00:00Our people have given us more than what we expected.
00:06A stunning victory for the ruling Bung Chai Thai Party and Prime Minister Anutin Chan Virakul.
00:12With 90% of the votes counted, they're set to secure more than 190 seats.
00:17The party's campaign obviously resonated with the people.
00:21It promised subsidies, cash handouts, jobs in the rural areas.
00:26It also promised big investments in infrastructure and tourism, both key sectors of the economy.
00:34Now, Anutin, a well-respected dealmaker, played a critical role in the party's win.
00:40As Prime Minister, he took a hard stance against Cambodia in their border dispute.
00:45That has sparked a wave of nationalist sentiment across the country, which some say has worked in Bung Chai Thai's favour.
00:52Now, for investors, this is possibly the best outcome.
00:57More stability, policy continuity, and of course, public spending.
01:01That will likely boost consumption as well as, hopefully, growth.
