City News – After application from 23rd – 27th September there are now a total of six applicants for mayor.

It’s thought the leading applicants are:

Applicant number three Tadsanai Buranupakorn, the former mayor, is supported by his uncle Bunlert Buranupakorn, President of Chiang Mai Provincial Administration Organization, as well as the Red Shirts and Pue Thai Group. This already gives him a big advantage.

Phornchai Jitnawasatian, applicant number four, is the owner of the Royal Peninsula Hotel and CM Building at Kuang Sing. He is also the former Vice Chiang Mai Mayor. His policies are to improve public transportation, infrastructure, and support Chiang Mai as a creative city. 

Applicant number one, a female lawyer, Tidarat Siriwittayakorn says she will focus on anti-corruption and a “clean” Chiang Mai. She has positioned herself as “the new choice” and says she is a leader of the people and will listen to the people.

The election will be held on 3rd November from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. The Office of The Election Commission of Thailand has estimated that there will be about 60 – 70 percent from a total of 180,000 people vote this year. Last year there was 51 percent.
