Mongkolkit, formerly of the New Alternative Party, is negotiating with two or three candidates to represent the team in the governor race, with decisions expected soon. He unveiled an array of policies, including a study on flying cars, with plans to visit China for research. Another focus is the “Drinkable Khlong Saen Saep” initiative, aiming to make Bangkok's canal water potable within a year.
Proposed reforms for the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration's civil servants include mandated exercise routines and controversial appearance-related measures, such as “White Aura” skin treatments and cosmetic enhancements. A proposal to increase penis length for certain male staff members was also mentioned.
Further policies included the “Gulf of Thailand pearl necklace” plan, intended to link with government flood prevention islands. An entertainment complex allowing poker games and a space initiative to send Thai people to space were also highlighted. Mongkolkit asserts these ambitious plans are feasible, despite their unconventional nature.
