Why Does the SSO Board Matter So Much?

Most people don't realize that the SSO Board โ€” Workers' Representatives hold enormous power over the pension money deducted from every paycheck. This board decides investment returns, the เธฟ2 trillion fund's portfolio, pension calculation formulas, and all welfare policies affecting every insured worker in Thailand.

Historically, the SSO Board has been dominated by government and employer representatives with conflicting interests. Workers' faction seats have often gone to groups without genuine grassroots backing. This election is the chance for real workers to send someone who truly represents them into the boardroom.

"For 6 years we fought from outside. Now we take it inside."

โ€” Boon Arayapon (Dr. Boon)

6 Reasons to Vote for Dr. Boon

01
Genuine Expertise โ€” Law AND Numbers
Dr. Boon holds a DVM from Chulalongkorn University (Honours) and an LLB from Ramkhamhaeng University. He's not a politician โ€” he's someone who reads labour court rulings, analyses Royal Gazette data, and translates complex pension law into plain language that millions can understand.
02
Real Results โ€” Not Just Promises
Supreme Court Ruling 3307/2567, which permanently locked Section 33 pension rights, gained traction partly through Dr. Boon's tireless public education campaign. His free 8-language SSO gratuity calculator with tens of thousands of monthly users is another measurable outcome.
03
Clear Policy โ€” Minimum Pension 10,000 THB
Dr. Boon was the first to propose a minimum monthly pension of 10,000 THB for fully-contributing workers, alongside the Best60M formula โ€” using the best 60 months of earnings to calculate pension instead of the CARE formula that could slash Section 33 pensions by up to 40%.
04
Courage to Oppose โ€” #StopCARE
When the previous SSO Board proposed the CARE formula that would reduce pensions, Dr. Boon didn't stay silent. He united 5 labour leaders in a coordinated opposition campaign that forced the government to reconsider. This is exactly how he will act inside the board.
05
No Vested Interests โ€” Power from the People
Unlike candidates backed by corporations or political parties, Dr. Boon runs on the strength of his grassroots network โ€” over 103K Facebook followers, 145K TikTok followers, and a LINE OA community of 800+ active members. Fully transparent and accountable.
06
Official SSO Network โ€” Ready to Work Immediately
Approved as an official SSO Network Agent, Code 10120071, under Bangkok Area 12 on 10 April 2026. The SSO itself has verified his credibility. If elected, he can start delivering on day one.
