Democrat party leader Abhisit Vejjajiva was playfully cheered by a student who called him the "next Prime Minister" during a campaign visit in Nonthaburi.
Abhisit's visit aimed to identify issues within the education system, uncovering a flawed school lunch subsidy where funding significantly drops for schools with over 40 students.
He also addressed broader educational challenges, including social inequality, student loan burdens, declining student attention spans, and local drug problems like e-cigarettes and cannabis use among youth.
