The Parliament House of Thailand (Thai: อาคารรัฐสภาไทย) was a building which housed the National Assembly, the legislative branch of the Government of Thailand from 1974 to 2018. The legislature is a bicameral body, consisting of two chambers: the upper house (the Senate of Thailand), and the lower house (the House of Representatives of Thailand). The Parliament House of Thailand is in the Dusit District of the capital, Bangkok.[2] In 2019 the legislature moved into a new building named the Sappaya-Sapasathan, which became the new parliament house.
