The political drive of Thailand’s youth was exemplified by a resilient 19 year old who left the intensive care unit (ICU) at a hospital in Chanthaburi to exercise his right to vote in Thailand’s General Election yesterday.

 

Staff at Bangkok Chanthaburi Province transferred Kampanat, aka “Boom,” – suffering from a severe allergic reaction – via wheelchair out of the hospital to the ambulance and escorted him to the polling station to have his rightful say in his country’s future.

 

Boom’s mother Chuliwan said that her son fell seriously ill after suffering an allergic reaction on Friday. Knowing he wanted to vote for the first time in Sunday’s election, she inquired with doctors whether it would possible while he was still receiving treatment, reports CH3.

 

The doctors informed Chuliwan that Boom was permitted to leave the ICU temporarily to exercise his right to vote so long as he did so under close supervision of medical staff who would assist him there and back via ambulance.

 

Chuliwan proudly told reporters that her son Boom, who receives special treatment for autism, is responsible for not wasting his right to vote. She praised the staff at Bangkok Chanthaburi Hospital for making it possible.
