City Hall has told the United Thai Nation Party (UTN) to stop projecting a laser election campaign display on the giant pillar supporting Rama 8 Bridge, after being asked by Election Commission to investigate it, Bangkok Governor Chadchart Sittipunt said on Tuesday.

Mr Chadchart said Tipanan Sirichana, a party-list candidate of the UTN, sent a letter to the city clerk on May 7 seeking permission to campaign for votes in the Rama 8 Park area from May 8-12.  A document  attached to the letter gave details of a laser lighting display on a pillar of Rama 8 Bridge.
