Police Summon Influencer 'Pote' Following Public Dispute
Thong Lo police officers met influencer 'Pote' at Channel 3 studios to request his cooperation in an ongoing investigation following a public fallout.
On October 16, 2026, officers from the Thong Lo Police Station arrived at the Channel 3 studio complex to request an interview with the social media personality known as 'Pote' following his appearance on the 'Hone Krasae' television program. The police presence relates to an ongoing investigation involving public disputes between Pote and other individuals, including figures identified as Wave and Chompoo.
Speaking to the media after the broadcast, Pote acknowledged past mistakes and expressed a desire for personal growth. He addressed specific allegations regarding his involvement in a conflict between Wave and Chompoo, admitting that he had acted upon information provided solely by Wave. Pote stated that he had previously attempted to communicate with Chompoo, but noted that he now realizes the information he received may have been inaccurate. He currently maintains a neutral stance, stating he believes the accounts provided by the parties involved are '50/50' and has decided to distance himself from the situation.
For residents and visitors, this event highlights the high-profile nature of social media disputes in Thailand, which can occasionally escalate to police involvement. While Pote has expressed a willingness to cooperate, the legal status of the investigation remains fluid. It is not yet confirmed whether formal charges will be filed or if this remains a preliminary fact-finding mission by local authorities.
