time, expressed disapproval. A central issue for the PDRC was opposition to former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra's influence. Anutin had previously facilitated an overseas meeting in 2012 between Thaksin and General Sonthi Boonyaratglin, who led the 2006 coup d'état that ousted the government of Thaksin Shinawatra.[10]

Ahead of the 2019 general election, the Bhumjaithai Party re-elected Anutin as party leader in October 2018 and nominated him as its prime ministerial candidate.[8][11] The party capitalized on the new electoral system under the 2017 constitution, growing from a medium-sized party to a potential kingmaker with 3 million members by late 2018.[12] In the election, Bhumjaithai won 51 seats, with Buriram province remaining a political stronghold, becoming the fifth-largest party. Afterward, Anutin emphasized cooperation with all parties loyal to the monarchy and committed to national stability.[13] Pheu Thai secretary-general Phumtham Wechayachai expressed willingness to nominate Anutin as Prime Minister, despite initial coalition plans excluding Bhumjaithai.[14]

In the 2023 general election, Anutin was Bhumjaithai's sole prime ministerial candidate.[15] Following the election, which made the progressive Move Forward Party the largest in the House of Representatives, Anutin declared that Bhumjaithai would not cooperate with any party seeking to amend Section 112 of the Thai Criminal Code on lèse-majesté.[16]

Prayut government (2019–2023)

[edit]

As Minister of Public Health

[edit]
COVID-19 pandemic
[edit]

On 13 January 2020, Thailand reported its first case of COVID-19.[17] The second case was recorded on 17 January, when Anutin expressed confidence that Thailand could contain the virus.[18] On the same day, he barred the MS Westerdam from docking and prohibited Thai airlines from issuing boarding passes to passengers on board.[19] Initially, Anutin downplayed the severity of the virus, calling it a common cold and suggesting infected doctors were not careful enough.[20] On 29 February, COVID-19 was officially classified as a dangerous communicable disease by the National Committee on Communicable Diseases, which he chaired.[21]

On 19 October 2020, Anutin announced that vaccine rollout would prioritise the elderly. He outlined procurement from COVAX (40%), AstraZeneca (40%), and other sources, with Siam Bioscience planning local production by mid-2021.[22] The first vaccine shipments arrived on 24 February 2021, and Thailand began vaccinations on 28 February, with Anutin among the first recipients.[23] Early rollout targeted hotspots (Bangkok Metropolitan Region and Tak province), popular tourist provinces, and economically significant areas.[24] The programme aimed to vaccinate 50 million people by the end of 2021 but faced supply shortages.[23]

In April 2021, as part of post-pandemic reopening, Anutin announced that vaccinated residents would receive 'vaccine passports' to facilitate international travel. Quarantine for vaccinated foreign visitors was reduced from 14 to 7 days.[25] Despite Bangkok being a hotspot, residents were allowed to return home for Songkran, with a caution made against large gatherings.[26] Surges in alpha and delta cases led to lockdowns in July 2021. Anutin described the situation as "worrying" but later announced no further lockdowns for the omicron variant.[27][28]

By 31 October 2022, the pandemic was improving globally. The government revoked the pandemic emergency decree on 1 October, downgraded COVID-19 to a communicable disease under surveillance, and ceased vaccine procurement as stocks were sufficient.[29]

Anutin faced criticism for his pandemic management. Early in the outbreaks, he made derogatory remarks about foreigners on Twitter, later apologizing.[30] In April 2021, the online campaign MorJaMaiThon (Thai: หมอจะไม่ทน, lit.'doctors won't bear it anymore') petitioned for his resignation, surpassing 200,000 signatures within two days.[31] On 31 August 2021, a no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, Anutin, and four other ministers over handling of COVID-19 was submitted by Sompong Amornwiwat of the Pheu Thai Party, with support from the Move Forward Party; all survived the motion on 4 September.[32]

Cannabis
[edit]

Anutin has been a leading proponent of medical cannabis.[33] In May 2022 he said his ministry would give away 1 million cannabis plants in June 2022 to Thai households for license-free cultivation.[34]

Srettha and Paetongtarn governments (2023–2025)

[edit]

Relationship with Pheu Thai and withdrawal from coalition

[edit]

Amid rumours of a cabinet reshuffle in the Paetongtarn cabinet, Anutin reaffirmed that the Bhumjaithai Party would withdraw from the coalition if he were removed from the position of Minister of Interior.[35]

Prime Minister (2025–)

[edit]

In the lead-up to the Constitutional Court's decision on whether to dismiss Paetongtarn as Prime Minister over ethics violations on August 29, Anutin denied that he had plans to become Prime Minister.[36] On the day prior to the decision, he met with Prawit Wongsuwon, leader of the Palang Pracharath Party, to discuss the national situation.[37] The court ruled 6 to 3 to remove Paetongtarn.[38] As the House of Representatives could only vote for a Prime Minister officially nominated in the 2023 election, there were only five possible candidates, including Anutin and Prayut.[39]

Anutin and Chaikasem Nitisiri of the Pheu Thai Party were nominated and began courting support from the People's Party, which controls about a third of all seats. On September 3, Anutin signed an agreement with the People's Party to support his bid, stating his intention to form a minority coalition government.[40][41] This agreement was conditional on Anutin dissolving parliament within four months.[42]

To counter Anutin, Acting Prime Minister Phumtham requested the King's approval to dissolve parliament. Legal experts disagreed on whether an acting Prime Minister has the authority to request a dissolution.[43] The King's approval was not granted, and a parliamentary vote was scheduled for September 5. Anutin was elected Prime Minister with the support of 311 out of 492 MPs.[44] He abstained from voting himself.[45] He announced his cabinet on September 6.[46] He was officially appointed the next day, after receiving royal endorsement.[47]

Personal life

[edit]

Anutin is a Buddhist who enjoys collecting Buddhist amulets and practicing meditation and prayer.[48][49] He is also passionate about gastronomy; he has said that "dining is always a great pleasure," and the Bangkok Post described his lifestyle as epicurean. In a 2012 interview, he mentioned regularly reading seven newspapers, particularly their restaurant review sections.[50]

During his political ban, Anutin developed an interest in flying. By the end of the ban, he owned four planes, including a Cirrus Aircraft, and founded a charter flight business called AC Aviation. He also owns the Khanong Phra private airport in Pak Chong.[7] He has used his planes to dine with his family in distant provinces such as Sukhothai, Loei, and Buriram.[50] Additionally, he flies for the Thai Red Cross Society for emergency medical purposes, including transporting organs in the Heart With Wings Operation; on October 18, 2022, he completed his 40th flight for a mission to Udon Thani.[49] Despite these travels, he prefers smaller local eateries in Bangkok and enjoys a variety of Asian cuisine, often dining alone.[50] Other hobbies include horse riding at his country club. He can also play the piano and saxophone.

Family

[edit]

In 1990, Anutin married Sanongnuch Wattanawarangkul. They had two children: Naiyaphak and Saeranee. The couple divorced in 2013, following his affair with Sasithorn Chandrasomboon. He and Sasithorn married in 2013 and divorced in 2019.[7] He has been married to Thananon Niramit since at least 2022. She comes from a Thai Chinese family that owns a car parts business.[51][52]
