Chiang Mai: Former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra is stepping back into the political arena, this time to support candidates in the upcoming Chiang Mai mayoral election. He expressed his desire to restore the city to its former state of beauty, cleanliness, and orderliness, which he believes has deteriorated since his time in office.
According to Thai News Agency, Thaksin emphasized the importance of the municipality as a key mechanism in achieving this vision. He drew parallels with the American slogan ‘Make America Great Again,’ adopting a similar mantra, ‘Make Thailand Great Again,’ as a call to action for the nation. Thaksin aims to reinstate Thailand as a source of pride for its citizens, focusing on improvements in the economy, safety, and government services.
