The atmosphere was lively. Mr. Natthapong went door-to-door greeting residents warmly, shared the party's policies, and urged people to vote on 8 February 2026.
He also asked voters to remember number 46 to boost the party-list votes for the People's Party. At one point, Mr. Natthapong told the people that choosing them this time would not be a disappointment, emphasizing that this election would not involve senators voting, so the prime minister would truly come from the people.
At Pichai Market, residents were excited by the arrival of leader Theng; many requested handshakes and selfies. Some said it was a holiday, but upon seeing live coverage by the media of Mr. Natthapong walking in their neighborhood, they came out in large numbers to show support.

Adding a colorful moment to the campaign, Mr. Natthapong visited a traditional Thai dessert shop called Theng, took a photo with the shop sign, bringing smiles to the media. He bought some desserts to take away and also greeted a fruit vendor selling oranges. The owner offered him an orange, which he tasted, peeling and eating it in front of everyone, commenting that the orange was sweet and delicious before continuing his campaign. Afterwards, he boarded a campaign vehicle with loudspeakers to campaign in Muang Thong Thani, during which he said, "Nonthaburi must have no gray area; Nonthaburi won't tolerate, Nonthaburi won't waver, we are serious." Passing motorists waved their hands to encourage him.
