Bangkok: The Rak Chart Party paid homage to King Taksin and listened to feedback from residents, who complained about the unfulfilled 20-baht electric train project and requested help in solving their economic and debt problems.

According to Thai News Agency, Mr. Jetsada Tonawanik, Prime Minister candidate of the Rak Chart Party, along with Mr. Chaiwut Thanakamanusorn, party leader and Prime Minister candidate, led a team of Rak Chart Party Bangkok MP candidates and party members to pay homage to the Royal Monument of King Taksin the Great in Khlong San Subdistrict, Thonburi District, Bangkok, to commemorate his great benevolence in unifying Siam after the second fall of Ayutthaya.

Following this, the Rak Chart Party team visited the Wongwian Yai area to meet with the public, discussing their problems and urgent needs for the politicians in parliament to address. A key point from the public was the need to resolve the issue of debt, specifically informal loans with high daily interest rates. Many villagers and small business owners who work for a living often need to borrow money from these informal lenders, who are usually not Thai. They wanted the government to tackle this problem. Meanwhile, there were also complaints about the campaign promise of a flat fare of 20 baht for the entire BTS Skytrain system, arguing that this was unrealistic because the system has different concessions. They questioned why the government would mislead the public when they couldn't deliver on their promise during their previous term in government.

Mr. Jetsada revealed that he had listened and requested an opportunity for younger generations and smaller parties, such as the Rak Chart Party, which lacks wealthy donors, to propose policies to help solve problems. These policies would focus on increasing opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to grow stronger through expanded access to credit and tax incentives. He suggested that with easy and fair access to funding, people could develop their careers, increase their income, and improve their quality of life without the pressure of daily interest charges from informal loans.

However, today's campaign visit was kept simple because the Rak Chart Party intended to listen to the people. Along the way, people approached Professor Jetsada to take photos. Some were restaurant owners, others were state enterprise employees, and they all said they were tired of the old politics and the same old faces. Mr. Jetsada responded by saying, "Give a chance to the new generation," and then introduced the new members of the Rak Chart Party to the public.
