The situation was soon over and before going home Neung was having a cigarette outside when he saw the other party get into a Ford with Uthai Thani plates and a Yaris with Rayong plates.

 

He was asked why he was following them. He pointed out he was just smoking a cigarette and minding his own business.

 

he was then attacked by 7-8 individuals who piled out of the cars and assaulted him in the head.

 

Neung went to the press fearing that the alleged assailant's political connections would protect them against prosecution.

conclusion:  sinpachai or maybe neung  would not have gone to the police if his assailants had no political connections

It's either the case going cold or him. That's how things are being done here when dialing with some "politicians".

 

He is likely correct. Politics equates to power here, and the law seems to have little interest in pursuing those in a position of power, unless there is international news, or a great embarrassment to this weak, feeble and morally bankrupt administration.
