Chai Eamsiri, former Chief Executive Officer of Thai Airways, has come out to rebut allegations through his personal Facebook page after the company's board resolved to suspend him from duty on October 2. He stated that the wine procurement case, in which he is accused of bypassing proper channels and handling the matter himself, followed detailed and rigorous procedures in accordance with regulations and can be audited at any time. He affirmed that throughout 41 years of work he has never had any blemish related to corruption and is ready to submit to scrutiny by any agency in the country. He also noted that he was already the authorized-signatory director with the weakest financial standing on the Thai Airways board. He asked that drama or disrespectful remarks not be brought into his space.
