School District Defends Principal Amid Infidelity Allegations

On August 21, a prominent private investigator known as Boy released investigation findings of an alleged affair case in which the husband hired him to investigate his wife, who has a four-month-old child, for allegedly having an affair with a school principal. The investigator claimed to have identified a forest area near a crematorium at a temple in Buriram as a meeting location, which generated significant discussion on social media.
When reporters visited Nong Bot Temple in Ta Chang subdistrict, Lahansai district, Buriram province—the location shown in Boy's posts—local residents, temple committee members, and the school housekeeper all stated the allegations were false.
The incident allegedly occurred on August 19 between 5 p.m. and 6 p.m., when a black sedan with suspected fake license plates parked near the temple and someone photographed the forest area. Boy subsequently posted that he has evidence and will await legal proceedings.
When questioned, Serim (an assumed name), the woman's father, stated that his son-in-law works in Chonburi province while his daughter works in Buriram, and they have two children together. He denied knowing the full story and said the claim that his daughter frequently leaves home at night is untrue, as they live in the same house and he has observed no such behavior. Regarding his son-in-law hiring a private investigator, he questioned whether the money might have been better spent on supporting the children.
Dr. Nattanon Wittayaprakorn, director of Buriram Educational Service Area Office District 3, stated that the school is small with only an acting principal. After the story spread, the district office conducted inquiries but found no irregularities. He noted that on August 19, the acting principal was absent from school attending a seminar.
Regarding the matter as a whole, no investigation committee has been established because no formal complaint has been filed. However, if a complaint is lodged, the district office will ensure fairness to all parties, as the issue is sensitive.
