Prasertsuwan was first elected to the national House of Representatives in 1957 and won election to the House for 10 consecutive elections from 1957 to 1996.^[2] He served as Speaker of the House of Representatives of Thailand from 1995 to 1996.^[2] He is credited with persuading Banharn Silpa-archa, the former Prime Minister of Thailand from 1995 to 1996, to enter politics.^[2]

In 1981, Prasertsuwan was appointed Deputy Agriculture and Cooperative Minister in a government of Prime Minister Prem Tinsulanonda to replace the late Pol Col Krit Sangkhasap, who had died in a 1981 helicopter accident in Chiang Mai while in office.^[2] Chatichai Choonhavan, the Prime Minister from 1988 to 1991, also appointed Prasertsuwan as his Office Minister and Deputy Prime Minister during his government.^[2]

In 1997, he was named to the rank of major general in a special case.^[2]
