Large Gathering in Narathiwat Marks Wedding and Ongoing Legal Case
Thousands gathered in Narathiwat for the wedding of MP Kamolsak Leewamoh’s son, with Prachachat Party leader Tawee Sodsong in attendance.
On Saturday, September 19, 2026, a significant crowd estimated at over ten thousand people gathered in Ban Som Poi, Bacho District, Narathiwat, for the 'Walimah' (wedding reception) of the son of Kamolsak Leewamoh, a Prachachat Party Member of Parliament for Narathiwat. The event was attended by Pol. Col. Tawee Sodsong, leader of the Prachachat Party and advisor to the House Committee on Law, Justice, and Human Rights, who served as the guest of honor.
Beyond the celebration, the gathering served as a show of support regarding an ongoing legal matter. The event coincided with the six-month mark since an attempted shooting incident involving the MP. Supporters from various areas utilized the occasion to express solidarity with the politician as the investigation into the attack continues.
For residents and visitors in the Deep South, such large-scale political gatherings are common but can lead to localized traffic congestion and increased security presence in the vicinity of the event. While the atmosphere was reported as lively, those traveling through the Bacho District should remain aware of potential road delays during high-profile political functions. As of now, official updates regarding the progress of the shooting investigation remain pending, and the public continues to monitor the legal proceedings closely.
