Abhisit Vejjajiva campaigned vigorously in Trang, confronting the influence of money power in the final stretch. Confident in the Democrat Party's comeback, he inspired Southern voters to restore political dignity, launching the campaign “Safe Path Forward, Trust Abhisit,” urging to chase away gray, choose blue, and mark 2 ballots for the party.
3 Feb 2026 GMT+7 Mr. Abhisit Vejjajiva, leader of the Democrat Party. Alongside Mr. Satit Wongnongtoey, Deputy Party Leader, and Mr. Sombun Uthaiviengkul, party-list MP candidate, they campaigned at the multipurpose plaza of the Kantang City Historical Study Center in Trang province, supporting Mr. Kanj Tungpong, candidate for Trang’s 4th constituency. The crowd enthusiastically asked for selfies, garlanded him with marigolds, and gave red roses. The atmosphere was lively. Mr. Satit greeted the welcoming crowd and teased Abhisit, saying. “No need to walk yourself anymore, because the villagers are coming.” He then emphasized. “Let’s make some noise all the way to Buriram province.”
Then, Abhisit addressed the crowd, saying he wanted to pursue honest politics to improve the economy, but it must start with elections free from vote-buying. This is what former Prime Minister and Democrat party-list candidate Mr. Chuan Leekpai has consistently told the people of Trang. If money continues to dominate politics, the country will face ongoing problems. Today, he invited people to join because for decades in politics, the people have stood alongside the Democrat Party in fighting these issues.
“This time, we fight to restore a country where people work without vested interests and devote themselves 100% to serving the public.” Rubber prices, palm oil, agricultural and fisheries products must recover. The Democrat Party has done this before when rubber prices exceeded 100 baht. This time, they intend to proceed with income guarantee programs and encourage investment to raise rubber prices confidently above 80 baht. They will continue to improve policies they initiated such as school milk programs, school lunches, free education, student loans, elderly allowances, and welfare funds for village health volunteers.
At the same time, Abhisit stressed that without gray areas and corruption that damage Thailand’s image, tourism would fully recover. This is what everyone must work on to improve the economy. He acknowledged that economic improvement cannot happen overnight, so the Democrat Party does not promise false hopes. After his speech, many people came to take photos and presented jackets embroidered with “Trust Thailand with Prime Minister Abhisit” for him to sign. Some also donated 3,000 baht to support the party’s campaign.
Reporters added that today the Democrat Party also launched a large-scale public relations campaign (Out of Home Media) at key landmarks across Bangkok to communicate directly with urban and younger voters, emphasizing their stance on “honest politics” with three sharp, memorable messages.
1. Safe Path Forward: Choosing the Democrat Party is the only future-safe choice that protects against gray capital, scammers, and corruption.
2. Trust Abhisit: Reinforcing confidence in a leader committed to honest politics with experience and firm ideals.
3. Chase Away Gray, Choose Blue, Mark 2 Ballots: Expressing the power of the people to remove gray capital and corruption from politics.
The locations at Paragon Park and Ratchada-Ladprao intersection signal that the Democrat Party is ready to support all groups, especially working-age and younger voters tired of politics dominated by vested interests, corruption, gray capital, and political deals. The party offers a safe path out of murky politics toward transparency and invites citizens to make new political history by marking 2 ballots blue to ensure a clean future for the next generations.
