Parit Wacharasindhu (Thai: พริษฐ์ วัชรสินธุ; born 10 December 1992), nicknamed Itim (Thai: ไอติม) is a Thai politician who currently serves as a party-list member of the Thai House of Representatives. He is also the current Spokesperson of the Move Forward Party.
Parit was educated in the United Kingdom. He first entered politics as a candidate for the House of Representatives under the Democrat Party but later resigned after the Democrats joined a coalition led by the military-backed Palang Pracharath Party in the 2019 Thai general election.[1] Since his resignation, he started an education company called Startdee, which he described as an affordable and high-quality educational platform.[2] He then joined the Move Forward Party as the party's campaign manager on 30 April 2022.[3]
