Thai Entertainment Figures Seek Legal Aid Following Disputes with Music Label
Former The Voice Thailand champion Ekarit and singer Daniel have sought legal assistance from Thanakrit Law Firm regarding allegations of intimidation and unfair dismissal.
On September 7, 2026, Ekarit, the 2019 champion of The Voice Thailand, and Daniel, a finalist from the singing competition 'Mike Thong Kham,' visited the Thanakrit Law Firm in Bangkok’s Lat Krabang district. According to a report by Khaosod Online, the two artists are seeking legal support following ongoing disputes with a prominent music label.
Ekarit, who transitioned into a behind-the-scenes role as a promoter for the label, stated that he was accused of corruption by company executives. Despite maintaining his innocence, he claims to have faced persistent intimidation and harassment, which forced him to relocate his residence for safety. Meanwhile, Daniel has filed a complaint regarding what he describes as an unfair termination of his employment contract.
For residents and expatriates in Thailand, this case highlights the complexities of the local entertainment industry’s labor practices and the potential for high-profile contractual disputes. While these allegations have been formally presented to legal counsel, the claims of corruption and intimidation remain unproven. The public should await further investigation or court proceedings to determine the validity of these accusations. As of now, the specific music label involved has not issued a public response to these claims.
