Only one woman withstood Move Forward’s Bangkok takeover – meet Theerarat Samrejvanich

Theerarat Samrejvanich is unique among Bangkok MPs, being the only successful candidate not from the Move Forward Party, securing a narrow four-vote victory in Lat Krabang.
Her deep roots in Lat Krabang, stemming from her father's political career and her family's community engagement, provided her with a strong connection to local constituents.
Despite political shifts, including the 2014 coup, Theerarat consistently maintained her political career through dedicated grassroots work, leading to multiple re-elections and her role as Pheu Thai spokeswoman.
As a modern politician, she effectively utilizes social media to connect with younger followers and promote her work, enhancing her reputation and outreach.
