The Srettha cabinet, formally known as the 63rd Council of Ministers (คณะรัฐมนตรีไทย คณะที่ 63), was formed after the May 2023 Thai general election. The coalition is led by Pheu Thai Party which nominated Srettha Thavisin as its candidate for prime minister[1]

Srettha was elected as prime minister on 22 August 2023[2] and received the appointment from the royal command on the same day.[3]

The cabinet was officially sworn into office by King Rama X on 5 September 2023.[4]

Srettha was dismissed from office by the Constitutional Court on 14 August 2024, which entailed the dismissal of the entire cabinet as well.[5] Except for Srettha himself, the ministers currently remain in caretaker capacity under Phumtham Wechayachai as acting prime minister until a new cabinet is formed.[6]
