Chaiyachon Detchdecho, a Democrat Party list MP responsible for the southern region, posted a photo on his personal Facebook while having lunch with Deputy Superintendent Thanongsak Sawasdikhomsol, deputy investigator at Thung Yai Provincial Police Station under Nakhon Si Thammarat Provincial Police Command (Region 8 Police), alongside friends and family members. In the caption, Chaiyachon wrote: "This meal, with Uncle Toom and his family—a long-standing, strong friendship built on mutual understanding." The post comes after Chaiyachon was accused of assaulting Thanongsak at a funeral, an incident that drew public attention. The lunch photo and caption appear to signal that friendly relations and a good personal relationship persist between both parties despite the case remaining under investigation. Chaiyachon has previously stated that he neither harmed nor intended to harm the police officer, said he respects the police, and expressed his readiness to proceed through the investigative process.
