Showing Up to Vote Is the New Cool

Avatar photo

8 February was charged with political enthusiasm, although the general election wasn’t the only highlight.

As Thailand headed to the polls yesterday in its bid to choose a new prime minister, the civic atmosphere took on a livelier tone as Thai celebrities drew cheers, smiles and selfies, lifting the mood beyond its usual seriousness.

These stars didn’t just show up for photo ops during the general election. Many made it clear they were politically aware and socially engaged. 

By moving past showbiz and into real-world issues, they signalled that politics is no longer off-limits in the entertainment world, helping shape political awareness and get people talking about what’s happening around them.

Koktail has gathered a lineup of stars who proved they’re more than just pretty faces, and who also made their votes count!

Koktail celebrates showing up, using your voice and making presence matter.
