"Kungfu," leader of the Thai Ruam Palang Party, reported to parliament, declaring his readiness to join the government unconditionally if approached, assuring there will be no hesitation. He emphasized the desire to resolve border issues and to promote sugarcane and sugar laws along with the debt relief bill.
On 7 Mar 2026 GMT+7 at the Parliament, Mr. Wasawat Phuangpornsi, party-list MP and leader of the Thai Ruam Palang Party, came to report to the Secretariat of the House of Representatives. He then thanked the public for their kindness and trust in both constituency and party-list MPs of Thai Ruam Palang. Although he is an MP representing the border people, he is ready to work as a representative of all Thai citizens and to help coordinate across all sides. "We do not seek conflict but the benefit of the people." The party will discuss plans ahead to reflect each area's issues in parliament and push forward pending legislation from the previous session, including the Sugarcane and Sugar Act and the Debt Relief Bill.
Mr. Wasawat further spoke about the party's stance on joining the government. "Our party will not rush to seek positions or join the government out of political etiquette. The first-ranked party, Bhumjaithai Party, should be invited to form the government. Personally, I believe Thailand needs a strong government." The Thai Ruam Palang Party comes from border communities that have endured war and hardship. Our voice may be small, but if we can help empower the government to move forward with solving problems, I believe the benefits will reach the people. "Please contact us officially. We are willing, without conditions, and ready to support in principle. Our six parliamentary votes will strengthen the government. We are glad to do so to make the voices of the border people heard more loudly." "This includes resolving war-related measures and caring for border residents. If approached, we will not hesitate. Our party’s policies align with Bhumjaithai Party on many points. If we can assist them, we are ready to move forward hand in hand."
Regarding border issues, Mr. Wasawat said that although currently there are no worrying problems, complacency is not an option. Bilateral negotiations continue, but if Cambodia does not reciprocate and instead provokes, reinforces forces, and increases military equipment, it means they have not ceased activity. Cambodia is strengthening its security while Thai forces must also bolster their strength and solidity. We have confidence in our military to resolve border issues, but over more than a year, local people remain suffering and want the problems resolved quickly.
"Resolving border problems cannot be done in a day or two, or within a couple of months. Sustainable solutions are required, including budget matters and support for military families. Many soldiers have not yet received compensation promised by the government. Therefore, I want to support the prompt formation of a government so it can address these issues, both border problems and the economy related to the Middle East war. This must be an agenda that all 500 MPs should help drive and resolve concretely."
