Abstract : The public sphere is the core of deliberative democracy that seeks to address the shortcomings of representative democracy. It lies between the state and society, helping to create a balance between stability and social change. It serves as a platform that opens opportunities for discussion, debates on public issues, or scrutiny of the government‘s work. It is a space for political decision-making that utilizes collective reasoning from all sectors to produce outcomes based on the common good.In the principles of deliberative democracy, for the public sphere to succeed, it requires the cultivation of active citizens and a collective civic life. The form of participation in the public sphere is when the public or civil society sectors come together to analyze, exchange ideas, and engage in dialogue to propose their own ideas in local policy-making. Therefore, the development of Thai democracy must rely on the strength of the grassroots of Thai society. This involves the mobilization of citizens within communities to enhance bargaining power with the state sector, as well as serving as a mechanism for monitoring and scrutinizing the work of both Government and Bureaucracy. These characteristics are what will lead to the creation of ―Thai Identity Democracy‖. Keywords - Public sphere, Thai identity democracy, Deliberative democracy, Democratic development, Strong community.
