Supachai responded to Senator Nantana, telling her not to get defensive, revealing that the orange senators' meeting held in the Jupiter Room at Muang Thong Thani did not involve sharing expenses, as there is evidence that Hiran from Fa Diao Kan both booked and paid for it all himself.

On 30 Jul 2026 GMT+7, Supachai Jaisamut, chairman of the legal task force for Bhumjaithai Party MPs, posted a message addressing Senator Nantana Nantavaropas regarding the alleged collusion among orange senators. He said there was no need to get defensive, noting that the meeting of the orange senators' candidates at the Jupiter Room, Muang Thong Thani, did not involve sharing expenses. Instead, Hiran from Fa Diao Kan was the sole person who both reserved and paid for the event, stating: Tags: [Supachai Jaisamut, Senator Nantana, Bhumjaithai Party, political controversy]
"Actually, I have been a fan of Senator Nantana ever since she appeared on a talk show that was entertaining and lighthearted, like a jokester’s parliament, and then became a senator. I concluded that she remains consistent in her ways, speaking as she always does regardless of her position. Am I troubled or defending any senator? The answer is no."Tags: [Supachai Jaisamut, Senator Nantana, personal opinion]
"But if you have followed recent weeks, I am not defending anyone except the Bhumjaithai Party and nine individuals within the party who have been accused by the iLaw group and opposition parties of being involved in collusion among senators."Tags: [political defense, accusations, Bhumjaithai Party, iLaw, opposition] Supachai further stated:Tags: [statement, politics]
He questioned how the actions of the orange senators' group differed from the accusations, since the procedures from district to national levels appeared the same. If that group is colluding, then it is similar to the groups being accused. He acknowledged that collusion did occur but without fraud, providing evidence of similar practices, and noted that the Election Commission has the legal authority to investigate.Tags: [election commission, investigation, collusion, political process]
"If nothing wrong was done, there is no need to get defensive. Whether actions are right or wrong, the public sees it, and the individuals involved know themselves if they acted wrongly. As for those saying they did not truly succeed or survive, that is a separate matter from whether they were properly elected, which is a future issue."Tags: [public perception, accountability, election legitimacy] Supachai also said:Tags: [statement, politics]
What I want to say is that before 300 people gathered at the Jupiter Room, Muang Thong Thani—from district to province to nation—however many times they met, the fact is that the senator admitted 300 people did meet there. But whether they contributed money or not is unproven and must be investigated.Tags: [meeting size, event details, investigation]
However, the information I have does not match Senator Nantana’s claim that the banquet costs were shared. According to the evidence, the person who booked and paid for this event was one individual from Fa Diao Kan, namely Mr. Hiran.Tags: [financial evidence, event payment, Senator Nantana, Hiran, Fa Diao Kan]
Supachai also added:Tags: [statement, politics] "I am not a lapdog, nor have I seen the senator’s tail. If the senator is innocent and became a senator due to genuine popularity and reputation from the talk show without being organized, she need not be defensive. As a public figure, she must be ready for scrutiny and respect legal authorities’ decisions. Let the legal mechanisms proceed calmly without agitation."Tags: [public scrutiny, innocence, legal process, political integrity] .Tags: []
