For Thais Party (Template:Lang-th, Phak Pheu Thai or Pheu Thai Party, PT) is a Thai political party founded in September 2008 when it was announced that the People's Power Party, itself a successor party to former PM Thaksin Shinawatra's Thai Rak Thai, would be dissolved by the Constitutional Court of Thailand, which occurred on December 2, 2008. The party is joined by most PPP MPs which were not banned from politics and is expected to continue the policies of its predecessor parties, the TRT and the PPP. By December 3, 2008, 80 former PPP MPs have defected to the For Thais Party. It elected its executive commission on December 7, 2008, one day before a new PM is set to be voted on. The candidates for leader of the party were: Apiwan Wiriyachai, the former Vice President of the House of Representatives), former health minister Chalerm Yubamrung and former industry minister Mingkwan Saengsuwan. On December 7 Yongyuth Wichaidit was elected as the party's leader.

On the same day a parliamentary session in which almost all the major parties in the House of Representatives including the PPP's former coalition partners decided to endorse Abhisit Vejjajiva as the next Prime Minister and a Democrat-led coalition instead. The For Thais Party campaigned vigorously to bring back former members and partners. However, it was too late as Abhisit has secured enough support for the Premiership. Afterwards the party called for a national unity government in which all parties would be involved, with Snoh Thienthong of the Royalist People's Party as the new premier, however these efforts too failed. On the December 11, Worrawat Eua-apinyakul a PT member suggested that the party should push for a house dissolution, and therefore depriving the Democrats of a government. However, this effort too is doomed to fail as the President of the House of Representatives; Chai Chidchob spoke against the plan. On the same day The Nation Newspaper reported that MPs were offered up to 55 million Baht to defect to the PT in an attempt to stop Abhisit securing enough votes in order to be elected as the next Prime Minister.

On the December 15, 2008, the party nominated Pracha Promnok as the party's candidate for Prime Minister in the case of a further general election.
