Two-thirds (67.7 per cent) of the respondents thought that Yingluck’s flight from the verdict set an example to others to refrain from corruption. Prawit said yesterday that he believes Yingluck fled the country with help from people inside Thailand, but he had no idea who they might be. A security source said that the checkpoint was under the responsibility of the Burapha Force and was mostly busy. Another high-ranking security source asserted that the checkpoint seen in the footage was not that of the Burapha Force. As to speculation that Yingluck fled through Cambodia, the source said this would be impossible unless she was allowed to do so by officials there.
