It seems that Mr. Ekkayuth may have a history of making trouble. Why else would he have his own personal body guards? Which leads one to ask what were they doing when he was supposedly assaulted?

This entire story is very fishy.

Why doesnt he give names then .It isnt defamation if you say someone met some one .Defamation laws protect people who usually have a lot to hide .

"Mr Ekkayuth said the attacker was in uniform and he did not recognise him."
Really? According to another article, "The man's face was familiar and it was obvious that he used to work for Thaksin, he said."
