Why a Veterinarian and Lawyer?
Effective SSO Board membership requires two things simultaneously: understanding the real pain experienced by contributors, and understanding the legal mechanisms available to fix it.
As a veterinarian (D.V.M.), Dr. Boon understands diagnosis from symptoms — not from theory. As a lawyer (LL.B.), he understands which legal tools to deploy once the problem is identified. And as a Section 39 contributor himself, he is not speaking about this crisis from a distance.
Dr. Boon is not an academic who studied pension systems. He is the person who built the evidentiary record — gathering 1,271 affected contributors, documenting their pension amounts, obtaining Supreme Court Ruling 3307/2567 as legal validation, and organizing a coordinated national march on the Lawyers Council. His candidacy is grounded in six years of operational proof, not campaign promises.
Six Years That Built the Case
A Three-Point Platform — Specific and Measurable
Oppose the CARE formula and push for adoption of FAE-60, which calculates pension on actual earnings from the final 60 months of contributions. Already validated by Supreme Court Ruling 3307/2567.
#FAE60 #Dika3307Workers who have contributed for 15+ years must receive a pension sufficient to live on — not ฿1,666/month that falls 55% below the international poverty line. This requires actuarial recalculation, not new spending.
#MinimumPension #LivingWageThe right to choose FAE-60 / the right to reclaim the pension differential already lost / the right to borrow against one's own contributions in emergencies. These are not new entitlements — they are corrections of existing unlawful calculations.
#ThreeAsks #PensionRightsWhy This Election Matters
The SSO Board has direct authority to propose and approve the pension calculation formula. If the incoming board endorses CARE, the scenario documented in Part 2 — ฿1,032/month after 23 years — will continue for every future retiree in Thailand.
If the board endorses FAE-60, it restores the actuarial promise under which 25 million Thai workers made their contributions.
where decisions about our money are made —
who will be?
Part 1 — Trust matters more than policy documents.
Part 2 — FAE-60 is the fair, legally validated alternative to CARE.
Part 3 — Dr. Boon Arayapon has spent six years proving both, and is now running to act on them from within the institution that decides them.
The SSO Board election in late 2026 is the democratic mechanism by which Thailand's 25 million enrolled workers can put that record to a vote.
