The Bangkok Election Commission (EC) warns parliamentary candidates not to install campaign signs that block traffic or obstruct views, as many public complaints have reported clutter. Candidates are allowed to play music to introduce themselves and promote party policies but are prohibited from dancing along to the music.
On 29 December 2025 at the Bangkok Election Commission office, Acting Lt. Samphan Saengkamlert, Director of the Bangkok EC, addressed complaints about election law violations, stating that so far complaints concern campaigning before the official registration date, which is not illegal since election law permits campaigning from the dissolution of parliament until the day before election day. The EC has provided information to candidates and clarified permissible and prohibited actions during registration day, and has conducted ongoing public communications. Currently, no area or district poses particular concern as candidates fully understand the rules.
The Bangkok EC director added that on 3 January 2026 there will be a briefing for candidates and their campaign assistants to review election laws, focusing on two main topics: prohibited campaign activities and the preparation of candidates’ income and expense reports. This briefing will be held at Centra Life Hotel, Government Complex. Regarding campaign expenses following parliament dissolution, constituency candidates may spend approximately 1.9 million baht on campaigning.
At the same time, candidates for constituency parliamentary seats have also been reminded that when making campaign signs, they must not install them in a way that blocks traffic, as residents have begun complaining that the signs are cluttered and may obstruct the view. Campaigning within government offices is permitted, but candidates should not disrupt work or study time, as this would cause annoyance. Additionally, use of sound in the evenings, which is residents’ rest time, should be handled with care to avoid disturbing the public.
"Candidates who are singers or artists may compose songs related to themselves or their party policies as a form of self-introduction, but must be careful about organizing entertainment or festive events, such as involving musical instruments or additional performers, which may risk violating the law. They may play music from campaign vehicles but are not allowed to dance, perform, or have promotional models accompany them, as this would constitute entertainment events."
