Lawyer Seeks Protection Following Alleged Surveillance in Senate Selection Case
Attorney Phattarapong Suphaksorn has petitioned the National Human Rights Commission for protection after discovering GPS tracking devices on his vehicle.
On October 19, 2026, attorney Phattarapong Suphaksorn, known as 'Lawyer Aun,' filed a formal request with the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) of Thailand. He is seeking an investigation and safety measures following a series of incidents he describes as intimidation and surveillance.
According to reports from Khaosod Online, Phattarapong claims he has been followed and photographed since October 12, 2026, while attending official appointments. The situation escalated on October 15, when he discovered two GPS tracking devices attached to the underside of his personal vehicle in Nakhon Ratchasima. He has since filed a police report regarding the discovery.
Phattarapong is currently involved in a case concerning alleged money laundering and criminal association related to the Senate selection process. He intends to coordinate with the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) to secure witness protection.
For residents and travelers, this incident highlights an ongoing legal dispute involving high-profile political processes. While the attorney has reported these events to the authorities, the identity of those responsible for the alleged surveillance remains unconfirmed. The NHRC is currently reviewing the petition to determine the next steps. As the investigation proceeds, those following Thai political developments should monitor official updates from the DSI and local law enforcement regarding the validity of these claims.
