Prime Minister Anutin Confirms Legal Action Against MP Rakchanok Over Fake Slip Allegations
Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has signaled his intent to pursue legal action against opposition MP Rakchanok Srinok for sharing a social media post containing a fabricated payment slip.
On October 27, 2026, Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Anutin Charnvirakul confirmed his intention to initiate legal proceedings against Rakchanok Srinok, a list MP from the People's Party. The dispute centers on a social media post shared by the MP, which featured a fabricated 'tea money' payment slip for 7 million baht, originally posted by a page known as 'Godd Dam'.
When questioned by reporters at Government House regarding whether he would proceed with a lawsuit, the Prime Minister nodded and stated that exercising his legal rights is a personal matter, adding that the public would see the results in due course. He further noted that the individual identified as the owner of the 'Godd Dam' page is reportedly located in the Chonburi area. Additionally, the Prime Minister emphasized that he has instructed the Commissioner-General of the Royal Thai Police to expedite all pending cases.
For residents and expatriates, this development highlights ongoing tensions between government officials and opposition members regarding digital content and defamation laws. While the Prime Minister has signaled his intent to sue, the formal filing of the lawsuit and the specific legal charges remain to be confirmed. Observers should monitor official police reports for updates on the investigation into the origin of the fabricated document and any subsequent legal filings.
