On October 31, 2026, reporters spoke with Mr. Apichat, known as Contractor Ae, who had returned to Phuket to gather documents and evidence for Lawyer Decha. The media questioned him about the trail running track case in Kathu district, Phuket, after former Kaeng Krachan National Park chief Chaiwat Limlikitaksorn posted photos and information about national reserved forest land being encroached upon for a trail running track. He also noted that a shooting range had been constructed within the same area.
Contractor Ae confirmed this was true, explaining that the trail track construction site also included a shooting range on the same plot of land. As far as he knows, the land belongs to Got, husband of Bua Panadda, who presented a Sor Por Kor 5-01 document and explained its origin, which gave him confidence to proceed with construction as instructed.
Contractor Ae stated his role was only to carry out construction according to Got's orders. Got's intention was allegedly to create a place for the public to exercise and for his group of friends to work out, before legal action was later taken for forest encroachment.
Regarding the Plu Villa construction permit documents submitted to the Mai Khao Subdistrict Administrative Organization, including power of attorney and other documents bearing certified signatures by Bua Panadda, Contractor Ae said to ask Lawyer Decha directly since all evidence is now with him. He fears providing information might affect the case later. On whether documents were forged, he believes Lawyer Decha should clarify.
Regarding a video clip Lawyer Decha previously discussed concerning signature characteristics, Contractor Ae admitted it was difficult to answer as it involves Got's private family matters. He fears speaking might implicate others and wants Got to explain himself.
Regarding Lawyer Tam's claim that Contractor Ae previously took construction work for the Doing Good Foundation in Pathum Thani but encountered concrete beam problems requiring a contractor change, Contractor Ae denies any involvement in that foundation's construction whatsoever and says he doesn't even know where it is located. He admits he was only asked to submit price proposals for a kitchen building, shrine, and other structures but was never hired. He challenges anyone claiming he did the work and caused beam failures to present evidence and discuss facts.
What he wants most now is for Got to come forward and clarify all issues clearly. He wants to speak with Got directly but cannot reach him as the other party is not answering calls. After their long relationship, he hopes Got will return to talk and prevent the situation from escalating further and affecting others.
