Introducing "Sia Tong" Siripong Angkasangkulkit, MP for Sisaket from the Bhumjaithai Party, who is moving up to the Deputy Minister of Transport position, equipped with civil engineering skills to advance infrastructure work.
On 13 March 2026, Mr. Siripong Angkasangkulkit, known as "Sia Tong" among insiders, became one of the most notable names in this cabinet lineup. He is a disciplined young politician who credits his strict upbringing to the prestigious P.P.R. Rajawittayalai School under royal patronage (Rajawit 26), an institution emphasizing gentlemanly conduct and teamwork.
Beyond his strong "Rajawit bloodline," his educational background perfectly fits the Ministry of Transport's work. Mr. Siripong earned a bachelor's degree in civil engineering from Rangsit University before flying to the United States to obtain a master's degree in Information Technology Management from the University of Colorado at Denver.
Before entering politics, "Sia Tong" was a billion-baht real estate businessman in the Northeast and served as chairman of the Sisaket Provincial Chamber of Commerce.
His elevation to Deputy Minister of Transport represents a practical application of his construction project management and engineering foundation at the national level, drawing attention from his Rajawittayalai peers and citizens nationwide.
