Yotsanan spoke in Thoeng District, appealing to northern people to elect a northerner as prime minister. He noted that many parties focus on attacks in the final stretch, but urged the public to listen to the policies. Meanwhile, Julpan live-streamed on the party's Facebook page, emphasizing that elections are not about pointing fingers at who is patriotic or not.
At 09:20 on 31 January 2026, at Plong Wittayakom School in Thoeng District, Chiang Rai Province, Mr. Yotsanan Wongsawat, Pheu Thai Party's prime ministerial candidate, together with Mr. Julpan Amornwiwat, party leader and prime ministerial candidate, and Mr. Nattawut Saiyokuea, Pheu Thai campaign assistant, visited to support Mr. Therdchat Chaipong, candidate for Chiang Rai constituency 5, number 1, and Mr. Sanga Prommuang, candidate for constituency 7, number 8. The crowd filled the lawn in front of the school to hear the speeches. Upon Yotsanan's arrival, people rushed to take photos, kissed him, and presented garlands made from fermented herbal eggs, long beans, bananas, and crispy pork rinds.
Yotsanan said during his speech that he was reporting in as a northerner asking for a chance to serve the people of the north. He asked for votes for Mr. Therdchat. He noted that many parties are attacking in the final week, but the important thing is to listen to those discussing policies. The factor holding back people's quality of life is debt. He promised to restore fairness and wipe out the entire debt system to enable a fresh start. Regarding farmers, he would work to fix prices for fruits like oranges, pomelos, and longans by creating government demand and exploring foreign markets. Good sales and profits would raise living standards. He also planned to address overlapping land and forest issues, increase the value of herbs and flowers, and promote tourism. To improve declining tourism caused by dangerous mountain roads, he vowed to improve those roads. On drugs, once in office, he would have local authorities scan areas to identify users for treatment, then crack down on producers and traffickers. Illegal border crossings would be closed. For weapons, he planned to enhance security using satellite surveillance. As a scientist, he would manage these matters for the people. All volunteers must be safe. Since drug issues link to gray capital scammers, a digital government would track and systematically address such funds.
He urged undecided voters to examine the policies that address their lives' needs.
The previous night (30 January), Yotsanan and Julpan jointly live-streamed on Pheu Thai Party's Facebook page to communicate policies with citizens. Yotsanan mentioned election polls showing many people remain undecided about which party to support. He said voters should focus on policies rather than party names, reflecting on what they want and how they wish the country to progress. Those interested in Pheu Thai's policies could visit the party's YouTube channel for engaging policy videos, or try policy communication games available on the party's website.
"I encourage everyone to study the policies carefully and, most importantly, ask yourself if it feels right. If it does, then it is your right to decide."
Julpan emphasized that elections are not about pointing fingers at who is patriotic or not.
Julpan criticized a political party's campaign approach that tries to frame the choice as between patriotic and unpatriotic parties. He said history has shown such labeling—referring to parties as gods or demons—and the practice of judging who is good or bad.
"Ask me, and I’d say I’m the best in the world. Every party claims to be right and good. We should not believe all of that because everyone is human. People have emotions—love, greed, anger, delusion. That is the truth. Don’t think anyone is perfect or never makes mistakes. Mistakes happen, so don’t blame, point fingers, or stigmatize others, causing division over who is patriotic or not, black or white."
Julpan continued that elections should start with policies. Voters should review all parties’ policies and choose what best fits their lives. While he hopes people will choose Pheu Thai, ultimately, the decision is up to the voters.
"Politics is about shaping the future and the country’s direction. Sometimes, clouds obscure the substance of elections—the policies. Some parties’ policies remain unclear because they focus only on finger-pointing. Every party must address gray or black corruption, but the key is not about claiming to be the best. When I took the stage, I never claimed Pheu Thai was number one because what matters is building mechanisms and systems to move the country forward. I assure you, anyone engaging in corruption or wrongdoing will not succeed because the systems we create will prevent those problems."
