Panthongtae or “Oak” posted on his Facebook page that it used to be a tradition for him to prostrate before his father and mother on his birthday every year. “In the past ten years until today, my family members and I have always insisted that we just need to get our warm family back. And no one in my family wants to be involved in politics at all,“If it becomes true, it will be the most precious gift for me and my family,” he wrote. The status on his Facebook displayed a photo of his mother, Khunying Potjaman Na Pombejra, place her hand on Oak's head to bless him. Panthongtae himself is facing a charge in a money-laundering case over a multi-billion-baht loan fraud linked to the state-owned Krungthai Bank.
