Security and foreign policy are divided into three levels:

National: Proposing the construction of a war room to combat contact center gangs and fraudster networks, as well as a special team to seize unlawful assets.

Regional: Proposing the construction of a Greater Mekong Subregion Intelligence Center and an ASEAN Cybercrime Center, which will engage in discussions and collaboration with other countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and South Korea.

Global: Promoting fair diplomacy. Putting national interests ahead of ASEAN interests entails not taking sides, but rather adhering to ideals that prioritize a global agenda. If we firmly stick to this idea, Thailand will restore its rightful place on the global scene.

New Economic Policy.

The policy includes four engines to propel the country forward: boosting skills and productivity, converting an aging society into an opportunity, rejuvenating agriculture, supporting new industries, including the Fair Trade Competition Act, and using state authority to combat gray capital.

New Civil Service Policy.

This strategy proposes resolving existing issues, refusing to tolerate corruption, improving the budget, eliminating legal guillotines, decentralizing power, and strengthening new capabilities by expanding the state's role. Addressing future developments and building trust entails transparent and efficient dissemination of government information, as well as promoting public participation through digital technology.

New Quality of Life Policy.

This policy promotes investing in innovative quality of life initiatives for people, cities, land, the environment and digital systems. Land ownership reform in Thailand addresses the issue of land ownership, which already affects half of the country. Thailand's land holdings are estimated to be at 320 million rai, with roughly 100 million rai of land bearing title deeds. The land is owned by around 20 million people and is valued at almost 37 trillion baht. The richest 1% owns 99% of all land, or 36 trillion baht. As such, land concentration must be addressed by allowing farmers in the country to own land, creating chances and options.

Finally, Natthaphong stated that the problems of monopoly capital and unequal energy structures in society cannot be handled without restructuring the governmental structure. So, how can we return ultimate power to the people? Decisions about resources are made to benefit the majority, while decisions about investment budgets and quality of life are taken to ensure true equality for all people of this country. To tackle these issues, the highest-ranking authorities must take decisive action, not simply against individuals outside their own party. However, if members of their own political party or cabinet ministers violate the law or engage in corruption, they must be willing to take action. You cannot change the entire organization unless you are willing to take action. As a result, my main obligation is to ensure that Thailand is free of gray capital and corrupt practices.

He adding that the People's Party's candidate list announcement is intended to provide transparency and allow the public to vote for the People's Party while knowing who would be the future prime minister. There will be no random box Prime Minister situation and we will work as a team to build a Thailand that is not gray, egalitarian and globally aware.
