Saksayam contracted Covid allegedly after being associated with an outbreak at exclusive clubs in the Thong Lo area of Bangkok that many blame for the third wave of coronavirus that has devastated Thailand.

 

While Somsak needed to quarantine for 14 days after a Songkran party in his honor in Sukhothai resulted in the infection of around 18 at the party and dozens of others later including the death of one woman in Bangkok, notes Thaivisa.

Well with the convicted drug heroin trafficker Deputy Minister not found guilty or punished, then why should these bozos be any exception. You would think one finds something corrupt about all of everything regarding this junta government.

both are hiding away from the media.

chidchob might claim he is still sick and can't give interviews and answer questions about his timetable when he was at crystal club. But he can work remotely.

thepsutin's quarantine suppose to end on 27.04, but he also wasn't contactable after that and there is suspicion that he is sick. If he admitted to being sick the affair will come to public spotlight again.

this article is the first one to bring them back from media absence for many weeks, probably for the purpose of clearing them from the past, mentioning their faults rather as small mistakes, not a gross misconduct which in the other countries forced them to resign.
