Three prime ministerial candidates from the Thai Sang Thai Party, accompanied by “Jinny,” took to central Siam to announce policies supporting people from the prenatal stage through old age. Meanwhile, Khun Ying Sudarat seeks the highest number of MPs, hoping to dismantle old-style politics that involve spending over ten billion baht only to lose the investment. She remains reserved about alliances and warns that parties declaring they won’t align with anyone should beware of ending up in a mix-up.
On 4 Jan 2026 GMT+7, Thai Sang Thai, led by its three prime ministerial candidates—Khun Ying Sudarat Keyuraphan, Mr. Phokin Pholkul, and Lt. Gen. Pradorn Phatthanathabutr—occupied the Siam area to unveil the policy “Caring for Thais from Womb to Old Age.” This aims to relieve Thais from hardships in daily life, enabling them to live happily and securely at every stage of life.
The policy package covers care from prenatal stages through old age, beginning with investing in cultivating skilled and virtuous Thais. Children from the womb until six years old will receive 2,000 baht monthly support. School-age children will receive free education up to a bachelor’s degree, with a reduced study period of 3–4 years. Upon entering the workforce, every Thai should have access to low-interest loans ranging from 10,000 to 100,000 baht to establish themselves.
For senior citizens, the party proposes a pension of 3,000 baht per month and an Upskill program to help elderly individuals maintain good health and return to work, thereby not becoming a burden to their children.
Lt. Gen. Pradorn also outlined four urgent policies of Thai Sang Thai: 1. Resolving the Thailand-Cambodia border situation; 2. Ending scams; 3. Eradicating corruption; and 4. Overcoming inequality alongside the people. He emphasized that this election is crucial as it represents a confrontation between white politics and gray politics, urging citizens to exercise their rights fully and support Thai Sang Thai.
When asked about the target number of MPs, Khun Ying Sudarat said that most media and citizens focus on big parties with wealthy backers and large political houses. Currently, the money flowing into single-district MP elections is between 70–100 million baht, mostly in unofficial funds. She stated that Thai Sang Thai wants to tell the public that if they vote the same way for big parties with wealthy backers, which invest tens of billions only to recoup their investments by exploiting the people, then why vote? This leaves citizens struggling as before. Today, Thai Sang Thai offers itself as a party that does not engage in corruption, with experience and proven management success. The backgrounds of the two candidates guarantee real results rather than empty rhetoric.
"Many may currently view Thai Sang Thai as a small party, but if the public agrees and votes for us in large numbers, we will have enough voices to serve the people and govern the country for sure. Please vote for us generously. We may be small, but we think big and act effectively. We are confident in our ability to succeed and ask for as many votes as the public can kindly give," she said.
When asked about expectations in Bangkok, where competition is mainly between the People's Party and the Democrat Party, Khun Ying Sudarat said that Thai Sang Thai hopes to compete everywhere and that the public will agree with them, doing their best and competing against themselves.
When asked about post-election alliances, Khun Ying Sudarat said that today is not an era of politics battling between dictatorship and democracy but one where political parties compete by presenting benefits to the people. She said she has yet to see if parties claiming they won’t partner with certain others will remain sincere and honest. However, she warned to beware that it might end in a mix-up and suggested waiting to see after the election.
