General elections were held in Siam on 15 November 1933 to elect 78 of the 156 members of the House of Representatives, with the other 78 appointed by the King.[1][2] The elections were held on an indirect basis, with voters electing sub-district representatives between 10 October and 15 November, and the representatives then electing members of parliament on 16 November.[2]

At the time there were no political parties,[3] so all candidates ran as independents. Voter turnout was 41%.[4]
