Bangkok: "Chulaphan" led the Pheu Thai party delegation to the Chom Thong and Bang Khun Thian areas to solicit votes for "Saranyasarn, number 7," and also visited the Daokhanong fire station, emphasizing safety during the New Year 2026 celebrations. Mr. Chulaphan Amornvivat, leader of the Pheu Thai Party and prime ministerial candidate, visited Pibulwit 3 Market in Chom Thong District, Bangkok, to campaign for support of Mr. Saranyasarn Veerakulsoontorn, the Pheu Thai Party's candidate for Member of Parliament in Bangkok's Bang Khun Thian (specifically Tha Kham subdistrict) and Chom Thong (excluding Bang Khun Thian subdistrict) districts, number 7.
According to Thai News Agency, Mr. Chulaphan and Mr. Saranyasand walked around the market, meeting and talking with vendors and business owners, as well as warmly soliciting votes from the public who were shopping there. Along the way, people gave roses and garlands as encouragement to the Pheu Thai Party candidates, chanting "Saranyasand, number 7; Pheu Thai Party, number 9." The Pheu Thai Party leader also asked the people of Chom Thong to support the Pheu Thai Party candidates.
Then, at 6:00 PM, Mr. Chulaphan traveled to the Daokhanong Fire Station to discuss preparedness for emergencies during the New Year's Eve and New Year's Day festivities of 2026. Mr. Chulaphan told the Daokhanong Fire Station team that he had the opportunity to visit the station to thank all the officers for their dedication in helping to ensure the well-being of the public during the New Year's Eve and New Year's Day celebrations. He noted that during this time, all officers are on duty and working hard to protect people's homes.
During today's visit to the fire station, it was revealed that the station is over 70 years old and will soon receive funding for maintenance. The firefighters highlighted the importance of thermal imaging drones, crucial for detecting heat and searching for survivors, but noted a current shortage of these drones. The Pheu Thai Party supports the use of technology to aid firefighters and will support initiatives to increase the availability of these drones to assist Thai citizens better.
Mr. Chulaphan also expressed concern for Thai people during the festive season, urging them to be cautious about fire hazards and accidents, which tend to increase during holidays. He advised travelers to be mindful, avoid driving under the influence, ensure their vehicles are in good condition, and take care of their health for a safe and happy New Year celebration.
