Public favorite Ingfa Waraha cleared a busy schedule to come and cast her vote.Voting rights.At polling station 69 at Wacharaphon, she said this election is especially significant because it purely reflects the people's voice. She emphasized that the future of the children depends on the pen and encouraged Thais to try new choices if the old ones have consistently disappointed.
Ingfa said, "I prioritized voting first and cleared my schedule for this because it’s truly important. As everyone knows, this time the people's voice is very loud, so it's crucial. I want to set an example, starting from my fan club, by waking up early to exercise our voting rights.Voting rights.Using our own voice."
Did you research or prepare before choosing your preferred candidate?
"Yes, I have. I've followed several parties for years and looked at new policies that address the needs of the younger generation, including those related to the entertainment industry."
Where did you gather information to make your decision?
"Mostly from social media. I've seen some and chose parties that align with my views."
How do you feel about the lively atmosphere and the large turnout this morning?
"This is the first time I’ve experienced traffic jams coming here, but I don’t mind. This traffic shows how important it is. The vote counting doesn’t involve senators. The future of Thailand is in everyone’s hands. The party we choose reflects the people's voice. It’s great to see both young people and elders coming together to exercise their voting rights.Voting rights.Using their own voice is a good thing."
What changes would you like to see after this?
"There are many. The younger generation sees old problems. First, we don’t need to fix or change things that are too distant or invisible. We should address long-standing issues that haven’t improved. The first is electricity and water costs. We’ve seen short-term measures to reduce living expenses, but no stable, long-term solutions to lower costs or energy use. People in rural areas hear their mothers complain every month. They use little electricity, but their bills are still quite high.
Or the condos around us face problems that haven’t been solved long-term. Personally, I want to see improvements in education. Now, in the AI era, the new generation will take over. There should be support so they can develop skills in technology and AI, earn income, and use it positively. But so far, nothing concrete has emerged."
How do you want Thailand to move forward, or what message would you like to send to the incoming administration?
"I want them to focus on problems affecting all sectors of the people. They shouldn’t look at overly broad issues that can’t be realistically solved. Sometimes promises give false hope. As a citizen, I want to see real changes in daily problems. In the past, changes seemed possible but only lasted briefly. I want a government that can provide long-term solutions to living costs, education, and utility bills. This affects the economy, which is currently quite sluggish and unstable at the grassroots level."
An invitation for citizens to vote?
"The future shape of Thailand depends on our voices today. I believe many have been waiting to exercise their voting rights.Voting rights.The vote counting doesn’t come from senators but directly from us. It affects not only us but also our children’s future, who will live here dealing with education, living conditions,living costs,and the economy. It all impacts our lives. So it’s worth sacrificing a bit of time to brave traffic and exercisevoting rights.Using your own voice today is a sacrifice for a better long-term future."
What would you like to say to those politicians who break their campaign promises and disappoint Thai citizens?
"We should try choosing something new if the old ways never changed or only changed briefly. Try something new that hasn't had a chance to fully act, to see real change. This might better suit the current generation and young people."
