Anutin campaigned at Phra Nang Klao morning market, cycling through while vendors continuously asked about the 'Half-Half' subsidy program. He said he would exchange his achievements for votes, dismissed Mark's warning to Bangkok about the blue party gaining the orange party's seats, and expressed confidence there would be no border incidents and that the election on 8 February would proceed as planned.
At 06:30 on 3 February 2026, at Phra Nang Klao morning market in Nonthaburi province, Anutin Charnvirakul, leader of the Bhumjaithai Party, visited to support Kanyaporn Kaewthip, the party's candidate for Nonthaburi's 1st district. Also campaigning were Chalermphon Niyomsin, candidate for district 2; Siripin Intraprasert, candidate for district 3; and Adun Jankaew, candidate for district 8, all from Bhumjaithai Party.
Anutin greeted vendors and shoppers throughout the market. Vendors repeatedly asked about the 'Half-Half Plus' program, to which he replied, "100 percent." One vendor expressed happiness at meeting him and joked, "My child really likes you, Anutin Shinawatra," making Anutin laugh and respond, "That's auspicious." Another vendor said, "My heart is with you 100 percent," to which Anutin replied, "Not 100, number 37." An elderly person asked for a photo and requested an increase in the elderly subsidy to 1,000–2,000 baht, saying 600 baht was too little and that they would vote if increased. Anutin replied, "That can be done, but it depends on the budget." Afterwards, Anutin got on a bicycle with a campaign sign showing his picture and number 37, with Kanyaporn riding as a passenger, and cycled around the area.
Anutin expressed confidence about Nonthaburi, saying the visit was well received. People approached him with encouragement, expressing appreciation for the government's work. Some recalled his time as Minister of Public Health living in Nonthaburi for over five years, noting familiarity with local issues needing resolution. Regarding voter base, he said candidates are working fully and are locals themselves. He emphasized not asking for votes but exchanging achievements, confidence, and trust. If these are built, people will vote for them naturally.
Dismisses Mark's warning to Bangkok about blue party gaining orange party's seats.
Asked about Bhumjaithai's momentum in Bangkok following Democrat Party leader Abhisit Vejjajiva's remarks that if the blue party wins, election results in Bangkok will remain unchanged, with the People's Party winning nearly the entire province, Anutin said that everyone has different opinions. The best approach is to present one’s own party's policies and strengths without disparaging others. He stressed respecting all parties, noting Bhumjaithai never criticizes or incites hatred against other parties. When asked if he was confident about establishing a presence in Bangkok, Anutin said he trusts his candidates, who all have local ties and act as representatives of their communities. When asked if on 2 February he expected to win more than 200 seats, Anutin replied, "Yesterday? There were over 20,000 seats in Suphanburi." (Note: This seems ambiguous or possibly a humorous remark about seat numbers.)
Responds to Thanathorn: Only the people direct politics.
Regarding Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit, the People's Party campaign assistant, who said this election would not allow the People's Party to form the government, Anutin said he had not heard about such claims and did not know who would give such orders. He emphasized that who becomes government or MPs comes solely from the people. Voters decide who enters parliament. Therefore, since power comes from the people, there is no need to fear any orders. The question and answer resolve themselves: those elected are chosen by the people, so MPs must listen to the people. That is the real 'order.' Don’t worry; there are no orders. He added he has been in politics for 22–23 years and never received any orders.
Anutin confident no border incidents and election on 8 February will proceed.
Anutin also commented on 3 February, Veterans Day, about border security. He said the border is currently peaceful and under control, with no signs of trouble. He urged people to trust that the military and government are handling everything carefully. Although there are no violent incidents, surveillance and control at the border remain strict, strong, and effective. When asked if the 8 February election would definitely proceed without problems, Anutin replied, "It must be so. The 8th is just days away, and on 1 February we saw people taking the election seriously as it will determine the country's future."
