No.	Portrait	Name	Took office	Left office	Days	Election	Political Party		Monarch (Reign)
1		Kutsa Kurusatienkit (1907–2002)	21st June 1961	18th October 1968	7 years, 119 days	1963 1967		Military ↓ Kankhong	Tangpanitharn (1961-1971)
			Known as the 'Red Marshal', Kurusatienkit returned from exile to lead a military coup against the government of Prince Kanisorn. His military government oversaw Kuthina's transition from an absolute to constitutional monarchy. He founded the People's Rally, a social democratic pro-conciliation party focused on land and political reform. After winning elections in 1963 and 1967, he was removed from power in 1968 by the military. He is to date Kuthina's longest serving Premier for a single term.
2		Nuengnimman Sakda (1905-1976)	18th October 1968	5th May 1969	199 days			Military (Army)
			Sakda led the 1968 coup, removing Kurusatienkit from office. With several other officers he formed the Council for National Progression, a military junta aimed at 'normalising' Kasi politics and undoing many of Kurusatienkit's reforms. It was decided that the position of premier would be cycled between the officers every six months.
3		Ngoen Chaiyachue (1911-1973)	5th May 1969	11th December 1969	220 days			Military (Army)
			Chaiyachue had served in the 1968 coup, and was the officer chosen to succeed Sakda in the premiership.
(2)		Nuengnimman Sakda (1905-1976)	11th December 1969	17th February 1970	68 days			Military (Army)
			Sakda was chosen to succeed Chaiyachue, over the objections of the navy. This resulted in the Princely Coup after just 68 days in office.
4		Prince Chennoi (1901–1988)	17th February 1970	22th May 1974	4 years, 94 days			Military (Navy)
			Prince Chennoi took power via the Princely Coup, which had the support of the king. Much of his administration was spent dealing with a worsening position in the Siamat War, ongoing and expanding RLM and other ethnic separatist group terrorism, and a declining economic situation. His harsh suppression of student protests in 1974, which saw a massacre in Mahakram which killed 74, saw further protests erupt. As the situation worsened he resigned, after being warned of an imminent coup.						Chulalongkorn (1971-1977)
5		Tulathorn Tomson (1922–1988)	22th May 1974	16th June 1974	25 days			Military (National Salvation)
			Tomson was placed in power by the army after Prince Chennoi's resignation, to provide a civilian face to the military regime. His short-lived Party for National Salvation existed to support military rule. Ongoing protests and riots saw the junta collapse and new elections scheduled.
6		Hanuman Maleenont (1907–2002)	16th June 1974	22th July 1974	36 days	1974		Independent
			Maleenont was considered a prominent moderate figure able to mediate between the military and pro-democracy movement, and was chosen to head a transitional government to oversee elections. Despite pressure from the military, he chose not to contest the elections, and peacefully transferred power to his successor.
7		Norachai Masaki (1915-1999)	22th July 1974	12th March 1978	3 years, 233 days	1974		Phak Prachathipat
			Masaki oversaw the 'Second Flowering', a period of restored democracy in Kuthina. His Democratic Party was a broad-church centre-right party. Until 1976 it governed as part of a national coalition. Masaki faced criticism for his handling of the Shimazhen Energy scandal, in which a number of Democratic delegates were accused of corrupt dealings with the Shimazhen corporation. This led to his party's defeat in the 1978 election.						Takdanai (1977-1985)
8		Yuichi Osaki (1914-1987)	12th March 1978	29th April 1984	6 years, 48 days	1978 1981		Khonnganmai
			Osaki led the New Worker's Party to victory in the 1984 elections. With the 'Pink bloc' coalition he continued Kurusatienkit's reforms and Masaaki's democratisation efforts. His attempts to tackle the military and seek peace with the RLM saw several failed coups attempted against his government. The most serious, the Chamlong Putsch, was thwarted by nationwide strikes which allowed Yuichi's government to return to the capital after three weeks. The support of the king was considered an essential factor to his survival. He resigned after the failure of his negotiations with the RLM to demilitarise.
