Supachot Chaiyasat (Thai: ศุภโชติ ไชยสัจ) is a Thai politician and Member of Parliament for the People's Party.[1]
Early life and education
[edit]Supachot graduated from the University of Glasgow with an MSc. in Sustainable Energy in 2019.[2]
Career
[edit]In August 2025, Supachot was among three People's Party MPs sued for defamation by energy company Gulf Development, along with party leader Natthaphong Ruengpanyawut and Woraphop Viriyaroj.[3] Gulf Development is demanding compensation of 100 million Baht from each defendant.[3]
The lawsuit stems from a no-confidence debate where Supachot advocated increasing transparency regarding the Thai government's purchase of energy, citing high prices for consumers.[4][5]
