During questioning, Mr. Tonthong continued to deny the charges but cooperated fully with investigators. He is preparing to provide additional details in a written statement later.

The offense is not severe, with estimated damages around 3 million baht. 4. Bail conditions were aligned with Supreme Court regulations, setting the bond at 1 million baht.
