On a crisp Tuesday morning, under the watchful eyes of Bangkok’s bustling cityscape, a dramatic unfolding of events took place that seemed as thrilling as a crime drama. The stars of this story? Nuwat Yongyut, aged 34, and his partner in life and, allegedly, crime, Sarinee Nuchanat, 32. The couple, previously known merely as financial assistants, were thrust into a whirlwind of accusations involving a staggering sum of 39 million baht. Their alleged crime? A deceit as thick as Bangkok’s morning smog and as bold as a street vendor’s approach. This story finds its roots entwined with that of Sittra Biabungkerd, a lawyer whose reputation has now taken a nosedive into scandal.

In a saga blending drama, land, and legalities, Deputy Interior Minister Songsak Thongsri took center stage on Monday to defend a contentious decision regarding land in Buri Ram’s Khao Kradong area.

The legal theater saw another act with the Central Administrative Court siding with the SRT, mandating a collaborative boundary check of Khao Kradong by the DoL and the…
