Abstract

The need of providing concrete solutions to solving housing problems in Thailand led to the establishment of the National Housing Authority in 1973. The role of this public agency was undermined, however, by the government’s financial viability, while the private housing sector came to thrive. The financial liberalization and steady economic growth boosting private sector housing investments in response to greater housing demands of the urbanites may represent neoliberal transformation. This chapter contends that this notion is equivocal. An investigation of two public housing policies for low- and middle-income groups in Bangkok introduced during Thaksin’s regime in the 2000s reveals that housing populism supporting the legitimacy of the ruling political clout mediates Thailand’s housing development between the neoliberal influence and clientelism.

Other public housing institutions included the Housing Division launched in 1940 and the Housing Bureau in 1942 by the national government to resolve housing issues. These institutions were to be ‘aiding the population concerning their housing, employment, professional, and other problems with a view toward advancing their interests and wellbeing’ (Karnjanaprakorn and Bunnag 1978, p. 42). With regard to financial assistance, the Housing Welfare Bank (later the Government Housing Bank or GHB) was established under the Ministry of Finance in 1953.
