On May 1, 2025, Mongkolkit Suksinthananont, known as 'Te Phra Ram 7' and chairman of the 'Bangkok Can Fly' group, visited Srinakharinwirot University Prasanmitr to meet with students and participate in selfie photo sessions, push-up competitions, and social media content creation. Hundreds of students attended the lively event.
Mongkolkit revealed that the campus visit was in response to an invitation from student groups and he was surprised by the large turnout. Many students inquired about his potential candidacy for Bangkok Governor and the 'Bangkok Can Fly' group's policies. Representatives from Rangsit University also invited him to visit on May 7, 2025, as students wanted further discussions and to hear more about his vision.
During the meeting, Mongkolkit outlined the 'Bangkok Can Fly' group's comprehensive policies covering infrastructure development, technology, and quality of life improvements. These include improving Saen Saeb Canal for safe water usage, developing flying cars, sending Bangkok residents to space, establishing a paleontology museum, and creating a 'Jurassic World'-style tourist attraction in Bangkok. He also proposed introducing electric dinosaur robots as city activities and landmarks, noting that while the private sector can develop these projects, the government has not seriously allocated budgets.
He proposed increasing salaries for Bangkok civil servants and personnel by 10% for those meeting health criteria, using exercise as a condition for local tax reductions, and expanding healthcare benefits including surgery services at Bangkok hospitals, while promoting continuous physical activity among residents.
Mongkolkit stated that if the 'Bangkok Can Fly' group gains support from more than 25 Bangkok City Council members, they could reduce corruption-related budget allocations by 40%, redirecting approximately 20 billion baht toward public welfare. He also proposed opening tourism zones 24 hours daily and promoting comprehensive entertainment complexes in high-end hotels to attract tourists and investors, generating revenue for city development.
Regarding social policy, he proposed increasing elderly allowances in Bangkok to 3,000 baht monthly, suggesting district-level implementation first due to lower budget requirements compared to nationwide programs, which would need hundreds of billions of baht.
Mongkolkit also stated that several politicians and academics have expressed interest in representing the 'Bangkok Can Fly' group in a Bangkok Governor candidacy, though any supported candidate must fully commit to the group's policies to ensure unified administrative direction.
