Bureaucratic reform first occurred in Thailand during the reign of King Rama V when the Thai civil service was divided into ministries and departments at the central and provincial levels. Since then, all governments have attempted to continuously reform the Thai bureaucracy which has significantly expanded. The size of the system and its deep-rooted problems led to a new round of bureaucratic reform in 2002 before another reform was initiated in 2014 as part of the government’s national reform campaign.
