Thailand's Judicial Commission approved 247 transfers and promotions across the courts, including elevating judges to lead the Criminal, Civil, and Anti-Corruption courts in a major administrative reshuffle.
On August 4, 2569, the Judicial Commission of Thailand held its 20th meeting of the year on August 3 at the Rajdumnern Hall on the third floor of the Justice Building, chaired by Adisak Tantivengs, President of the Supreme Court. The commission approved a list of 247 judicial transfers and position swaps across three tiers and four rank levels.
Notable promotions include Mechay Tetchachanya, a Supreme Court judge, becoming director of the Criminal Court; Arthit Udomchoke elevated to head the Anti-Corruption and Misconduct Court; and Sampawit Tuvichian promoted to director of the Civil Court. Other significant moves include Chinoros Yongkiatsant advancing to the Supreme Court and Navi Skulwongthana becoming provincial judicial director for Region 2.
At an earlier meeting on July 13, the commission approved 56 additional transfers including Withoon Klongmeekun's promotion from deputy Supreme Court president to appellate court president, and Poemsak Saisithong's appointment to head the Political Cases Division at the Supreme Court. The Criminal Court, noted as Thailand's primary court with nationwide jurisdiction, receives particular attention in these administrative reshuffles.
