'Tae' Announces Bangkok Governor Bid with 'Half-Price Massage' Policy, Plans 'Matchmaking Office' to Address Single Workers

'Tae' announces Bangkok governor bid, highlighting 'half-price massage' policy and establishing 'matchmaking office' to address single working-age people, while increasing cosmetic surgery hospitals to help Bangkok residents achieve good appearance at affordable prices. On May 7, Mongkolkitti Suksintharanont and his team visited Building 6 at Rangsit University in Pathum Thani after students scheduled to create content and conduct interviews about his vision for preparing to run for Bangkok governor. Mongkolkitti stated that his bid for Bangkok governor represents an independent group not affiliated with any political party, with an administrative team already established featuring multiple deputy governors currently being selected. His policies will focus on beauty, health, and the service economy to improve quality of life for Bangkok residents. Regarding PM 2.5 dust pollution: vehicle standards must be checked for both old and new cars and automobile manufacturing plants, with non-compliant vehicles ordered off the road, while limiting vehicle entry to Bangkok by dividing operating hours into three 8-hour shifts to reduce traffic congestion. Addressing the single population issue: Currently, working-age people in Bangkok aged 25-34 have a single status rate as high as 50-60%, affecting birth rates and long-term population structure. He proposes establishing a 'matchmaking office' as a new Bangkok agency distributed across districts with staff to facilitate pairing and create opportunities for people to find partners within 30 days. Cosmetic surgery hospitals: Another important initiative is making Bangkok residents beautiful by converting 12-13 hospitals. If Bangkok resident illness decreases, these will become specialized cosmetic surgery hospitals with additional specialist surgeons as civil servants, and may partner with private sector to provide surgical services such as nose jobs, chest surgery, skin treatments, body care, and cosmetic repairs to help Bangkok residents achieve good appearance at affordable prices. Half-price massage project: This concept involves allocating a portion of Bangkok's budget to subsidize massage expenses for Bangkok residents in a cost-sharing model where the city covers half—for example, if a service costs 600 baht, Bangkok pays 300 baht, similar to the government's past 'half-price for all' program model.
