The two regiments were previously under the jurisdiction of the Royal Thai Army and the Defence Ministry. Piyabutr Saengkanokkul of the Future Forward party, who went against the majority vote, expressed the view that this approval might be in violation the Constitution and that the protection of the monarchy should be the duty of the Army.
