Thongchai was an early supporter of Thaksin Shinawatra and called for general support from the civil society in 2001.[1]
In February 2006, he was selected as one of the five leaders of the People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD), the group that launched a major campaign demanding Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra resign. The PAD supported a coup d'état by the royally-supported military on 19 September 2006.[2]
In September 2008, Thongchai advocated a state-sponsored scheme of early childhood character education and development, which would serve to indoctrinate children younger than three years in the morals and ethics of "Thainess".[3]
As of 7 October 2009, he serves as an advisor to the New Politics Party.[4]
