Incumbent Governor MR Sukhumband Paribatra.

BANGKOK: -- With his term expiring on January 10, 2013, Bangkok Governor MR Sukhumbhand Paribatra could not have done more to secure the Democrat Party’s nomination for re-election. But as the Party draws close to announcing a candidate, it’s increasingly starting to seem like Sukhumbhand’s name won’t even be in the running.

In November, Sukhumbhand revealed several projects as pre-election gifts for Bangkokians, including the city’s very first dog park, to be constructed as part of a THB50-million public park in the Bang Khen District. He also promised four, 200-bed hospitals to be established in four corners of the city.
