A recent independent survey led by Associate Professor Dr Tamrongsak Petchlertanan from Rangsit University shows that 35.89% of Bangkok residents are “highly satisfied” with the performance of Governor Chadchart Sittipunt over the past three years.

 

Governor Chadchart, who assumed office as Bangkok’s 17th governor on 1 June 2022 after winning the May 2022 election as an independent with over 1.38 million votes (51.84%), has implemented his vision of a “livable city for all” through 216 policies across nine key areas.

 

The poll, based on 1,557 respondents between 5–24 April 2025, was conducted by political science students at undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral levels. The question posed was: “How satisfied are you with Governor Chadchart’s performance over the past three years?” The results were as follows:

 

• Highly satisfied – 35.89% (557 respondents)

• Satisfied – 34.60% (537)

• Moderately satisfied – 23.39% (363)

• Slightly dissatisfied – 3.74% (58)

• Very dissatisfied – 2.38% (37)

 

This means that over 70% of respondents expressed positive satisfaction, while just over 6% were dissatisfied.

 

The survey was complemented by additional research conducted by final-year undergraduate student Pracharat Phoanoi, also of Rangsit University. His study, titled “Public Satisfaction with the Administration of Governor Chadchart Sittipunt”, focused on specific performance areas:

 

• Environment (average score 3.80/5): Residents were most pleased with waste collection, public cleanliness, and communication about PM2.5 pollution.

 

• Transport (3.75): Top praise went to sidewalk maintenance and public lighting.

 

• Administration (3.65): Efforts to reduce flooding and disaster response drew particular approval.

 

The only area that scored at a “moderate” satisfaction level was the fight against corruption within the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA), with an average of 3.36.

 

Demographic breakdown of the 1,557 respondents included:

 

• Gender: 53.1% female, 41.9% male, 4.9% did not state.

 

• Age: Gen Z (18–28) made up the largest group at 47.85%, followed by Gen Y (29–45) at 27.75%

 

• Education: Most respondents (61.85%) held a bachelor’s degree

 

• Occupation: Students (34.36%), private sector employees (19.97%), and government workers (12.91%) were the leading groups

 

• Income: The largest segment (26.4%) earned between ฿10,001 and ฿20,000 per month, while 17.8% reported having no income

 

It is important to note that the Tamrongsak Poll is an independent research initiative and is not affiliated with any academic institution or government body.

Really good numbers for him. Wonder what he did to deserve them.

huh! I'll give them 0 for lighting. Our street lights work 2 weeks , don't work 6 or 7 weeks, work 1 week, don't work 6 -7  weeks.  We have complained, the neighbours have complained but nothing helps.

 

As there is no footpath and it is a very busy road, I have now bought a powerful LED torch and shine at the traffic. I have cars stop and ask me what's wrong, so I tell them I am afraid of being hit.

Did he not say he would sort the pollution problem.
