On October 20, 2026, a senior female physician at a hospital in Surin Province submitted evidence to the media, requesting help tracking progress on her legal complaint and disciplinary investigation. The incident originated on February 2, 2026, around 9:30 PM, when she received a notification and data from a Line user containing screenshots of a group chat that included a District Public Health Official. The conversation featured severe demeaning, insulting, and sexually threatening language, causing her significant harm, embarrassment, and a severely impacted working environment in primary care. After the incident, she filed a police complaint with evidence, but several months have passed with no progress on the case. Meanwhile, false rumors have spread claiming she accepted money to settle the matter. She affirms on her honor that she never agreed to or accepted a single baht, and the rumors have caused great distress to her family. As a physician duty-bound to care for patients, she asserts such sexual harassment should never happen to medical personnel and urges police and her parent agency to pursue the case to the fullest extent of the law. The hospital director revealed that upon learning of the complaint and reviewing the documents, he was deeply shocked, as such an event should never occur to staff in the area. He initially advised the doctor to file a formal criminal complaint and simultaneously submitted complaint letters to the Surin Provincial Public Health Office and Surin Provincial Police to establish a disciplinary investigative committee and monitor the legal proceedings until resolution.
