Bangkok governor candidate Mallika Boonmeetrakul Mahasuk pledged to deploy artificial intelligence (AI) to tackle traffic congestion and flooding, while rival Anucha Burapachaisri of the Democrat Party vowed to overhaul Bangkok's waste-collection system as campaigning intensified in the final week before the June 28 election.
In Lak Si district on Saturday, Ms Mallika, candidate number 14, visited Rim Bueng market, a busy commercial area. She was welcomed by supporters who raised problems they want the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) to address.
