Bangkok: Way Parinya Intachai, widely known as Way Thaitanium, appeared before investigators today to address charges of conspiracy to defraud. He attended the session to provide a statement and clarify the recent claims made by his fellow band member, Day Thaitanium, about their personal and professional relationship. During the investigation, Way confirmed the existence of a 2 million baht loan between them, clarifying that it was a private verbal agreement between long-time friends.
According to Thai News Agency, Way denied any knowledge of an alleged eight-figure loan claimed by Day. He emphasized that the only financial transaction between them was the 2 million baht loan. Way expressed surprise over the situation, especially after Day's social media revelations, and mentioned that he has been attempting to communicate with Day to resolve the misunderstanding. Regarding repayment, Way noted that there was no urgency on either side, as the agreement allowed Day to inform him when he was ready to repay.
The controversy has significantly impacted Way's professional engagements, particularly affecting concert plans. Way disclosed that several sponsors and artists have withdrawn their support due to the ongoing issues. When questioned about the possibility of proceeding with the concert, Way responded ambiguously, indicating uncertainty. He mentioned consulting with his legal team to explore options concerning the debt repayment situation.
The intense scrutiny from the media has added to Way's stress, especially with concerns about his family. Despite the challenges, he assured that his relationship with his wife, Nana Raibina Intachai, remains unchanged. Way continues to navigate the situation with a focus on clarifying misunderstandings and managing the implications for his career and personal life.
