Cabinet approved a freeze on new civil-service posts in all cases and will phase out 11 support job titles (e.g. clerks, librarians, photographers, communications officers, but not news announcers) as current holders retire, from fiscal 2027. Government offices will use other hiring arrangements or outsourcing instead. For a Thai SME this matters mainly if you sell services to government agencies: expect slower public procurement of in-house-style support work and more outsourced or contracted service demand. No direct change to your own staffing, tax or costs.
