The recent remarks made by leading Thai actress Kwan-Usamanee Vaithayanon regarding the controversial death case of actress Tangmo Nida Patcharaveerapong have sparked intense public discussion, drawing widespread admiration for her outspoken stance alongside concerns for her personal safety.
During her appearance at the Y Entertain Awards 2026 event held on the 7th floor of Iconsiam shopping center in Bangkok, Kwan addressed the swirling media attention. She admitted to having concerns for her own safety but explained that she feels compelled to act correctly based on the upbringing instilled by her parents, having grown up around police flats and crime suppression division environments where her father served as a senior sergeant major.

Addressing how she handles an influx of phone calls and potential security concerns, the actress revealed that she ignores calls from unknown numbers, answering only those from trusted acquaintances and senior figures she recognizes. Business inquiries, interview requests, and event bookings are securely directed through her Line Official account or handled directly by her mother.
The involvement of prominent cultural and media figures in high-profile criminal investigations like the Tangmo Nida case highlights how public discourse and parallel civil scrutiny can keep critical legal questions alive. By referencing technical reenactments and expert groups such as those led by Sondhi Limthongkul and Panthep Pongpanpanich, public figures help maintain pressure for thorough judicial transparency.
The actress noted that her strong ties and the kindness she receives from various senior police officers and public figures stem not from her own status, but from the respect and fond memories they held for her father, Pol. Sub-Lt. Kasem Vaithayanon. She reiterated that her actions are driven by a sense of duty and a commitment to speaking the truth without crossing into aggression.
"หนูก็เป็นห่วงตัวเองเหมือนกันค่ะ แต่หนูก็ทำอะไรไม่ได้ นอกจากว่าเราก็ต้องแบบ… เรารู้ว่าอะไรควรทำ อะไรไม่ควรทำ สิ่งที่ขวัญทำตอนนี้คือ ขวัญรู้แค่ว่ามันเป็นสิ่งที่เราควรทำ แล้วมันเป็นสิ่งที่คุณพ่อคุณแม่ปลูกฝังเรา"

Regarding future legal proceedings and whether she will be summoned to provide further testimony, Kwan confirmed her absolute readiness to cooperate fully with investigators and judicial authorities to the best of her ability. She also shared her skepticism regarding the initial accident narrative surrounding the boat incident, pointing to practical reenactments on the Chao Phraya River that demonstrate the physical difficulty of standing or moving near the stern of a moving vessel.
