- Phai Lik, Kla Tham Party Secretary-General, denied rumors of 10 MPs in Boonying Nitikarnjana's faction moving to Bhumjaithai.
- He firmly stated that the Kla Tham Party has no defectors and expressed absolute confidence in holding his ground.
- He emphasized a man's word is his bond, vowing not to play a double game and to stand firm for the public.
Political tensions flared on August 10, 2026, when Mr. Phai Lik, MP for Kamphaeng Phet and Secretary-General of the Kla Tham Party (KTH), posted on his personal Facebook account to address heavy speculation. Rumors had spread that 10 Kla Tham MPs belonging to the faction led by Mrs. Boonying Nitikarnjana, MP for Ratchaburi, along with Mr. Thanawat Nitikarnjana, president of Ratchaburi FC and Mrs. Boonying's son, were planning to defect to the Bhumjaithai Party in the next general election.
This swirling speculation caused significant concern regarding the political stability and unity of the Kla Tham Party, particularly given Mrs. Boonying's strong political foothold in Ratchaburi province. Prompted by the reports, the party leadership felt an urgent need to clarify their stance to the public and party members.
"Kla Tham confirms there is not a single snake here. Snake catchers will certainly not lose to snakes, and we will work exclusively for the public interest."

In addition to addressing the defection rumors, Mr. Phai Lik strongly reiterated the ideological stance and loyalty of himself and his party members, making it clear that their commitment to the party remains steadfast despite external media reports.
"A word is a word, no double games. Being a man means daring to confront everything for the people."

The fierce rebuttal from the Kla Tham Party's Secretary-General highlights the ongoing strategic maneuvers and anxieties surrounding party loyalty in Thai politics. Rumors of MP floor-crossing or joining larger coalition partners can severely disrupt mid-sized parties, making swift and public denials essential for maintaining internal discipline and voter confidence ahead of future electoral cycles.
