In the final stretch of the 2026 election, the Thai Khao Mai Party, led by Dr. Ae Suchatvee, Khun Ying Kanya, and Kongkiat, dispersed to campaign widely across Bangkok, emphasizing education policies and solutions to recurring floods.
On 3 Feb 2026 GMT+7, reporters noted that throughout the day, the Thai Khao Mai Party actively campaigned in the final days before the 8 Feb 2026 parliamentary election. Starting at 7:00 a.m., Mr. Suchatvee Suwansawat (Dr. Ae), party leader and prime ministerial candidate, along with Mr. Chotipong Sansoen, candidate for Bangkok's 6th district (number 1), canvassed at Huai Khwang and Din Daeng markets amid lively crowds. Residents and supporters warmly greeted, spoke with, and took photos with Dr. Ae along the route. After campaigning, Mr. Suchatvee said he received very positive responses. Market vendors recognized him and inquired about the hospital he helped establish and the long-awaited flood problem. Bangkok residents know well that the city’s critical issue is repeated flooding. The Thai Khao Mai Party clearly pledges to stop these recurring floods. If floods cannot be resolved, Bangkok risks being submerged. The party proposes building a coastal defense barrier at the Chao Phraya River mouth to permanently prevent flooding.
Later, Mr. Suchatvee campaigned near schools, where parents expressed their support and inquired about policies, hoping their children could learn English, AI, and coding for free. They noted education costs are a heavy burden, leading to debt. Mr. Suchatvee emphasized this should not continue. The Thai Khao Mai Party insists education must develop people, not debt.
Reporters added that besides Mr. Suchatvee’s campaign, other party leaders spread out across various areas to introduce themselves and present policies. Khun Ying Kanya Sophonpanich, prime ministerial candidate and party chair, campaigned with candidates for Bangkok’s 18th and 20th districts in Nong Chok district, receiving warm welcomes. Residents expressed a desire for the party to solve persistent flood problems, fearing Bangkok might flood again. They also appreciated the education policies and believed the party could truly address recurrent flooding.
Meanwhile, Mr. Kongkiat Kornsut, Thai Khao Mai Party secretary-general, and his team campaigned in Phra Nakhon, Dusit, Pom Prap, Samphanthawong, and Bang Rak districts. Deputy party leader Mr. Kitti Wongkulap campaigned in Thonburi, Khlong San, Bang Kho Laem, and Phra Pradaeng. Deputy leader Mr. Warawit Kamphu Na Ayutthaya canvassed in Khlong Sam Wa district, and Mr. Chakraphan Pornnimit campaigned in Bangkok Noi district. They engaged with residents, listening to economic concerns and needs, while promoting party policies and candidate number 49.
Reporters also quoted Mr. Suchatvee on expectations for the final campaign phase regarding the number of parliamentary seats. He expressed hope, stating the party practices professional politics aiming to solve problems without adding to domestic political conflict. He noted Thailand faces crises on many fronts and asked rhetorically where one would start if they were prime minister. He believes education and human development must be the foundation, as they determine Thailand’s future. Without competitive education, poverty cannot be solved nor a new economy created. The key focus of the 8 Feb 2026 election is education, urging voters to lay a new foundation for Thailand.
Mr. Suchatvee also addressed border security issues, describing them as critical national concerns. The Thai Khao Mai Party firmly supports the military, advocating for technological advantages, as today’s winner is the one with superior technology. Regarding border issues, diplomacy is essential. The party wants the international community to see that Thailand not only defends sovereignty but also combats Cambodian scammers, thus aiding the global effort. Another important point is that over 100,000 families displaced along the border face hardship. Doctors, teachers, nurses, and volunteers need compensation to sustain their efforts, and children in refugee centers must have access to education.
Asked about early voting outside home districts on 1 Feb 2026 and reported issues, Mr. Suchatvee acknowledged many problems occurred, as widely reported. He urged that on 8 Feb, everything must be ready to avoid further complications. He sent encouragement to the Election Commission, acknowledging their hard work but noting lessons learned from 1 Feb’s issues. He called for the election to be conducted fairly and transparently, free from technical problems.
