The President of Thailand, officially the President of the Republic of Thailand, is the head of state of Thailand.
Established in the aftermath of the 2022 Thai Revolution, as per the Constitution of Thailand, the office is strictly a ceremonial role, responsible mostly for approving legislation and representing the country during diplomatic functions as head of state. As of current, the office is held by Pita Limjaroenrat, who is also the first inaugural officeholder, having been elected to the position by a nationwide referendum that also saw the Thai monarchy abolished after centuries of existence. The presidential residence is the Grand Palace in Bangkok, formerly the residence of the Thai monarchs.
