A recent NIDA poll reveals that over 80% of Bangkok residents are satisfied with Governor Chadchart Sittipunt's performance during his first six months in office.
The high satisfaction stems from perceptions of his dedication, responsiveness to public problems, and determined efforts to improve the city.
Despite overall satisfaction, 7.93% expressed dissatisfaction, citing the governor's perceived failure to fulfill promises and address chronic issues such as flooding and traffic congestion.
The poll surveyed 1,500 people across Bangkok's 50 districts, assessing opinions on 17 specific performance areas, including green spaces, tourism, cleanliness, and public transport.

Thailand secured a US$200 million loan from the World Bank to significantly invest in clean energy and low-carbon urban development initiatives.
The program aims to drive clean energy funding and low-carbon growth, ensuring a just transition for small and medium-sized enterprises, workers, farmers, and local communities.
Channelled through the Export-Import Bank of Thailand, the loan will fund energy efficiency upgrades in public buildings and industrial areas, including rooftop solar installations and electrical system modernizations, reducing initial capital burdens via Energy Service Companies (ESCOs).
