The atmosphere at the Criminal Court during the evidence review, witness examination, and scheduling of trial dates for the "Way-Nana" case was tense. "Khao Pod" shared her feelings after facing her former close friend in court, admitting the environment was very uncomfortable and her feelings changed completely. She declared that now, in her forties, she prefers to choose friends based on quality and, together with her family, is building a new life. She revealed that the moment she stepped into the courtroom, she felt very nervous and uneasy because her feelings had turned completely—from someone she once loved and trusted like close family to now just someone she used to know.
: Khao Pod said: "Previously, I mentioned wanting a chance to meet in court. When it actually happened, I initially felt uncomfortable. As I entered, I looked for both of them, hoping to make eye contact. The atmosphere in court was quite tense. The feelings upon meeting changed 360 degrees—from love and deep trust like close family to now just people we once knew. This situation has caused pain for us, our families, and friends. We still hold hope and believe in justice in this world and that karma is real. If we do what is right, good things should come."
"Regarding the house sale, we had no knowledge at all. There's been no updates from their side; they haven't informed us about anything. We don't know what their daily life is like. Nowadays, our friends’ group chat keeps sending messages and memes to encourage each other. We are very fortunate friends. If anyone faces something like this in life, Jen and I always say, ‘We're lucky to have each other, friends and family who support and encourage us every day.’ It makes us wake up feeling blessed, happy, and strong to keep fighting in life."
"We earn a living honestly. People without friends are to be pitied. Many friends couldn’t come today due to busy schedules but sent their continuous support. When the court summons us in the future, we will attend as scheduled. Hopefully, we will be called together so we can hold hands as a group. At first, I felt nervous and uneasy going in, but sitting with friends, looking at loved ones, holding hands, it made me feel better."
"When I tried to make eye contact, it seemed he was quite distressed. People shouldn't be happy in such a state, but from what I saw, Nana looked troubled and often avoided eye contact, making brief eye contact twice. Way appeared smiling and looked back at us for about two to three seconds at a time. I don’t expect there will be any conversation. Actually, I’ve always been open and never closed myself off, but if he wanted to talk, he would have prepared to do so long ago. For now, there is no talk and I don’t expect any. I want everything to follow justice and karma. I hope everyone will do their best to act rightly."
"Regarding choosing friends, now that we’re all in our forties, we try to filter friends. I don’t want to be tired; I want to meet quality people—friends who love each other and hold hands through life. Nowadays, just being a mother, working, and a wife is exhausting. Having too many friends would be tiring, so I cut down to only real quality ones. Luckily, my husband and family constantly support and encourage me; otherwise, I would be very lost. Having a family unit that understands what we’re facing is very good. Although it affects us a lot, we have a good family."
"As for the clothing brand, we can build it anew. Jen believes we can because we’ve done it before. Everyone has 24 hours equally and equal opportunities. So, I’m determined to start building a new life. Regarding why I trusted him enough for this to happen, I can’t say because it’s part of the case. But his reasons back then made me trust him sufficiently. As for whether other victims will join as co-plaintiffs, that’s up to each individual. We don’t know all 11 victims personally."
