On September 5, 2026, former Election Commissioner Somchai Srisutthiyakorn published a public statement on his Facebook page regarding the recent developments surrounding Nattawut Wongniem. Nattawut had successfully secured temporary release on bail after physically shoving Mr. Somchai, causing him to fall and sustain injuries inside the Thong Lo Police Station in front of numerous journalists and police officers.
Mr. Somchai stated in his post that after the criminal suspect was arrested, fingerprinted, and had his records processed, he was granted bail with a financial bond of 45,000 baht. Furthermore, police officers provided training and warnings instructing the suspect not to repeat his offenses or threaten others. Mr. Somchai expressed gladness that Nattawut was able to return home and hoped he would strictly follow the guidance provided by law enforcement officers.

However, the former EC commissioner took proactive preventative measures by delivering photographs of Nattawut, whom he designated as a dangerous individual, to the juristic office of the condominium where he resides. This step ensures that security guards and building management can maintain heightened vigilance and closely monitor the premises.
Mr. Somchai firmly warned that if any individual matching the suspect's facial features—whether dressed in a formal suit and tie or disguised as a ragged beggar—is spotted lurking around the condominium grounds during either daytime or nighttime, such actions will be classified as deliberate harassment by someone who refuses to learn his lesson.

In conclusion, Mr. Somchai declared that if any such threatening behavior occurs, he will not hesitate to coordinate directly with the investigative officers at Thong Lo Police Station to request that the court or police revoke the suspect's bail, sending him back to spend multiple nights behind bars.
Incidents of physical altercations within government premises such as police stations highlight ongoing concerns regarding public safety and emotional restraint in civic spaces. When a victim who previously held high-profile public office resorts to personal security measures and alerts residential management, it underscores serious anxieties regarding personal safety. Under Thai criminal procedure law, bail revocation can be pursued if a defendant exhibits behaviors that violate release conditions, such as intimidating or harassing victims or witnesses.
