The Prachachat Party (Thai: พรรคประชาชาติ, lit. 'Nation Party' or 'National Party') is a political party founded in Thailand in 2018 by Wan Muhamad Noor Matha and Surapol Nakavanich. The founding members were former members of Pheu Thai Party. Due to its party leader becoming the new Speaker of the House, the executive board was dissolved in early July 2023. Its secretary general, Tawee Sodsong, was later elected as the new leader and his previous post was taken by Sugarno Matha [th], Wan Noor's brother.
The party tends to be more popular among Thai Malays, mainly in the provinces near the border with Malaysia (Yala and parts of Pattani and Narathiwat).
