Boonsong’s relatives joined his lawyer Narin Somnuek and Phumi’s daughter in an early-morning visit to the prison. Relatives of Akarapong Chuaykiang, the also-jailed former secretary of Department of Foreign Trade came with them. But all were told that they would have to wait until Monday before they would be allowed to visit the three prisoners. Narin declined to tell reporters details of his plan to seek Boonsong’s release on bail. Krit Krasaethip, chief of the Bangkok Remand Prison, told Nation TV in a phone interview that nobody would be allowed to visit the inmates on Saturday.
