Lawyer Sitra Stages Mock Protest at DSI Headquarters

On September 8, 2026, lawyer Sitra Biabangkerd arrived at the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) headquarters in a highly unconventional manner. According to a report by Thai Post, Sitra appeared wearing a bright orange life vest and a fake mustache, riding a jet ski mounted on wheels. He circled the DSI building, claiming in a satirical performance that he had traveled from the Strait of Hormuz.

Sitra stated that his performance was intended to mimic 'Gun Jompalang,' a well-known public figure, as a form of mockery. After circling the premises, he parked the vehicle and presented a thick stack of documents to the media present at the scene.

For residents and travelers, this event highlights the highly performative nature of public disputes involving high-profile figures in Thailand. While the spectacle drew significant attention from the press, it remains unclear what specific legal or administrative actions were contained within the documents Sitra presented to the DSI. Observers should note that such public demonstrations are often used to gain media traction during ongoing investigations. As of now, the DSI has not issued a formal statement regarding the contents of the documents or the nature of the lawyer's visit.
