The remarkable rise of Rukchanok 'Ice' SrinorkRukchanok 'Ice' Srinork, a party-list candidate for the People's Party, meets with supporters at an election campaign event in the Samyan area of Bangkok on Jan 25. Rukchanok "Ice" Srinork, a former lawmaker representing the People's Party, is now the most popular politician in Thai history. Ice Rukchanok, as people call her, is not just popular; she is phenomenal in male-dominated Thai politics. The SSF became a national agenda -- with Ice at its centre: outspoken, fearless, relentless in her call for transparency. She was scorned as the daughter of a prostitute and a pimp -- a class slur in Thai politics.
