Court History and Judicial System of Thailand

Abstract

Court and judicial system in each era and country will be different due to the different development of society. The regime is different. This made the court system and the judicial system different. Later, different countries had contact with other countries, so they had to improve and change to be accepted. Therefore, we need to revise the judicial process, punishments and improve the Law. In addition, the court was established to be in line with the changing society. Currently, there are two courts, a single court and a double court system. Since the announcement of the Constitution of the Kingdom of Thailand B.E.2540, Thailand has used a dual court system. As for the judicial system, there are 2 systems: the allegation system and the inquiry system. Thailand currently uses the allegation system and the inquiry system, that is, the judiciary and the military courts use the allegation system, while the Constitutional Court and the Administrative Court use the inquiry system to be in line with the changing society.
