The case of 3-year-old Nong Chompoo, who was found dead on a Mukdahan mountain six years ago, will be the subject of the first true-crime documentary by Netflix Thailand, with her uncle-in-law, the convicted killer, making an unexpected onscreen appearance. Netflix Thailand unveiled its 2026 programme lineup on Friday night, closing with a documentary titled Chompoo: Lost & Forgotten. The appeal court upheld the lower court’s acquittal of Chaiphol’s wife, Somporn “Pa Taen” Lappho, the sister of Nong Chompoo’s mother. ‘What makes a suspect turn into a celebrity?’When Nong Chompoo vanished from her remote village, the police investigation quickly became a national spectacle. Last year, more than 90% of Netflix viewers in Thailand chose to watch Thai content, underscoring its popularity, Netflix Thailand said.
