The Socialist Front was a political coalition in Thailand, formed by leftwing parties in late 1956. [1] The main group in the coalition was the Economist Party, led by Thep Chotinuchit. [2] The other two constituents of the Socialist Front were the Free Democratic Party and the Hyde Park Movement Party. [3] Thep Chotinuch was the chairman of the Socialist Front. [4] The parliamentarians who founded the Socialist Front came from northeast Thailand. [5] The Socialist Front favoured a neutralist foreign policy, and called for Thai withdrawal from SEATO. [6]

In the 1975 general election the Socialist Front won ten seats, all of them from the northeast. In total the Socialist Front got 3.8 percent of the nationwide vote. [3]
