Direk Kounsamakom — Fri, 22 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0700

The study of law in Thai higher education institutions is founded on the study of jurisprudence. However, in recent years, jurisprudence has been increasingly marginalized. Some institutions have made it an elective course, while others have even eliminated it altogether. The content of jurisprudence courses in Thailand typically focuses on Western philosophy, examining the ideas of various thinkers and debating the merits of their theories. Law students often simply memorize these theories just to pass their exams. This article seeks to present the principles and concepts of the law as articulated by the Supreme Patriarch of Thailand, Somdet Phra Buddhaghosacariya (P.A.Payutto), through his Dharma Narratives. These concepts will then be analyzed and compared to Western legal philosophy, opening up a new perspective on the law and providing a foundation for basic legal knowledge.

This is because the Constitution is a body of basic laws and a main legal framework that establishes the basic structure of the state, the rights and freedoms of the individuals in each nation. Students’ understanding and knowledge of the Constitution is of utmost importance in promoting an in-depth comprehension of the state’s jurisprudence and governance. Thus, students are required to study the origins of basic principles of constitutional law, and the history of the development and changes of the Constitution, and establish judicial order in the state’s government in accordance with the Rule of Law, which determines rules and regulations for living in society.

Designing the teaching of constitutional law or the constitution can be done in diverse patterns, for instance, explaining legal principles and theory, creating realistic legal situations, and studying social and legal impacts related to the Constitution. In addition, adapting legal principles to various situations that arise in everyday life, students can apply them in real life and future work.

The Constitution of the Kingdom of Thailand B.E. 2560 (2017), we will find that there are important legal provisions that every individual, as a citizen of the country, is required to know to use them to protect their own rights and duties. Therefore, if teaching constitutional law to students of each program are done by higher education institutions, it will deliver and promote the understanding of important contents and principles of the Constitution, which is the supreme law of the Kingdom of Thailand and stipulated to be the basic laws to protect individual rights which will lead to the development of democracy in Thailand correctly and sustainably."

Surachai Dechpong, Chutipong Somsap — Fri, 22 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0700

The purpose of this research was to study the legal framework of the labor protection law, the social security law and the health insurance law concerning the employment of mature age employees. This research also wanted to find out what mature age employees, employers who are juristic persons, health insurance companies and administrative agencies’ opinions are on terms and conditions of employment, regarding whether or not mature age employees should be eligible for the social security or to be insured with a private health insurance company. The participants were mature age employees of private universities and private vocational education institutions in Chiang Mai province. The research instruments used in collecting the data were documents, questionnaires and group discussions. The data was analyzed, classified and summarized by content analysis. The quantitative data is presented using descriptive statistics. The results of the study revealed that mature age employees are not protected by The Labor Protection Act of 1998 and The Social Security Act of 1990. As a result of that, mature age employees don’t receive the health insurance benefits from the social welfare. In some cases mature age employees are eligible for social security, according to terms and conditions of The Social Security Act of 1990. Mature age employees have to pay contributions in full. If mature age employees are required to buy private health insurance, the insurance premium is often too high for the employees to afford.

Therefore, this research would recommend that mature age employees should be protected by The Labor Protection of 1998. In addition, The Social Security Act of 1990 should be amended to allow mature age employees to be insured and the contributions would be paid by the employers and the government. There should be a special law to control the rates of the insurance premium.
