Bangkok: Joe Chaiwat Sathavorawichit has launched a campaign across Bangkok, displaying 10 key policies aimed at transforming the city into "A City That Cares for Its People."

According to Thai News Agency, the campaign kicked off early this morning at 6:00 AM, with large billboards appearing in strategic locations such as Victory Monument, Siam Paragon, and Din Daeng Triangle. These billboards showcase Chaiwat's vision, emphasizing his candidate number 10 through a list of 10 policies designed to improve the quality of life for Bangkok's residents.

The policies outlined on the billboards include plans to enhance public transportation by adding bus routes connected to the BTS Skytrain, with covered shelters to shield commuters from the elements. Chaiwat also aims to address healthcare inefficiencies by allowing universal healthcare cardholders to access medical services without long waits. Another significant policy involves annual cleaning of the city's drains to prevent flooding.

Chaiwat's campaign promises 24-hour crime prevention by integrating government and private CCTV systems with AI technology. He also pledges to ensure fair trade practices without the need for bribes, and to provide free care for bedridden patients by hiring over 5,000 caregivers. Other initiatives include reintroducing ferry services in the canals, establishing senior care centers near communities, supporting SMEs through incentives to purchase from small retailers, and offering affordable city accommodation.

Each billboard prominently features a picture of Chaiwat, the number 10, and the campaign slogan, reinforcing his commitment to building a city that prioritizes its people. Chaiwat has previously stated that while he will still use Bangkok City Council signs, they will be limited in number. To minimize disruption and resource use, he will avoid placing signs along roads and utility poles, opting instead for banners in markets and communities, brochures, leaflets, and social media to convey his message.
