Bangkok Governor Chadchart explains his working style

13 Sept 09:55 Key points summarised by AI

Governor Chadchart defends his direct, hands-on working style, which involves personally visiting problem areas and engaging with residents to understand and resolve issues.
He addresses social media criticism, explaining that actions like pushing a broken cart were immediate acts of assistance, not a departure from his core duties, and he welcomes feedback.
Chadchart emphasizes that his on-the-spot inspections are crucial for uncovering specific, often overlooked problems (e.g., communication gaps during flood relief) that would remain unknown if he only issued orders remotely.
His approach aims to prioritize the people's concerns and serve as an example for district officials to adopt a similar proactive, field-based problem-solving methodology.
