Deceased Nonthaburi Governor's Daughter Defends Father's Legacy
The daughter of deceased Nonthaburi Governor Pol. Col. Thongchai Yenpraseert defended his legacy amid an alleged 11 million baht debt dispute, saying he devoted his life to serving the province during his four to five terms in office.
At 9:30 a.m. on August 11, 2025, family members and associates of Pol. Col. Thongchai Yenpraseert, former Nonthaburi Provincial Administrator, arrived at the Police Medical Institute to claim his body for religious rites. The family brought white clothing to dress him for the ceremony. His youngest daughter, Nanthasai Yenpraseert, 37, addressed the controversy over an alleged 11 million baht debt, saying "the truth is one and only. All residents of Nonthaburi know and understand well what kind of person my father was. My father only gave and helped Nonthaburi people throughout his working life. If my father were not a good person, he would not have served as provincial administrator for four to five consecutive terms. He was fully capable and ready to make sacrifices for the people of Nonthaburi." Regarding claims from the other party that they were friends, she said the matter should be resolved through the legal system and left to police investigators. When asked whether the other party could pay respects at the funeral, the family did not answer any further questions and entered the reception room.
