Chadchart expressed gratitude for the support throughout his 24-hour campaign trip, revealing that despite little sleep, he gained full energy from people of all ages. He encountered youth supporters hoping to make history, emphasized a constructive campaign approach, and encouraged Bangkok residents to vote.
On 27 June 2026 at 07:30, Chadchart Sittipunt, candidate number 9 for Bangkok Governor, along with his "Bangkok Works" team, began their campaign tour continuing the 24-hour "Citywide Tour" to cover all 50 districts. Today, they headed to southern Bangkok and Thonburi, then northern and southern Krung Thonburi, to meet citizens in the final stretch before the Bangkok Governor and Council elections on 28 June.
At around 08:00, Chadchart and his team visited the King Taksin the Great monument at Wongwian Yai for a blessing before proceeding to the Rat Burana area.
During the trip, Chadchart stopped at Soi Suksawat 46 to inspect a large advertising billboard that had fallen onto houses and cars, damaged by the storm on 26 June. He assessed the damage and listened to local residents' concerns.
At approximately 12:30, Chadchart spoke to the media at Thonburi Fresh Market about the overall campaign overnight. He said he had covered 27 districts so far, noted clear public engagement with the election, observed many people waving and cheering along the route, and expressed confidence that voter turnout would be high.
Chadchart stated that he planned to cover the remaining three districts—Dusit, Phaya Thai, and Samsen-Ratchathewi—before concluding the campaign at Siam Square in the evening, an area important economically and as a hub for young people.
Regarding policy communication during the campaign, Chadchart said he had given his best effort. He believes the core of the Bangkok Governor's role is policy because policies are promises to the people. The more detailed and measurable they are, the easier it is for citizens to hold officials accountable.
Chadchart thanked his team for creatively communicating policies throughout the campaign. He emphasized that the team focused on presenting their plans rather than attacking others and aimed to make the campaign communication as beneficial as possible for the public.
Chadchart acknowledged that the 24-hour campaign was demanding, mentioning he had only about two hours of sleep but still felt happy and encouraged, especially when meeting citizens who deliberately came to support him, such as youth who drove from Khlong Sam Wa to meet him during a late-night stop in Laksi.
“Last night, a group of young people said they wanted to be part of making history. I was very touched, almost moved to tears, because it shows that the younger generation has hope and wants to see a better city, which gives me strength to continue,” Chadchart said.
Asked about ending the campaign activities at Siam Square, Chadchart said that Siam is important as a gathering place for young people and all generations, as well as a key economic area of Bangkok. The city's future rests on both the economy and the education of young people, making it a significant area for Bangkok's transformation.
Regarding criticism of his status as an independent candidate, Chadchart said he respects all opinions and believes everyone has their own approach. Citizens can choose whichever path they prefer. He affirmed that being independent does not mean lacking ideology; his ideology is that the people are always the masters. Being independent allows him to work with all parties.
Towards the end, Chadchart urged citizens to vote on 28 June, emphasizing that in a democracy, elections are the people's power. Regardless of whom people choose, he encouraged everyone to exercise their right and vote for those they love and trust.
“You must go because that is our power. In a democracy, elections are most important. I hope everyone votes in large numbers, overwhelmingly so,” he said.
The 24-hour campaign trip concluded at Siam Square after covering all 50 districts.
Chadchart and the "Bangkok Works" team wrapped up the final phase of the "Citywide Tour" campaign at Siam Square One, after campaigning continuously for 24 hours across all 50 Bangkok districts to meet citizens, communicate policies, and encourage voting in the Bangkok Governor and Council elections on 28 June.
The atmosphere at Siam Square was lively, with citizens and supporters gathering to cheer continuously for candidate number 9. The campaign's host introduced Chadchart as the "strongest former governor on earth" after completing the 50-district, 24-hour campaign.
Chadchart spoke atop a wooden crate in the middle of the Siam Square pedestrian street, saying that over the past 24 hours, the team worked fully for the people, emphasizing that their key goal is to make Bangkok a city of opportunity and hope for everyone.
He outlined the "Bangkok Works" team’s policies based on four main pillars: "People," covering education, public health, and quality of life; "City," relating to infrastructure and convenience; "System," focusing on transparency, technology use, and Bangkok's operational efficiency; and "Economy," aimed at creating jobs and improving livelihoods for Bangkok residents.
Chadchart stressed that these four pillars have been developed into 260 policy plans available in detail on teamchatchart.com. He emphasized that these policies and plans are promises to the public and enable citizens to clearly monitor government performance.
He also highlighted transparency as a core principle, stating that his team fully commits to it because transparency is the foundation of sustainable work. The country and city need efficient, goal-oriented, and accountable governance.
Regarding the campaign period, Chadchart said it was an enjoyable time featuring many creative campaign methods. The team communicated policies directly to the public, presented their plans without attacking others, and used all city spaces to engage with Bangkok residents.
Chadchart emphasized that if many Bangkok residents vote, it will represent a true consensus of the people and provide strong support for the new governor to work effectively for the city.
He urged citizens to vote early on election day, warning of possible rain, and encouraged families to vote together. After voting, they can rest and await election results in the evening. The election is on Sunday, 28 June 2026, from 08:00 to 17:00.
“The Bangkok Governor ballot is green, and the Council member ballot is pink. Please choose the people you love, trust, and who will lead the city toward a sustainable future,” he said.
Chadchart said he will vote early on election day and then follow the results with the public.
