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 People's 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. Since his resignation, he started an education company called Startdee, which he described as an affordable and high-quality educational platform. He then joined the Move Forward Party as the party's campaign manager on 30 April 2022.
