Election Campaign

There was an election campaign at Rachaprasong Bangkok on the evening of June 23th. Pee Vinai Chongsomjit asked me if I would like to go with him and I said yes. My desire was to go to the Shopping Centres around that place to see or to be surrounded with people. Besides, I wanted to see the atmosphere of the one of those campaigns being organised by political parties


This one was organised by Democrat Party, the oldest party in Thailand. They used the area of Rachaprasong becuase they were accused to be the murderers of 96 bodies on the occasion of the red shirt demonstration and chaos clean up, this was happened almost a year ago. They just wanted to re-explain to the public. I have already believed them.


The campaign site was on the large area in front of Central World where the people come for the count down on new year eve every years. This picture was taken in the evening while people had been waiting for the programme.


On that day, traffic was not so heavy. The people who used to pass this place might have avoided to other routes.


They were Thais, each of whom owned a vote and would do it for the nation on next fortnight Sunday.


Just waiting. By the time they were waiting, we went in Central World for the set of Fish Burger. Then the rain showered down for a while, making the air around cooler, people looked happy to have some small rain


Many camera sets were ready to be shot. It should be the interesting event tonight.


Lots of people. I believed that Thai people were clever to make decision. I did not know if they came here voluntarily or some ones took them.


News reporters, I guess, observing from their personality.


A corner of audiences



This time they were waiting for the programme


The speech was started from 6 to 10 pm., There were 4 famous political speakers together.


Raised their hands for cooperation.


The announcer was telling the content and detail of the programme


Changed my view to the beautiful sky-height buildings


Until 8.00pm, I thought it was time I headed back home.


It was late when I walked back but people kept coming. I wondered why they'd like to come, they were interested in listening to the speech or just only participating in the active group for pleasure.

We walked back through the sky walk to Siam Paragon and Siam Discovery to get to the car parking near by. I really enjoyed seeing people and listening to a part of their speech. I do not know if this party is able to win the election but I have impressed their political performance since long time ago. There are not many good politicians in our country but in this party, there are some ones whom I accept. Good luck. I'd vote for them.
