In a significant development that intertwines entertainment and justice, Panida Siriyudthayothin, the mother of the late Thai actress Nida “Tangmo” Patcharaveerapong, has given her nod to Netflix to explore a documentary about her daughter's controversial death. Tangmo’s passing, which remains shrouded in mystery, has stirred nationwide debate, with many still seeking answers.

 

The tragic incident occurred during a boat trip with friends, leading to legal actions against several individuals present at the time. The group included Idsarin "Gatick" Juthasuksawat, Tangmo’s manager; Wisapat "Sand" Manomairat, another manager; Tanupat "Por" Lerttaweewit, the boat owner; Phaiboon "Robert" Trikanjananun, the unlicensed driver; and Nitas "Job" Kiratisoonthisathorn, a mutual friend.

 

Charged with recklessness causing Tangmo’s death, Robert and Por admitted their faults. Por received a suspended sentence of two years and nine months with a 64,000 baht (approximately 1,800 USD) fine, alongside mandatory public service. Robert also got a suspended sentence of two years and two months with a 54,000 baht (around 1,500 USD) fine.

 

Gatick, Sand, and Job maintained their innocence, and last month, the Nonthaburi Provincial Court dismissed the charges against them due to insufficient evidence. Yet, Tangmo's mother refuses to accept the situation passively. She remains resolute in her pursuit of justice, evident from her recent visit to the court to secure the latest verdict for an appeal.

 

Amidst this legal labyrinth, Panida expressed the challenges she's faced, managing extensive documentation and seeking a new lawyer capable of navigating the complexities and public scrutiny the case has attracted.

 

The potential Netflix documentary is a beacon of hope both for preserving Tangmo’s legacy and perhaps obtaining justice. Panida had initially been approached by Netflix but could not engage due to her commitments to the legal battle. However, she is now ready to proceed with talks, underscoring the need for proper management of copyright and costs.

 

This collaboration, if realised, could bring global attention to Tangmo's story and possibly shed light on unresolved aspects of the case. Panida’s decision to move forward with Netflix could be an important step in both her personal journey for closure and public understanding of the tragedy.

In Thailand, it’s not the river that’s murky—it’s the verdict.
