In 1995, Dr. Surakiart became Thailand ’ s youngest Finance Minister under Prime Minister Banharn Silapa-Archa.

After his tenure at the Finance Ministry, Surakiart went on to serve as Vice-Chairman of the Advisory Council on Economic and Foreign Affairs under Prime Minister Chavalit Yongchaiyudh until 1997.

In the late 1990s, Surakiart led several major Thai corporations through restructurings and bankruptcy proceedings, and founded and chaired a major Bangkok law firm.

Many other nations, including the members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations ( ASEAN ) had pledged to support Dr. Surakiart ’ s bid.

Most notably, the Asian Human Rights Commission campaigned against Surakiart on account of Thailand's policy toward Myanmar.

Opposition to Surakiart has been especially vocal among the Jayanama family of Thai diplomats.

In a mass rally in front of thousands of anti-Thaksin protesters, former ambassador to the UN Asda Jayanama noted " Because we have a weak foreign minister who responded to Thaksin as if he were his servant, we have been unable to solve any problems ".. Asda also claimed that Surakiart Sathirathai parked his car outside the official residence of UN secretary-general at night so he could see it.

Surakiart responded by accusing Asda of defaming him, and threatened to file a defamation suit if he didn't stop attacking him in public.
