administrative systems, high levels <strong>of</strong> education, high-income economics<br />

<strong>and</strong> absolute monarchy systems (4 in 5 countries).<br />

Consideration <strong>of</strong> the Thai setting shows the following: l<strong>and</strong> area<br />

ranking 49 th in the world, a population ranking 20th in the world, a<br />

population literacy rate <strong>of</strong> 92.4%, but a secondary education enrollment<br />

rate at 64% <strong>and</strong> an average learning rate <strong>of</strong> 56.6%. Although<br />

information accessibility rates low in Thail<strong>and</strong>, Thail<strong>and</strong>’s GDP ranks<br />

34th whereas the GDP per capita (Nominal) ranks 92 <strong>and</strong> the Human<br />

Development Index Ranks 78th. In addition, buying votes for sale<br />

during elections are difficult to deny, so Unicameralism is not suitable for<br />

Thail<strong>and</strong> in the near future <strong>and</strong> Thail<strong>and</strong> should continue to use<br />

With regard to the process <strong>of</strong> recruiting senators, the researchers<br />

believe that the same process should be used for all senate members in<br />

order to gain quality senators with knowledge <strong>and</strong> ability as suitable for<br />

respective senatorial roles <strong>and</strong> responsibilities. Thus, in order to form a<br />

link with the people, the researchers hold the belief that the same for all<br />

senators <strong>and</strong> the suitable process is found in the first steps <strong>of</strong> the<br />

searching process as set forth in the Constitution <strong>of</strong> 2007. Furthermore,<br />

one process that allowed the people be the final selectors involved<br />

holding nationwide elections should be used, <strong>and</strong> the Recruitment<br />

Committee should be improved to avoid overlapping benefits between<br />

the senators <strong>and</strong> the Recruitment Committee.
