Bangkok: "Dew" Arisara Thongborisut has taken steps to return a Richard Mille luxury watch to May Wasana Intasang, asserting that there was no intention to defraud. She has promised to expedite the return of all items soon.
According to Thai News Agency, Mr. Nitisak Meekhwat, known as Lawyer Aing and representing Due Arisara, visited Thonglor Police Station to hand over the watch on her behalf. He explained that Due Arisara was unable to attend the meeting personally as she was abroad. After the incident, Lawyer Aing demonstrated Due Arisara's innocence by submitting a letter to the Crime Suppression Division, explaining her absence. He assured that coordination with May's lawyer is ongoing to ensure all pawned items are returned swiftly. The Lotus necklace has already been returned, and efforts are being made to retrieve the Richard Mille watch as well. The pawnbroker has agreed to a debt acknowledgment letter, allowing payment in monthly installments. Negotiations for the other items, including a Bulgari necklace and a brand-name bag, are also in process.
The Richard Mille watch was pawned for 3 million baht, with the pawnbroker refraining from charging interest due to Due's serious legal situation. The pawnbroker showed leniency by allowing her to pay in installments. Additionally, two brand-name bags were pawned for 3 million baht and a Bulgari necklace for 7 million baht. The pawnbroker has agreed to let Due settle the debt. A discussion with the pawnbroker's lawyer is anticipated to finalize the contract. Due Arisara has expressed her intention to resolve the matter quickly upon her return from abroad.
The formal handover of the Richard Mille watch, valued at 13.8 million baht, took place at Thonglor Police Station. The event involved the lawyers of Due Arisara, May Wasana, and a representative of the pawnbroker, ensuring all legal documentation was completed. Lawyer Aing expressed gratitude to May Wasana for her understanding, and May's lawyer reiterated that no legal action would be pursued if all items were returned. The agreement for the Richard Mille watch involves a one-year installment plan, with payments of at least 50,000 baht per month.
