 "“Whenever the Monarch is to not reside in the Kingdom or is to be unable to handle His royal burdens for whatever reason, it is permissible for Him to appoint any or no one as His Regent, and the President of the National Assembly shall countersign the appointment. And once this section has been complied with, the provisions of sections 18, 19, and 20 of the Constitution of the Kingdom of Thailand, 2550 Buddhist Era, shall become inapplicable.”"

The provisions of paragraph 11 of section 39/1 of the Constitution of the Kingdom of Thailand (Interim), 2557 Buddhist Era, which have been amended by the Amendment to the Constitution of the Kingdom of Thailand (Interim), 2557 Buddhist Era, (No 2), 2559 Buddhist Era, shall be repealed and replaced by the following provisions:

"“Once the Prime Minister has brought and presented the draft constitution [to the Monarch] according to paragraph 9 in conjunction with paragraph 10, if there happens to be an event in which the Monarch gives, within ninety days, observations that any matters should be amended, the Prime Minister shall request His royal permission to take the draft constitution back in order to amend only the issues according to those observations and the related issues and to amend the preamble of the draft constitution in compliance therewith. Then the Prime Minister shall bring and present the amended draft constitution to [the Monarch] again within thirty days from the day he receives [the draft constitution] back from [the Monarch] as requested. Once the Prime Minister has brought and presented the amended draft constitution to [the Monarch] and [the Monarch] has signed it, it shall be published in the Royal Gazette and come into force, provided that it be also countersigned by the Prime Minister. In the event that the Monarch disapproves the draft constitution or amended draft constitution and gives it back, or when He fails to give it back within ninety days from the day the Prime Minister brings and presents [to Him] the draft constitution or amended draft constitution, as the case may be, the draft constitution or amended draft constitution shall lapse.”"
