To me, Kla Tham has positioned themselves too close to Pheu Thai to become a conservative option. But of course they will still win a lot of constituency votes.
I think that is one of the most interesting questions we have entering the next election. In 2023 BJT received far more constituency votes than party-list votes, showing that people supported their local candidates but were hardly enthused about the national party. If they can pick up more votes from ideological conservatives based on their national stances, that would make them an even more powerful electoral force.
Hopefully the People's Party will wipe the floor with all these conservative parties in the next election. It's reform vs. the Big Houses.
I would have thought of Kla Tham as another conservative option.

Understand. But let's see. Maybe, their outstanding characteristic is opportunism.
And as such, they may lean rather more to the conservative camp.
Fascinating insight into the right. Where is Bhumjaithai’s support concentrated?

That seems to be a tall order given that even in the NE and the South (their "strongholds"), the BJT got only 4.09% of the PL vote.
