Bangkok: "Chatchart" immediately hopped on a campaign truck - the Bangkok Flying Group focuses on meeting people in shopping malls and markets. Chatchart Sittipunt, a prominent figure in the upcoming elections, launched his campaign with an energetic parade featuring a white electric vehicle and a convoy of tuk-tuks. The campaign kicked off after Chatchart received his ballot number, with supporters holding signs that read "Vote 9" and "The City Creates Opportunities, Chatchart's Team Creates Hope." The parade began at Din Daeng Flats on Pracha Songkhro Road, making its way towards Victory Monument, engaging with the public along the route.
According to Thai News Agency, Mr. Chatchart engaged with the public by waving, distributing campaign leaflets, and conversing with constituents. The lively atmosphere was enhanced by music, drawing crowds who eagerly interacted and took photos with the candidate. The main strategy of Chatchart's campaign focuses on reaching out to communities while minimizing environmental impact by using electronic media and public transportation, such as the BTS Skytrain and MRT subway, for direct engagement with citizens.
In parallel, Mr. Phasapong Chaiwirinwanich, representing the "Bangkok Can Fly" group, commenced his campaign efforts alongside advisor Mr. Mongkolkitt Suksintharanon.

Mr. Mongkolkitt expressed his commitment to leveraging his expertise to boost the campaign's success. He voiced optimism that this election will witness a record turnout of young voters, which he believes will be pivotal for the "Bangkok Can Fly" team's success in the gubernatorial race.
