The thesis aims to study and analyze the source and structure of board of directors of state enterprises in Thailand. Currently, the Standard Qualifications of Directors and Officials of State Enterprise Act B.E. 2518 (1975) determines that in an enterprise the authorized person shall appoint at least one out of three the directors who are not a director by position from the list of state enterprise directors made by the Ministry of Finance. This concept is a significant origin in revolutionizing the process of selection and appointment of state enterprise directors in Thailand. However, this research reveals that the above mentioned Act provides political authorities with a lot consideration in appointment of state enterprise directors, allowing the political interference to some extent. In other words, event though the Act compels that one out of three state enterprise directors who are not a director by position shall be selected and appointed from the list of state enterprise directors made by the Ministry of Finance, the Act does not determine the process of selection and appointment of the rest two state enterprise directors. The silence on this matter in the Act is, therefore, a loophole for political authorities to appoint their acquainted persons to be a state enterprise director, resulting that the position of state enterprise director becomes a tool for political reciprocation as it was in the past. Therefore, this paper proposes resolution guidelines including the amendment of the Standard Qualifications of Directors and Officials of State Enterprise Act B.E. 2518 (1975). Specifically, the Act is proposed to be amended in that in a state enterprise the appointment of state enterprise directors who are not a director by position shall be entirely selected from the list of state enterprise directors made by Ministry of Finance. This will ascertain transparency of appointment of state enterprise directors and acquisition of knowledgeable state enterprise directors.
