"Tae Mongkolkit" Prays "Lord Vessavana" At Wat Don Yai, lottery enthusiasts were excited as the golden jar draw matched the party's number, prompting them to try their luck for the 17 Jan 2026 lottery.
At 18:00 on 7 Jan 2026, Mr. Mongkolkit Suksintharanon, known as Tae Mongkolkit, Secretary-General of the New Alternative Party, number 10, along with the party's executive committee, visited to pay respects to Lord Vessavana at Wat Don Yai, Khlong 8, Lam Luk Ka Subdistrict, Lam Luk Ka District, Pathum Thani Province. They also distributed the party's policy leaflets to attendees at the temple's annual event, attracting significant public interest.
Meanwhile, Tae Mongkolkit tried drawing ping pong balls from the golden jar of Lord Vessavana and got the numbers 1 and 0, causing excitement among his team. Lottery enthusiasts did not miss the chance to note the numbers for this lottery round.
Mr. Mongkolkit said today he took the opportunity to pay respects to Lord Vessavana to pray for good health and for the New Alternative Party to become the government. He expressed his desire to oversee the Ministry of Interior because Thailand is still in conflict with Cambodia, which is backed by a major power, while Thailand's military capabilities are currently insufficient across all three branches.
Therefore, if he joins the government and oversees the Ministry of Defense, he plans to increase the military budget by 200 billion baht annually to purchase fighter jets, submarines, amphibious vehicles, and especially nuclear warheads, which he has mentioned before. Thailand needs these because if fighting Cambodia, which is supported by a nuclear-armed major power, Thailand would be unable to compete.
He also urged political parties not to cut the military budget, warning that if Thailand fights Cambodia, and foreign powers send aircraft and warships to assist Cambodia, Thailand would be unable to win.
Regarding the New Alternative Party's policies, if elected to government, the party plans to provide household capital of 36,000 baht, a monthly honorarium of 3,000 baht for veterans, 3,000 baht monthly elderly pensions, reduce electricity costs, support diesel prices at 30 baht per liter, and reduce gasoline and gasohol prices by at least 5 baht per liter from current prices. The party also aims to revolutionize agriculture by distributing quality rice seeds, organic production inputs, and sustainably reducing costs.
Therefore, the New Alternative Party requests just one party-list vote per household to enter government. Most importantly, the party will not join coalitions with parties that seek to overthrow the constitution, monarchy, or military, or that turn their allegiance away from Thailand toward Cambodia—whom he called traitors. He added that without the military, there would be no Thailand and no political parties to criticize the military as they do now.
