Somyot Playduang submitted his resignation from the Democrat Party and paid respects to the Earth Goddess Bia Muam Hair Knot. He did not reveal where he would move next, only vaguely saying, “Anywhere that feels comfortable.”
At 12:30 p.m. on 12 Dec 2025 GMT+7, at the Democrat Party office, Somyot Playduang, former Songkhla MP, arrived to submit his resignation from the Democrat Party. He performed a ritual lighting incense to pay respects to the Earth Goddess Bia Muam Hair Knot, a symbol and sacred figure of the party. When reporters asked about his reason for resigning, Somyot remained expressionless and did not answer. When pressed about which political party he would join next, he walked away saying vaguely, “Anywhere that feels comfortable.” When reporters asked if this meant he was unhappy with the Democrat Party, Somyot refused to elaborate and replied only “I don’t know,” before greeting some party staff he knew personally. When asked about the local political situation, Somyot turned with a serious expression and replied, “Which area? Why don’t you go see for yourself how it is?” He then left the party office in his personal car, visibly irritated.
