The present study was carried out with three objectives 1) To study the political and economic implications of past state administration acts; 2) To study the political and economic implications of current state administration act; 3) To give suggestions for future state administration act formation. It is observed that Globalization affects Thailand, resulting in the state administration's actions having political and economic implications for the Southern Border Provinces. There is an ongoing effort to propose a constitutional amendment that is expected to impact the state administration model in Thailand. According to the current constitution, any amendment to the constitution must undergo a referendum. According to the respondents, 579 Yala Rajabhat University students and 27 experts, the majority opinion that all three forms of public administration namely Central, Provincial, and local should not be changed. Currently, the existing format is functioning effectively but requires some urgent improvements based on upholding the principle of Thailand as an indivisible kingdom, honoring and treating Thailand's monarchy. The study recommended the government on many issues such as: enhancing law enforcement; Government and officials should focus on preventing and solving deficiencies in duty; expediting the elimination of redundant tasks; distributing responsibilities and budgets more efficiently; ensuring fair access and convenience for the people; and actively combating and eradicating corruption.
