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 Yingluck Shinawatra, who was previously the country's first female prime minister and now its first female president, having been elected to the position by a joint session of the National Assembly which followed a nationwide referendum that resulted in the abolition of the centuries-old Thai monarchy. The presidential residence is the Grand Palace in Bangkok, formerly the residence of the Thai monarchs.
As per the Constitution of Thailand, which was extensively revised upon the transition from monarchy to republic, the president is allowed to serve a five-year term which is only renewable once.
