- Capt. Thamanat clarifies his trip to France and Monaco with family via Facebook.
- He denies rumors of political negotiations to rally support for a new prime minister.
- Insists he never met Thaksin Shinawatra, noting travel schedules can be verified.
- Firmly states he has no need to sneak around or fly across oceans for secret deals.
On July 29, 2026, Capt. Thamanat Prompow, leader of the Klatham Party, posted a statement on his personal Facebook account following widespread rumors that he had traveled to Monaco to negotiate with the Pheu Thai Party regarding the consolidation of parliamentary support to change the prime minister.
Capt. Thamanat clarified that while he did travel to France and Monaco, the journey was strictly a pre-planned vacation during the parliamentary recess to spend time with his wife and children, insisting there was no political agenda behind the trip whatsoever.
Rumors of secret overseas pacts, often dubbed as political manifestos or pacts abroad, frequently surface during times of legislative uncertainty in Thai politics. Political figures traveling abroad during parliamentary recesses are routinely scrutinized and linked to behind-the-scenes power plays. Capt. Thamanat's swift and firm denial serves as a strategic move to curb speculative reports before they can destabilize his party or coalition standing.
The Klatham leader further emphasized his straightforward approach, stating that he is not someone who operates behind closed doors and sees no necessity to cross oceans to meet with Thaksin Shinawatra in Europe as alleged by the rumors.
"I probably don't need to swear an oath anywhere. Just checking his travel schedule would show that he didn't travel to Monaco at all. #NoMonacoPact"

Concluding his statement, Capt. Thamanat noted that anyone could verify the facts by simply checking the travel records of Thaksin Shinawatra, which would prove that the former premier was never in Monaco, reiterating his stance with the hashtag denying any such pact.
