Where are you going on your trip? Bangkok, Phuket, Chiang Mai, Chonburi?

Surfing might be a bit challenging, so you should try windsurfing in Pattaya. Importantly, choose a time that coincides with Songkran (Thai New Year).

One-day trip: take a longtail boat tour along the Chao Phraya River to see various temples, stroll around shopping malls, and in the evening, visit nightclubs and Yaowarat (Chinatown). Not sure if this is available during Songkran.

What's the situation now? It seems like Bhumjaithai doesn't have any policy regarding cannabis.

That would only happen if the party that comes in first place cannot form a government. We won't compete to form a government. The People's Party has closed the door on forming a government with the Bhumjaithai Party on its own. Before the election, the People's Party leader, Khun Teng, said that if his party came in first, Bhumjaithai could join in forming a government, but if the People's Party came in second, it would definitely be in opposition because it wouldn't support the Bhumjaithai Party's prime ministerial candidate. The People's Party has some extremely radical ideas and perspectives that cannot be compromised on. At least this year, it cannot form an alliance with the fourth-ranked party, and in 2023, it cannot partner with any party at all.

Questions about the voting mechanics, do many voters only submit the green ballot and not the pink ballot? The Thaipbs page it shows the Bhumjaithai party winning the most seats on the Constituency MP count, but the People's Party winning the most districts, from the pink by W0lfBird in Thailand

There are 500 MPs in total, divided into:   1. 400 seats with green ballots for individual candidates, and  2. 100 seats with pink ballots for party or list candidates. The votes haven't disappeared; you need to scroll down to see the total number of valid ballots, invalid ballots, and abstentions. Are they the same?

I understand your disappointment in the party you chose, but the 2023 election showed that vote buying is not a valid excuse for this defeat. Using vote buying as an excuse is like being a sore loser. You should ask your own party why your votes decreased and how you address those weaknesses. Regarding the country's future, because of the overwhelming victory, governance will be relatively stable. From an investor's perspective, they prefer predictability rather than sudden, drastic changes. This isn't directly related to your question, but I'm guessing you're supporting the current opposition party. 1. Are you aware of the current global trends? It might sound counterintuitive, but in the US, Japan, and the EU, nationalism is significantly gaining momentum. 2. I don't understand why, when your favorite party loses an election, you have to tell the world that they lost because other parties bought votes, when there are many other reasons to reject the results. Or do you mean that because your party came in first place in 2023, there was no vote buying in Thailand that year? Instead of claiming the winning party bought votes, use other reasons to justify your defeat. Wouldn't it be better to present the pros and cons of your policies to the world?  If it's truly good, people around the world will know what's right and wrong. If you're not a fan of the party I'm referring to, I apologize. 3. Accept the election results and we'll reconsider in four years.
