Dang Pangkon joins in teasing the go-kart protest drama, saying the issue wouldn't be this big if no one had claimed to be a descendant of Chao Phraya Na Man. The topic has been heavily discussed online after Benz Prik Thai posted on her Instagram story, "I'm frustrated having to stay calm when I'm actually a descendant of Chao Phraya Na Man," adding, "I'm not destitute either." Netizens linked it to the ongoing go-kart race controversy before she clarified it was unrelated and asked not to associate it. Nevertheless, netizens continue to mock and joke about it across platforms, including Dang Pangkon, who posted, "I'm frustrated having to stay calm when we're also descendants of Chao Phraya Na Pang," and joked that most of his page's followers are Chao Phraya Na people working at the Bank for Agriculture and Agricultural Cooperatives, some holding positions like deputy minister of debtors and the lord of cooperative capital. He also commented on the protest, saying protesting and checking winners is normal in sports, but it wouldn't have blown up this much if no one had claimed to be a descendant of Chao Phraya Na Man, Na Saen. The phrase "descendant of Chao Phraya Na Man" became another meme teased online amid the ongoing go-kart drama.
