Chiang Mai Mail Reporters

Screen and television actor Tao Somchai Khemklad was sentenced to 15 days in jail on April 23 for assaulting Lampang resident Veerachart or Kota Densirikul in January earlier this year.

On January 5, Tao Somchai entered a noodle shop in Suan Dok in Lampang where, after offering a wai greeting to all occupants, punched Veerachart in the face when not receiving a wai in return.

Veerachart filed a formal complaint with the police and Tao was charged with assault. Taop was required to attend Court 7 times before sentencing. The Court took into consideration that this was Tao Somchai’s third arrest for assault when sentencing him to jail.

Currently out on bail having bonded property worth 794,000, his lawyer, Rathapol Bhuddharod, announced that the actor plans to appeal the decision.
