Thawi Bunyaket (also spelt Thawee Bunyaget; Thai: ทวี บุณยเกตุ, pronounced [tʰā.wīː būn.jā.kèːt]; 10 November 1904 – 3 November 1971) was a Thai politician and the prime minister of Thailand for a short time from 31 August 1945, following the resignation of Khuang Aphaiwong until his resignation, to his own resignation on 17 September 1945.

Early life and education

[edit]

After studying at the King's College, University of Cambridge and the École nationale supérieure d'Agronomie de Grignon (France), he started to work as a government official at the Ministry of Agriculture.[1]

Political careers

[edit]

On 24 June 1932 he joined the coup group of the 1932 coup, the People's Party. He became secretary general in the cabinet of Field Marshal Phibunsongkhram, and Minister of Education in the cabinet of Khuang Aphaiwong. When Khuang resigned directly after the end of World War II, he was elected as prime minister on 31 August 1945 and formed the 12th Thai administration. However he was only chosen because the preferred candidate Seni Pramoj, chief of the Free Thai Movement, wasn't available. Seventeen days after his election, on 17 September, he resigned to free the post for Seni Pramoj.

Later he became President of the Constitutional Drafting Committee in the government of Field Marshal Sarit Thanarat.
