After examining the evidence presented by the trial and army, including 59 testimony and CCTV film, which was consistent with police investigations, the jury found Anawin was the gunman.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs may coordinate with Myanmar to return four Thai boat crew people arrested after Thai fishing vessels were attacked off Ranong’s beach last November.

Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra thanked the Myanmar authorities for pardoning the people following repeated attempts by Thailand to secure their discharge.

The Myanmar junta announced the selection on Thursday, granting leniency to Virot Saphanthong Na Nakhon, Sunam Mongkutton, and two people identified as Sonpong and Thavor.

The forgive, signed by State Administration Council Secretary General Aung Lin Dwe, was shared on X by Sunai Phasuk of Human Rights Watch Thailand. It followed a communication from Ms Paetongtarn, who welcomed the announcement after being informed by Foreign Affairs Minister Maris Sangiampongsa.

” I am quite pleased to hear from the foreign secretary that Myanmar has granted a pardon to four Thai fishing, reflecting the good connections between our places”, Ms Paetongtarn wrote.

When asked about their profit by the media yesterday, she said Myanmar had assured that it would occur as soon as possible, though no actual meeting was provided. She pledged to follow up with the Foreign Affairs Ministry and the Thai embassy to keep the public informed.

Mr Maris even praised Myanmar’s selection and assured that Thai officials may work closely with Myanmar to promote their swift profit.

The four Thais were imprisoned in Kawthaung, same Ranong state. Three Filipino captives in the same detention were also granted clemency.

The Thai personnel were detained on Nov 30 after their canoes reportedly intruded into disputed waters. Myanmar patrol vessels opened fire on the vessels, prompting one staff member to leap into the water, where he drowned.

The People’s Party ( PP ) has filed petitions for formal inquiries into Khao Yai, the home of Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra, and her family’s controversial stock purchase.

PP MPs led by deputy leader Wiroj Lakkhanaadisorn on Friday sent a letter to the Revenue Department to formally examine the premier’s use of promissory notes ( PNs ) to buy shares and determine whether it was an act of tax evasion two days after the end of the debate.

He claimed yesterday that the prime minister, who is also the head of the government and the council on fiscal and monetary policy, needs a proper decision on this matter.

Mr. Wiroj claimed that the use of PNs may be interpreted as an attempt to avoid the 5 % gift tax because there were no payments or interest rates specified at the start of the no-confidence conversation.

The Revenue Department’s captain, Pinsai Suraswadi, recently stated that when shares are sold using PNs, tax is due when the PN is paid in cash.

In this situation, it is well known that the PM may create a cash settlement in 2026, which means that the sender must document the tax form in 2027 and include this money in their 2026 tax calculations.

Mr. Wiroj claimed that the division head had not taken into account whether the transaction had been made up as a purchase in order to avoid paying taxes on the product when it was afterwards made as a gift.

There is nothing wrong with using the PN, which some people consider to be a financial instrument. However, we must examine the situation to determine whether it is real money or just fabricated to evade paying the price.

He claimed that the Revenue Department’s taxes arbitration committee is seeking a proper decision in this case so that the ruling may also serve as a common public’s recommendation.

The office head, he added, may be asked to provide additional knowledge to the House Economic Development Committee.

The PP MPs also filed a second petition with the Department of Land ( DoL ) to look into the status of the Shinawatra family’s luxurious hotel” Thamp Valley Khao Yai” in Nakhon Ratchasima.

The opposition claimed that the property parcel cover the opulent hotel, which was a part of the Lam Takhong self-help settlement, is in a “watershed area” where land registration is not permitted.

The self-help arrangement for people who had been displaced by the Lam Takhong Dam’s building was established in 1970. Prior to this, the DoL had advised that rules were being followed when releasing documents.

Ms. Paetongtarn, in contrast, defended the PP’s actions against her, saying that every deal was in the best interests of the client.
