The purpose of this study was to review the condition for reforming Thailand to become a welfare state and also to collect perspectives of welfare system among 400 respondents using questionnaire. The study revealed that samples 74.8% are moderately satisfied the social welfare provided by government within 5 years. Samples 96.3% want more social welfare from government and 95% want Thailand to become a welfare state. Samples 84.3% desire to pay more to help finance government expenditure for providing welfare and the 42.5% of agreed people with reforming desire to pay 5% of their income. Samples 71.5% are facing the standard of living problem such as poverty, inequalities and high cost of living. Also, samples 65.5% want in-cash benefit social welfare assistance from government. Consequently, this research is a good guideline for government to develop the policy so as to improve the citizen’s living standard and develop the country in the future
