The government is proposing to allocate a budget of over 8.4 billion baht to the Royal Offices, according to a budget document released by the Budget Bureau on 26 December 2023. 

<p>According to a Cabinet resolution on 15 March on the 2023 annual budget, the Ministry of Defence has proposed a budget of 197,292.7 million baht, 2 per cent lower than the 2022 budget of 201,166.4 million baht. The Royal Offices under the King have also proposed a budget cut of 1.71 per cent. Some other budgets related to the monarchy generally either&nbsp;remain the same or increase.</p>

<p>The Election Commission (EC) has summoned Move Forward Party MPs to explain their comments during the parliamentary debate on the 2022 budget relating to the monarchy. This follows a petition filed by a then-member of the ruling party on the grounds that they were an affront to the Kingdom&rsquo;s democratic regime.</p>
