Future Forward party leader Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit boarded a pickup on Tuesday to tour Samut Prakan province and thank those who voted for his candidate at the general election.

 

Wuthinan Boonchu sneaked in to win one of the seven Lower House seats in a province which had been stronghold of the Pheu Thai party for several years.

 

According to the Election Commission’s declaration of the unofficial result on March 25, the day after the poll, Samut Prakan’s six others seats were won by the pro-junta Palang Pracharat party that nominated the incumbent premier, Prayut Chan-o-cha, to be the next PM.

 

Thanathorn started his thank-you tour at three markets: Samrong and Iam-charoen. Wuthinan himself also attended to show his gratitude.

 

The group was warmly welcomed by local people. Thanathorn was seen to wai to express his gratitude and many people waved back at him, while others greeted him, shook hands with him and took selfies with him.

This guy has bought a whole lot of trouble into his life by entering politics.

One hell of a sacrifice considering he could have carried on living the easy life of a billionaire.

Could he be the one who finally lands the knock out blow?

Good luck to him, let's hope he's not jailed or forced into exile.

Maybe he's the first that is truly trying to get Thailand straight, enough of the dinosaur politicians, enough of the military saying they are the democrats, enough of the self enrichment policies.

He has stepped up to the plate & given Thai people someone to vote for who is an alternative to the years of the past!

I hope he can ride-out the flak that's going to come his way, either in a coalition party or as an opposition party!

That has yet to be declared!
