2022.06.22 Correspondents' dinner with the new Bangkok governor

Bangkok governor Chadchart Sittipunt has hit the ground running since he won the May 22 governor's election. He swept up more than 1.3 million votes, a landslide win which left his nearest rivals trailing with around 250,000 votes each. The new governor, who is certainly the most meme-able political figure in Thailand, has immediately started popping up throughout Thai culture and his down-to-earth persona and candid style of management have injected a new energy and momentum into the city hall. Some observers see Chadchart’s victory as an indictment of the government and its conservative backers who have dominated the country’s political landscape since the 2014 military coup. Others see it as a vote against the decades of polarization, with the city’s voters choosing someone who is widely seen as being able to work effectively with all sides. Come and join us at the FCCT clubhouse for a correspondents’ dinner with the Bangkok governor who is dubbed by his supporters as “the strongest Bangkok governor in all lands”.
