The Senate Secretariat has issued a notice for a special Senate meeting scheduled for October 1, 2026. This follows the previous cancellation of sessions on September 28-29, 2026, announced by Senate President Mongkol Surasajja, due to severe flooding in Bangkok and its vicinity which was declared a disaster zone, alongside a Cabinet resolution for special holidays.
For the upcoming special session, the Secretariat has outlined the official agenda, which includes live questioning sessions, general inquiries, and a critical legislative item.

The primary legislative focus is the Bankruptcy Act (No…) B.E… draft, which has already been thoroughly reviewed and finalized by a joint committee representing both houses of parliament.
The joint committee review is a vital phase in Thailand's legislative process, harmonizing discrepancies between the House of Representatives and the Senate. If the Senate ultimately votes against adopting the joint committee's report, the legislation faces a mandatory 180-day freeze, after which the House of Representatives may reconsider and reaffirm the bill under specific constitutional provisions.
