Pattaya News – Bhumjaithai Party Hosts Final Campaign Rally in Pattaya, Encouraging Voter Support for Candidates

PATTAYA, Chonburi – On February 5th, 2026, the Bhumjaithai Party in Chonburi Province organized a high-energy final-stage campaign rally ahead of the general election on February 8, 2026. Leading the event was Sonthaya Kunplume, former Minister of Culture, Former Pattaya Mayor, and a key campaign supporter for the party, alongside the party’s candidates for the House of Representatives from Chonburi.

The rally took place at the busy intersection in central Pattaya on Pattaya Beach, drawing a large and enthusiastic crowd of local residents, party supporters, and business figures from the area.

The event featured speeches from two prominent candidates: Chawalit Saenguthai, a former provincial governor running as candidate No. 5 in Constituency 8, and Man Intarapat, a provincial council member contesting Constituency 9 as candidate No. 8.

Chawalit Saenguthai opened the stage by outlining his vision and reasons for joining Bhumjaithai, praising the party as well-prepared to govern the country. He highlighted its “Talk then Do Plus” slogan, along with practical policies that address people’s needs and a team of capable, proven personnel.

If elected as MP for Constituency 8, Chawalit pledged to prioritize advancing key government initiatives, particularly the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) special development zone and the high-speed rail project, ensuring they deliver tangible results. He also committed to pushing forward various development projects to improve residents’ quality of life in Chonburi. Describing his strengths, he described himself as someone who “knows the area, knows the people, knows the problems, and can easily connect with the public,” positioning himself as a true representative ready to serve.

Next, Man Intarapat spoke about his long-standing work in the local area as a native of the region. He affirmed his commitment to becoming a voice for the people in Parliament if given the opportunity, focusing on addressing livelihood issues, grassroots economy, and maximizing benefits from infrastructure development.

Man specifically highlighted tourism as his top priority for Pattaya and the Nongprue sub-district, noting that it remains the heart of Pattaya’s economy, which is currently experiencing a slowdown. If elected, he vowed to urgently promote measures to attract both domestic and international tourists.

Closing the rally, Sonthaya Kunplume expressed strong confidence in the party’s performance. He noted that continuous campaigning since the dissolution of Parliament had clearly presented the party’s policies, personnel, and track record. He urged voters to trust Bhumjaithai’s candidates in Constituencies 8 (No. 5) and 9 (No. 8), as well as the party list under number 37.

Sonthaya acknowledged that while some areas require intensified efforts, the party views every part of the constituencies as critical. In areas where past results fell short, the party is working harder to build trust, while in stronger areas, it wants to maintain support. Consistent grassroots engagement, he said, has generated positive feedback from the public.

Addressing the political rhetoric of “big house joining hands with new house”, a phrase implying alliances between established and emerging political forces, Sonthaya dismissed it as mere election-season talk. He said such statements are often incomplete or designed to create misunderstanding, and voters can judge them with discernment.

He questioned why differences of opinion in organizations, companies, or political parties should be unusual, stressing that the key is finding common ground and solutions. Politics, he argued, should focus on facts, people’s problems, and concrete solutions rather than creating divisive narratives. Ultimately, uniting efforts to seriously address issues will allow progress and resolution of challenges.

Sonthaya concluded by urging all eligible voters to exercise their right on Sunday, February 8th, 2026, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. He encouraged careful consideration when choosing MPs and the party to lead the country, stating that truth, clear work plans, experience, and proven capability are the essential factors for driving national progress and delivering tangible economic solutions.
