BANGKOK - All eyes will be on Bangkok's Laksi-Chatuchak district on Sunday (Jan 30) for clues on voter sentiment in Thailand.
Political observers say the votes from some 170,000 eligible voters in the by-election in Constituency 9 of the district will help parties gauge sentiment since the Covid-19 pandemic, including the government's handling of the crisis, as well as the economic and social fallout from it.
