Leader of the Kla Tham Party, Thammanat Prompao, visited Songkhla province to meet with local political figures, though he denied discussing specific coalition formulas.
On August 9, 2026, Thammanat Prompao, leader of the Kla Tham Party, conducted a visit to Songkhla province. Accompanied by Paweena Hongsakula, Thammanat met with Dej-is Khao-thong at his office to engage with party members and local representatives.
According to a report by Thai Post, the visit drew attention due to ongoing public speculation regarding potential political alliances, often referred to in local media as 'green-orange-red' coalition formulas. However, Thammanat explicitly stated during the visit that no discussions regarding these specific political configurations have taken place.
For residents and travelers in the region, this visit highlights the ongoing activity of political figures in southern Thailand. While such meetings are standard political engagement, they often serve as indicators of shifting alliances that may influence local governance or future policy directions. At this stage, the nature of the discussions remains limited to the official statements provided by the participants. Whether these meetings will lead to formal political cooperation or remain strictly social or organizational in nature remains to be confirmed by future developments.
