The event attracted significant public attention, with attendees presenting gifts such as marigold garlands, cocoa products, and potted plants.

He outlined his plans to address key issues, including debt resolution, agricultural support, and international market access for local products.

Yotsanan also highlighted his commitment to improving infrastructure and promoting tourism in highland areas. He promised to use satellite technology for security monitoring and to implement a digital government system to manage these efforts. Additionally, he pledged to address water management challenges and improve healthcare access with AI-enhanced policies.

Mr. Nattawut Saikua, a campaign assistant for the Pheu Thai Party, also addressed the crowd, stressing the importance of electing a party with proven achievements.
