Bangkok governor Chadchart Sittipunt has received mixed responses from scholars after 99 days in the job.
Senator Sungsidh Piriyarangsan, chairman of the Senate committee on reducing poverty and social inequality, said yesterday that Mr Chadchart and his team had made little effort to solve the basic problems of the city.
"His efforts have failed to meet the expectations of Bangkokians because problems such as floods, rubbish and traffic congestion remain unsolved," he said.
