a lesson learned from the experiences in conducting a public

consultation process of foreign countries and Thailand in the
past. The main objective made in the said project is to create
a set of knowledge for developing a model for conducting a

public consultation process in Thailand according to Section
77 Paragraph 2 of the current constitution.

Lessons learned from European Union, United Kingdom,
and United States reveals that the legislative process that
implements the process of public consultation at all stages can

legitimize the laws and regulations after enactment. However,
in the case of Thailand, even though the attempts to develop

the public consultation forums when drafting a bill or initiating
public policies have long been paid attention by several
Thai governments, many problems and obstacles could be

observed in almost the procedures, for example, in the stages
of planning, preparing, stakeholders analysis, selecting methods

of receiving opinions and suggestions from involved persons,
writing a report, evaluation, and sharing experiences with other
organizations. Moreover, the aim of resolving such problems

and obstacles after the promulgation of the constitution’s
Section 77 Paragraph 2 by suggesting all state agencies to

follow the guideline for conducting public consultation through
the government’s website (www.lawamendment.go.th) was
not firmly successful.
