Mongkol Kitti Storms Satriwitthaya 2 School as Students Cheer and Shout '007'
Mongkol Kitti and a Bangkok gubernatorial candidate visited Satriwitthaya 2 School on May 22, where enthusiastic students gathered seeking photos and autographs while discussing education and transportation issues with the delegation.
On May 22, 2569, Mongkol Kitti Sukhsintharanont, leader of the 'Bangkok Can Fly' group, visited Satriwitthaya 2 School to meet with students, accompanied by Bangkok gubernatorial candidate Phasermpong Chaiyaviriyanavaniched, Vivat Chareonpanichsiree, and Phakphorn Chanchanana, along with team members. The visit drew large crowds of students who eagerly welcomed the delegation. The school corridors and grounds were packed with students seeking selfies, autographs, and photos, with some climbing desks and onto friends' shoulders to catch a glimpse of 'Phi Tae,' while shouts of '007' echoed throughout the campus.
During the visit, Mongkol Kitti and his team conversed casually with students, listened to their concerns about education, transportation, and school environment, and gathered their perspectives on Bangkok's educational development. Phakphorn Chanchanana also engaged in discussions about academic quality, youth activities, and stress reduction for students.
Phasermpong Chaiyaviriyanavaniched, the gubernatorial candidate, stated that the visit aimed to listen to students' problems and opinions about what they would like the Bangkok governor to improve. From conversations with students, he identified the main issue of transportation, noting one student living in Lam Lukka, Pathum Thani, who needs daily rides from parents. He proposed implementing a 'Student Bus' system with long-distance routes connecting outer areas to central Bangkok, including a route from the Vibhavadi-Rangsit zone to a central hub at Sanam Luang to reduce commuting problems.
If given the opportunity to govern Bangkok, Phasermpong said he would negotiate with major bus operators running over 3,100 vehicles to allocate approximately 30 percent, or around 1,000 buses, for a trial run on 10 major routes to assess whether this could reduce traffic congestion, increase public transportation usage, and decrease personal vehicle use.
Discussions with school administrators revealed three main issues: flooding problems, transportation and traffic concerns, and dangerously low-hanging overhead cables in some areas, with requests for Bangkok to remove and organize them for safety.
Mongkol Kitti expressed surprise at the enthusiastic reception from Satriwitthaya 2 students.
