Early life
editWiroj was born in the Bangkok's Yan Nawa area (now separated into Sathon district in 1989) as the eldest son in a middle-class Thai Chinese family. After graduating from Wat Suthiwararam School, he received a bachelor's degree in automotive engineering and an MBA from Chulalongkorn University.[2] He also received a PhD in economics from National Institute of Development Administration (NIDA).[3]
Before entering politics, he was the director of human resources for SE-EDUCATION Public Company Limited, the largest bookstore in Thailand.
Political career
editIn the 2019 Thai general election, he became a member of parliament on the party list of the Future Forward Party.[4]
When Future Forward was dissolved in 2020 by the Constitution Court, he joined its de facto successor, the Move Forward Party, as party spokesman.[5] In early 2022, he resigned to launch his candidacy for the governorship of Bangkok. Although not elected, he received 253,938 votes (9.5%) for the third place.[6][7]
He was noted for his fierce and distinctive speech, particularly during the censure debate.[8]
