Seththa Tawisin took his favorite dog to vote in the Bangkok governor and council elections, emphasizing that every election is important and urging people to exercise their voting rights. He also called on the new governor to address corruption issues and ensure public confidence.
At 08:30 on 28 June 2026 GMT+7 Mr. Seththa Tawisin, former Prime Minister, walked with his beloved dog named Chaokaw from his residence in Sukhumvit to cast his vote for Bangkok governor and members of the Bangkok Metropolitan Council at a polling station located at the parking garage of City Lake Tower condominium, Soi Sukhumvit 16, Khlong Toei Subdistrict, Khlong Toei District, Bangkok.
Mr. Seththa said the weather was nice today, with no rain and mild morning sun. He thought it best to come out early to vote. He urged everyone to fully exercise their voting rights and hoped voter turnout would reach 70%, the target. He emphasized that every election is important because it allows citizens to choose leaders who will manage both national and local governance.
When asked if he had any message for the new governor, whose results would be announced today, Mr. Seththa said, "I believe whoever becomes governor knows well what needs to be done and understands the public's hardships. However, if I were to leave a message, it would be about corruption, which I consider a major issue. This must be addressed to build public confidence." .
