Anyone got a map/shapefile/descriptive list of Thai FPTP boundaries for the seats used at the 2019 Election? Doesnt matter whether it's in Thai or not. Thailand is where my mother is from, we're there currently visiting our family. Considering I know little about Thai psephology, I thought I ought to start learning!

Thank you.

You might have better luck asking on International Elections.

The first link on that page appears to have administrative boundaries.

The contact on that page may also be useful.

The Wikipedia page "2019 Thai parliament" has a description of the constituencies. It would likely help to have some familiarity with Thai administrative geography.

The Election Commission of Thailand drew the boundaries. I looked around a bit on their web site, but it would be an advantage to be able to read Thai. Some of the headings use images, which Chrome can not handle (I would use Chrome for a browser since it has translation built in). I did find a link to "Acquiring a Senator" which I had always wanted to do.

Great! I have enough familiarity with the administrative boundaries (provinces, amphoes etc.) . I'm in Thailand rn but once I get access to a computer I'll follow your advice. Thanks for your help!
