Pheu Thai Deputy Leader Denies Silencing Allegations

At 12:45 p.m. on August 3, 2025, at Parliament, Sirikanya Tansakul, a Pheu Thai list MP and deputy party leader, addressed allegations made by former Bangkok MP Thisana Chunhawan that party executives asked her to keep quiet about harassment she experienced. Tansakul asserted that the party never requested silence or secrecy regarding the initial incident, and that no details about the alleged perpetrator were disclosed, making it impossible to launch an investigation at that time.

Tansakul clarified that Thisana could file a complaint and that her case preceded other subsequent incidents. She emphasized that the party now wants to handle the matter fairly and justly. "The party is willing to receive factual information from Thisana directly to conduct a thorough investigation. The process has already begun, and even though Thisana has not provided information, we will gather available evidence to ensure maximum justice," Tansakul said.

When asked whether other executives had been notified by Thisana, Tansakul said some had received reports, but the information provided was incomplete and did not identify the perpetrator, making it unclear how to proceed. She noted that the party had not prioritized workplace sexual safety policies when this incident occurred, but has since improved its handling of such matters. Tansakul confirmed the party is now better equipped to address such cases and stands ready to investigate past incidents based on facts.
