Mongkolkit Suksintharanon, the prime ministerial candidate of the New Alternative Party, has boldly introduced a stunning "interplanetary marriage" policy for the upcoming Thai election on February 8. This controversial proposal allows Thai men to legally marry extraterrestrials, suggesting marriages could include partners from the Moon or Mars. The announcement has sparked widespread astonishment, with legal recognition of these unions potentially lasting two to five years.

Mongkolkit’s proposal has expanded on his party’s earlier gender equality policy, which allows women to have multiple husbands with existing spouses' consent. His fascination with space is evident as he outlined ambitious goals like developing spacecraft for orbital tourism, Moon trips, and Mars missions. Further plans involve creating a Space Force and establishing retail branches on celestial bodies.

The plans don't end with space. Mongkolkit also proposes unique social policies, such as a matchmaking service for Thais, universal healthcare enhancements including cosmetic surgeries, and salary raises for civil servants performing daily fitness tasks. Economic initiatives promise financial support for expectant mothers and tax incentives for parents, alongside unconventional pledges like appointing Elon Musk as a space adviser and acquiring nuclear weapons for Thailand.

Phitsanulok-born Mongkolkit, 44, has been a presence in Thai politics for over a decade, having served as an adviser post-coup in 2014 and later joined the House as part of the Thai Civilised Party. His track record includes a stint with the Democrat Party, where he served as an adviser before founding the New Alternative Party. He insists his party, number 10 on the ballot, offers achievable policies without vote buying, reported Bangkok Post.

Key Takeaways:

• Mongkolkit proposes legal interplanetary marriages, sparking intrigue.

• He plans ambitious space exploration ventures, including Moon and Mars trips.

• Economic initiatives cover healthcare improvements and financial incentives for families.

What's his favorite past time, playing with spiders?

It is not new... many aliens are already married with Thais... Immigration knows this as there is on and in the papers for all foreigners that they are alien...

Sounds out of this world !

Correct, many foreigners are aliens by the way they behave as if they came from another planet - however he was referring to the out of space ones, not the spaced out ones 😉

Election loony partys are all comming out

Playing with something although not sure it's spiders 😊

April he first has come early!

Make it legal???? What? Do they already have a law that says it´s illegal to marry extraterrestrials? If so, I guess that´s kind of stupid too.

Anyway, this is total plonker.

First you have to get their attention, then the real bombs start to come; otherwise he'd remain in the shadows. Actually I think it's a great move, since Thai politics could use a sense of humor, being, as it is, a joke already.

And a vote for one of the "serious" candidates is what now?

They all need a qualified psychiatrist to talk about their understanding of the life.

Five years on Mars is almost an Earth decade. Will the legal unions suggested by the post-coup advisor be enacted under Martian Law?

This alien married a female Thai, will this become null with such a law?

More to the point, I can't vote in Thailand so wno gives a toss about their election idiocy.

What a half moron and a half idiot...

Outstanding. Then after 3 years of marriage, the extraterrestrials can apply for Thai citizenship based on their marriage to a Thai man. Obviously there is no need for Thai women to marry extraterrestrials as the space creatures would only be allowed to stay in Thailand for a temporary stay of one year if they can prove they have 400K THB in a bank or income of 40K/month. It's much better if Thai women just marry 5 Thai men and leave extraterrestrials to the Thai men to marry. 🤔 I wonder if extraterrestrials are male or female? Maybe it doesn't matter.

Total nuts.

What about sexless aliens?

Can't believe someone like him can be candidate for political elections.

free publicity
