Civil society in Thailand has long served as a robust vehicle through which citizens work as one to better their communities, their country, and the wider world. Although civil society in the country has “deep historical roots,” formal regulation of civil society organizations (CSOs) emerged in 1925 with the enactment of Thailand’s Civil and Commercial Code. Since then, legislation has evolved, governments have changed, countless CSOs have been established, and social movements have risen and fallen with the shifting demands of the community. Yet, underneath these inevitable fluctuations brought alongside the march of time, some of the most fundamental issues for civil society remain: overbearing oversight of CSOs by the government, access to funding in a less-than-lucrative field, and limited meaningful participation for individuals from marginalized communities. Moreover, the advent of technology has brought on a slew of new troubling developments, handing governments the tools to monitor CSOs through advanced means such as spyware.
