Henryford Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 (edited) 36,575 total votes seems low, even for a 50% turnout. I always assumed Pattaya had a big population. Is he the same party as Kunplume? no change of getting the roads fixed then. Edited May 23, 2022 by Henryford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget many many people you see working and living in Pattaya are not eligible to vote in Pattaya as you can only vote in the area in which you are registered in the Tabian Baan. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many locals working here are not registered but maintain their home address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Meeseeks Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Quote “Beer” is part of the “Rao Rak Pattaya” or “We Love Pattaya” political party, which is led by Sonthaya Khunplume. Keeping it in the mafia family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
