"Audiya Pothak" left peacefully.
"Close the life of the administrator, the servant of the land," audition, "leave peacefully, leave a legacy of educational-economic thought."
Political circles and senior civil servants again lost their dignitaries when Audiya Pothaek, the former Minister of Education and the former Minister of Commerce, made a peaceful attack on the morning of March 28, 2026.
The departure was revealed by his son, Pishon Potharamic, who posted a message on his personal page stating:
"7.28 am: March 28, 2026, Father, leave peacefully. All teachings, all orders are broken."
With the Royal Water Ceremony attached to the funeral for those close and respected to mourn.
Life and work path
Audiya Pothaek is considered to be a very experienced administrator who played a role in both the public and private sectors, particularly during his tenure as Minister of Education, a period in which he pushed for policies on improving the quality of education, raising school standards and more effective management of the education system.
Later in his role as Minister of Commerce, he made significant contributions to driving economic, trade and export policies amid a challenging economic context, emphasizing creating opportunities for the Thai business sector to compete on the global stage.
In addition to his political role, he was known as a visionary, decision-making and focused administrator on "discipline-responsibility," which became a key think-tank passed on to later generations.
Although the departure of Audiya Pothaek will grieve the family and those who have worked, what remains is the ideas and teachings reflected through the words of his sons who insist on fulfilling the will of the father.
On the other hand, this loss also reflects the departure of an "older generation of political services" who grew up with a traditional bureaucracy but were memorably able to adapt and play a role in the country's transition era.
Audiya Pothaek's life may be over, but his role as "policy direction maker" and "concept transmitter" remains an important vestige in Thai administrative history.
And sometimes... the most valuable legacy may not be position or power.
But it is the "teaching" that people still choose to follow.
