He has been active since he was a college student, at the time of which he held the position of the Secretary of the University Student Federation of Thailand. He is also an ex-member of the Council of Socio-economic Consultants of Thailand, and Committee for Democratic Advocacy of Thailand, and the Children's Foundation of Thailand.

In September 2008, Thongchai advocated for a state-sponsored scheme of early childhood Character education and development, which would serve to indoctrinate children younger than three years old in the morals and ethics of "Thainess"[2]
