Thais United (Thai: รวมใจไทย, Ruam Jai Thai; also translated as United Thai Heart,[1] Thai Unity[2] and United Hearts Thai[3]) was a political party in Thailand founded on 26 June 2007. Its members included many well-known politicians, among them former deputy prime minister Somkid Jatusripitak (and 110 other former Thai Rak Thai party executives), former Democrat Party secretary-general Pradit Pattaraprasit, former Bangkok governor Bhichit Rattakul, former Thai Rak Thai member Pravich Rattanapian, former Stock of Exchange president Kittiratt Na-Ranong, former Mahachon Party leader Anek Laothamatas, Chaianan Samudavanija (a staunch critic of former premier Thaksin Shinawatra) and economics lecturer Somjai Phagaphasvivat.
