"I wonder if I will meet you, Thammanat. I want to ask, you claim to be brave, saying you don't mind suing politicians but also sue ordinary citizens. Those who offer themselves to serve the people and gain power and trust have that power to stand with the people, not to misuse it like this. And is this small statement really worth 100 million baht in damages? You say you are brave. People of Phayao, we will meet tomorrow. Even if we can't change things, we will definitely make it uncomfortable. Don't be too confident. The people of Phayao want a lot of change."
