Opposition Leader Forum Relocated to Parliament Following Venue Cancellation
Parit Wacharasindhu confirms the opposition leader forum will proceed this Saturday at the Parliament building after the Pullman Hotel withdrew its venue space.
According to a report by Thai Post on August 27, 2026, Parit Wacharasindhu has announced that the upcoming opposition leader forum will proceed as scheduled this Saturday, despite the Pullman Hotel cancelling the use of its facilities for the event. Parit dismissed suggestions that the cancellation was linked to political pressure, stating that he had anticipated potential issues and had already prepared a contingency plan.
The event will now be hosted at the Parliament building. Parit noted that the new venue is capable of accommodating a larger number of attendees than the original location.
For residents and visitors, this change highlights the fluid nature of political event planning in Bangkok. While the event remains open to its intended audience, those planning to attend should update their travel arrangements to the Parliament complex rather than the hotel. As of now, the specific agenda and the full list of speakers for the Saturday session remain the primary details to be confirmed by the organizers. There has been no official statement from the Pullman Hotel regarding the specific reasons for the venue withdrawal, and the situation remains a matter of internal logistical adjustment for the opposition group.
