for analyzing social impact as part of RIA processes. It aims to study and extract
the lessons learnt to create a new idea for developing RIA rules for Thailand.
The study report was divided into six chapters, starting from its introduction
in Chapter 1. Chapter 2 then illustrates an existing framework for RIA impact
assessment in Thailand. Chapter 3 presents the findings of social impact
assessment in the context of the international level through the document
published by the EU and OECD. Chapter 4 provides the frameworks and cases
studies from comparator jurisdictions, namely the United Kingdom, Ireland,
Netherlands, and New Zealand. Chapter 5, consequently, analyzes and presents
the findings of how RIA in Thailand can be compared with those implemented
elsewhere. Finally, Chapter 6 summarizes essential findings from the previous
chapter in a manual for further developing RIA assessment rules.
Above all, key findings drawn from Chapters 2 – 5 can be exemplified as
follows.

(Chapter 2)
Chapter 2 presents rules and approaches relating to RIA assessment under
Thai laws to set the scene what the status quo of the RIA regime in Thailand.
This chapter overviews RIA related laws, the rules for analyzing impacts, details
about approaches for the assessment, examples of RIA reports in the part of
impact assessment, and the observations drawn from the status quo of Thai laws.
Key findings from this chapter can be summarized that the duty of state
agencies to conduct RIA is provided in the 2017 Constitution and RIA Act 2019.
The details of how RIA can be conducted are also provided in non-legally binding
instruments, namely RIA Guidelines and RIA Handbook. Second, the guidelines for
preparing an RIA report pay attention to assessing impacts from the law draft and
fail to require the presentation and assessment of impacts from other options.
